How Darkroom Equipment And Film Photography Works

By Amy Davis


Photography is an art that has been around for so many years. For top quality results the artist, in this case the photographer needs to have the right equipment. Anyone who has embarked on an artistic effort would know that it equipment are expensive. But these people could not care less, after all it is an investment for the betterment of their craft.

Photography with film are probably the most difficult to do, considering the process for developing the photos are quite tasking. Darkroom equipment are quite pricey if you want the best quality. But even for amateurs it can still cost. The best part is the novelty of the whole process and, of course, the experience.

There are many good reasons that film photography has been making a comeback lately. The reason could be preserving the art itself. With the number of digital software and applications, there would be little need to learn how to manually produce certain filters and effects that you want for certain photos.

This helps you realize that image development really is no easy feat. Building you own darkroom takes, study, precision and discipline, again, just as all forms of art. Being to practice the post production process in a more organic and rooted way can greatly help you appreciate the making of digital software that help manipulate photos become more convenient.

First you need a water supply. Balancing temperatures is the key to getting the pictures to come out right. While this can be rather expensive, if you are an amateur your would do well to learn how to be attentive to temperatures instead.

The most obvious reason for this being called a darkroom is how no light should seep in. Now, this could also mean that there would be no fresh air that gets in the room too. Good ventilation is vital for a place like this. A way to do this is to cut a whole from the outside for air to come in from and then cut a hole on the inside. This can be viewed as the same way a chimney works. The brightness may not be able to come in, but air surely does.

The basic principle of such a place is that no light should come in. Now, if you shut all possible light sources, it also means that ventilation would also be a bit tricky. What usually happens is that, a chimney like structure is placed on the side of the wall. So while no brightness can go inside, air can still flow through.

While it may be called a darkroom, you would still need ordinary white florescent lighting because who can clean up any mess when you can't see anything, right. This is needed for choosing which negatives you would want to develop, inspecting finished print and basically seeing what is going on around you once you are done with staying in perpetual darkness.

It has already been established that zero lightning makes sure that development comes out perfectly, as you would have pictured it while taking the shot. Enlarger lights are there to make sure that you see every detail in your print. Note that during the whole process, temperature inside should be between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, else it may also ruin the photo.
