I am a new convert to film. I have a complete digital set up but film was calling out to me. I use my digital gear to take product shots of the violins I make so I can easily send the to my customers.
I am going to try my hand at processing my own film as well.

Hello from Richmond Va. I do like to use a darkroom, but one day I'll get me a digital camera(Maybe!).

Welcome to APUG from western Massachusetts. APUG is a great resource for those just starting out in film.

Well, I for one can't wait to see a picture of those violins! What a grand process that must be! Do you have a website?

Welcome to the wonderful world of film. If you have the patience to make a violin, you'll love the art of shooting and processing film. You live in such a photogenic area too! I have a sister that lives in Athens and whenever I visit her I always spend at least a day shooting in Monroe. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your first shots, get to it!

Thanks for the welcome! I do have a website, just Google Dudley Violins. You can see my violin photos. I have to tell you they were all made with a Nikon digital camera. Soon I hope to have some of my F100 shots post there too!

On eBay I have bought film processing equipment, chemicals, trays, and an enlarger with a Schneider f/1.9 50mm lens all for less than $100.00! I figure even if I find out I would rather send my film out to a lab, I can re-coup my giant investment!!!

Welcome from Ontario Canada. As Tori said the patience to build a violin will definitely help you in processing film and do your printing in the darkroom. cheers

Hello... good to see someone else from Georgia with darkroom and violin interests! I am new to this forum too but have been active in large format for nearly fifty years. Your violins are beautiful and certainly deserve capturing on film!
