finally started making prints

[kadath]

Finally got an enlarger and started making my first prints, using the Ilford printing guide. I've attached a couple of shots from the first run. I haven't tried any dodging and burning yet, but I kind of like the standard print. Definately looks a lot better than my negative scans.

It's fun as hell printing yourself! I'll never go back .

There will be no going back now. Maybe try two prints at half a grade then one grade more and see what you think?

My best piece of advice will be to not be afraid to come back to a printed negative in future to see what else you can do with it.

Congrats. The more you print, the better it gets.

I will try messing around with contrast more next time, but I currently like fairly low contrast pictures.
