Pictures of You

Today I had a good darkroom session, the first time I have been in for quite a while. 3 films processed (varying degrees of success, but they were always going to be test films as they were taken on a new (to me) camera and system which needs a little more tweaking yet. The X-Bron panoramics from the home made back were, however, quite good! Just a little more exposure time and I think we will be there!

I also got my first print that I am really pleased with. A little more tweaking is required, but as it stands (and given I had not intended to do any printing today really) this is a good place to have reached!

Yes - it isn’t quite straight! Next time…. I only had time for a couple of variations and those were mostly trying different paper and getting my exposure times right on the englarger (plus burning the sky in)
