[QUOTE="emoxley, post: 67143, member: 8006"] I loved darkroom work. That's the one thing about the old days that I miss. If I had somewhere to setup a darkroom, I'd buy the stuff to do it. I see the equipment on Craig's List all the time. You can get a whole darkroom setup for about $200 on CL. Experimenting was fun then too. Stuff like jumping the ASA (ISO), developing the film at warmer temps, and rinsing at colder temps (would make the emulsion crack, and have some strange effects), doing solarizations, burning in and dodging, etc. You can do this stuff in Photoshop, but doing it in a darkroom, by hand, was more fun. During developing of prints, you could stain it with coffee or tea, to get an old sepia tone effect. All kinds of tricks, for all kinds of effects, that I can't remember right now. I also miss the smell of the darkroom................... :D [/QUOTE]
