making a photography darkroom
Eldest daughter (14) is very much getting into photography. Digital of
course, but she likes the idea of having a play with film. Someone on the local Freecycle was offering a load of darkroom gear, which I've acquired. And I've rooted out my old film SLR. So now need to construct some sort of darkroom space. Never had one myself, though did do a little bit a few times with a friend many moons ago. But' I'm pretty sure plenty of folks here have done such things in the past. So any pointers/suggestions for setting it up are welcome. something at least semi permanent would be preferable I think, and we have a few places that might be suitable. What is the essentials, what would be nice. don't want to spend to much money as it might be a bit of a flash in the pan. One possibility is the cellar - a bit damp, but ok plenty of space,- has power, but no water or drainage. There a few different spaces down there and only one small window in a light well that doesn't really do anything much except provide a little ventilation, so making it dark would be easy. Another thought is that we have a dressing room that isn't really properly used. We I could use one end of that. It has two entrances, so I could partition one end off with black plastic say - no window at that end (power, accessible drainage and water. We do have plans to create an en suite bathroom, and a separate storage room with a a partition wall across dividing the room, so could potentially do the partition wall now anyway. Thanks. -- Chris French |
