Thanks for coming guys! It was such a manic day I felt like a didn't get much chance to chat to people but the huge interested in demonstrations and people printing for the first time was well worth it. I really hope that the Sunny16 episode is edited...or maybe hearing the chat/thoughts of...

No problems Nick, just let me know if you can... fingers crossed. Excellent. You bringing that negative again to do a fibre print this time?

Just read this over on Emulsive - love them! Really enjoyed reading about the process too and dedication to getting those great photos. (y):)

Thanks Steve! :) All welcome to come along for a bit of a film meet up, the BBQ/film party bit will start from 3pm (until late). Let me know if you're coming and i'll add some extra sausages/burgers to the shopping basket. Oh and if you've not done any darkroom printing before, please bring...

This is the setup I use, a semi-mobile unit that does the job and the sink part only cost £24 ;) Table made from some left over C16 timber and plywood, the sink is a gardening tray 1mx1m: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Garland-GP112B-1m-Square-Tray/dp/B004WY1QIU/ With a drain hole cut and fit with a...

That sounds like a good plan for mixing up C-41 for long term storage - going to give that a go next time. Any idea on if it works for E6 chems as well? Recently got the Tetenal 2.5L kit and I will no where near shoot enough slide film before it expires.

Sure thing...let me know when you get the negs back ( or have developed yourself ;) ) and we can sort a date.

Looking forward to seeing them, really struggle getting a good shot of Kenilworth Castle! Feel free to pop in to scan the negs, would be good to have a catch up... Agreed, had a bit of difficulty with this myself but it gets easier...

It takes me a while to 'bond' with my equipment, but it literally took a couple of hours before I felt comfortable with it. And that's all down to Steve's design... I'll waver my 'fee' in exchange for prototyping of an 8x10 Chroma errr.... Instax Wide back ;):):banana:

Think it is dropping on Thursday - and the GIF is definitely the best thing about it. (The writing, not the camera that is!!)

So, here it is, my first(ish) image taken with the Chroma. Hoping to get chance to head outdoors with it this week and do some more test shots, and hopefully not testing how it copes when dropped! What's your poison? by thedarkshed posted Sep 25, 2018 at 2:02 PM
