My dark Room Images

Dark Room Below I have shown examples of how I have started creating my darkroom images using a film camera up until completion.  Equipment used developing from Resin & Fibre based paper Enlarger for resin start from grade 3 Filter paper work from grade 2 Firstly it is best to create a contact sheet, this will allow us to see what exposure time is best used. From the film strip, place images in glass responder and use focus to create sharpness. Once the correct focus is created I used a piece of black card to cover approx 3 -4 inches of the image projection in order to see what best exposure was required. A piece of light sensitive paper is then placed in position and exposure time then begins. Each exposure time was then limited to 5 seconds each. From that I could guesstimate what my required exposure time would be. thus was repeated x3 for each Image. Differences between paper types are:- Resin paper is generally thinner than fibre. It usually weights around 190gsm. The paper is

Image Capture & Output Metering for film ''In general, you do not want to underexpose film. In fact, it’s best to err on the side of overexposure–especially when shooting with colour negative film and B&W film, which both have very good exposure. Underexposing your photo will result in more grain, flat tones, and a lack of shadow detail.  To avoid underexposing your film, avoid metering for the highlights which are the brightest part of the image. Instead, try metering for either the mid-tones or the shadows'' Copy and pasted from  the dark room write about... 18% Refelctance Grey Card Tricky Metering Options and Solutions The Grey Scale Value In any grey scale image, each image has pixels with the value of 0-255. Zero is black and 255 is white. All the numerical in between are. shades of grey. So the closer to 0 they are the darker the shade of grey becomes and the closer to 255 they are the lighter the shade of grey becomes. This value is the amount of light a
