I can't seem to sleep, I'm all anxious about being able to develop my own pictures tomorrow, it'll be badass. Already gotten my negatives, just have to enlarge them and whatnot.

Will be fun.

HI I'M GEORGE ZIMMER

[glossy]

developing is good fun

one time, we had maybe ~5 people in the darkroom (including our teacher), and we forgot to turn the fan on. after about 30-40 minutes of baking in developing fumes, someone walks in and turns on the fan... we were all gigglin' mad.

Yeah, deveveloping owns. Try and do stupid stuff like put your hand in the way of the developer to block light or develop two negatives on one piece of photo paper.

i love that technique/whatever where you make photos out of no negatives, but simply objects placed on paper. did some cool things with that, especially when you combine it with negative photos, you can come up with some some seriously cool stuff

Man, this is harder than I thought.

Got 3 pictures developed (kinda).

1st one, I didn't think to open the paper holder, so it's all blurry because the paper was bent (lol)

2nd, I didn't expose it under the enlarger for long enough, and
the white border was all off-center

3rd came out partly ok, up until I put it in the fixer tray, some peniswhores layed theirs on top of mine, so there's big paper-shaped parts where it's lighter than the rest of the picture. :

feathers are amazing to do that with.

the ones that are all dodgy end up being the best ones imo

the borders are a bitch. what we used to do is have three or four of the "paper holders" (i have no idea what they were called, either), get them perfect for the dimentions of paper that most of us used, then glue+tape them into that place, and use them. it [almost] never moves out of place, so there's no fucking around and you can just get your paper in there and get working.


i miss photography , i'd set up a darkroom here at home if all the chemicals and equipment wasn't so expensive :\

agreed. here's one that happened by accident, i think it turned out nicely:


not that it has any actual artistic merit, but i like it. I don't have any of my other stuff here unfortunately, it's all back at school still.

[Postal]

any other uploaded stuff glossy?

[phantasmagoria]

That's class glossy,

I've got a book full of them, i did a module at a level in photography on my art course, but i've no scanner and i'm not entirely sure where the book is either.
