First colour darkroom experience!


So today I had my first experience in the colour darkroom and safe to say it was AWFUL!!! I walked in, had a heart attack, screamed at the bang the door made and then ran out crying… yes that’s right I cried! Thanks to Tim showing me what it looked like with the lights on, I finally managed to get in and do something, maybe not something good but still something none the less. I did however make many rookie mistakes. Maybe still in holiday mode J

Test strips and contact sheets seemed to be a rather pain in the back in the colour dark room! It’s more of a guessing game rather than having any real skill to be honest. It’s so hard to try and place the negatives and get them in any order to be able to produce a contact sheet so I literally have this sorry excuse of one as it was the closes attempt I managed to gain without loosing the will to live or having another break down.
