Making You own pictures in the Darkroom

Developing Paper Pictures (Paper negative)

It  easy just take a look at this picture. I have my Perch-Pinhole came -- with a picture in it (Only open it in darkroom light) A box with developer, a box with stop-bath and a box with fixer.

The developer is a RODALON for Agfa , the stop-bath is normal Acid, and fixer is from  TETENAL, but you can use your favorite cemicals.

Al is put on top of a pies of wood-plate and that is put on top of my toilet !!!Tell the family not to use the bathroom for the next 2-3 hours !!!     And now is just to put out the normal light, and put on the darkroom light and take the taken picture out of the Can and develop it.

But essential is NOT DUST and cleanness, cleanness and cleanness. And take your time. Do not force anything.

AND good luck -- after 10-20 pictures you will get one witch is OK !!!!

 

Developing  Negative Films (B/H)

 

All you need is a developing tank and a dark.. very dark room. And some chemicals  !
But here is what I use:
A developing tank from Patterson -- for many different film sizes ---- and a 'daarkroom' bag.
Of course it is a problem to load the exposed film without seeing what you are doing. But training with a used film will solve that problem

Here are the chemicals I used

And here are the links til AGFA and

AGFA                TETENAL

 

And when the papernegative or the B/W negativ  is finished .... just use a scanner to scan and work with your pinholepicture. I use a simple Canon scanner for papernagatives and a filmscanner for 'normal' negatives.
