I Love Old Cameras

It’s been a goal of mine for years to have a home darkroom. I was finally able to find a place to set one up! It’s in a part of my attic, so it’s 147 degrees, but I still love it 😊

Very nice. Where are you? Do you need any equipment? I've got lots to get rid of.

@OllyCat12 it isvan important part of the system. Do you have a good local photo shop to help you?

OllyCat12 · 31-35, F

I’ve already developed several prints with it. It works fine. But in case I need help, yes, I do have a shop I can go to:) @samueltyler2

@OllyCat12 the normal chemical temperature is 68. How do you keep it cool?

OllyCat12 · 31-35, F

I used it in my bathroom before as a temporary space. Much cooler. I haven’t used it in the new setup. I’m waiting till it gets colder @samueltyler2
