SB1 - Dark room Introduction

To learn how to properly use the dark room I spent the day doing an introduction. In this I learnt how to put the film into the equipment within a pitch black room. I also learnt how develop Black & white film, this involved using developer for the set period of time mine was 16mins at the correct temperature. You then use a stabiliser and rinse the rest out. I was also shown how to development a contact sheet and individual images including how the chemicals work safety precautions. I learnt how to test the exposure with a test strip. From this I could then create photograms whenever I liked.
