hello Sarah and welcome to FADU.
You say your conditions will be a long way from textbooks...that shouldn't worry you but, yes, textbooks! I would recommend you to immediately get a good book on B&W photography. There are probably many, one which I favor is "Way Beyond Monochrome" and it's often referred to here on fadu. Peter |

I've just come back from the darkroom board where I posted a question about some bits of kit I have gathered together and also had a kind offer of some bits and bobs there. As I dont wish to be greedy, and just say yes to everthing, should I PM you with the bits and bobs I have already ? many thanks Sarah |

Sarah, I have a spare copyof Tim Rudman's "The Photographers Master Printing Course" which I think is the most informative, clear and and relevent book I have seen on printing. If you would like it you can have it for the cost of postage. Just send me a PM with your address.

FREE PDF version of 'Way beyond monochrome' available...
Quote:
BUT it cover's just about anything you will need to ask and it covers everything for the beginner right through to the very well advanced. Best bit though, is that it is available at quite a few sites as a PDF for FREE = type into google etc 'Way beyond monochrome PDF' and it'll come up. Here's the first link that it offers: http://lightinspired.deviantart.com/...2011-259347478 I have downloaded it to print bits out etc but I have also bought it as I still much prefer the feel of a good book in the lap to read.

Also a welcome from me and offer of another book for the price of the postage - Larry Bartlett's Black&White Photographic Printing Workshop.
This book has numerous examples of how to get from the negative to the expressive and atmospheric print by a newspaper D/R printer who brought out the best in negatives maybe not taken under the most ideal of conditions. I had a lovely time ransacking people's darkrooms as they fled to digital; take full advantage of offers! Mike |
