I’m glad to have found this place full of so much information and accumulated knowledge.
I am an amateur photographer returning to film after using digital camera for 20 years. At that time I worked with 4x5 and 8x10 formats in black and white. I printed many of those in pt/pd.
I lost darkroom space in 2002 and I switched to digital. Pure digital always felt lacking to me because of the lack of any hands on process. I also missed working with the pinhole camera. So, having only pinhole cameras, I have returned to using them.
I load my film after dark with all house lights off.
I am using a Stearman SP-645 developing tank which I can then process in the daylight. I have had excellent results with this method.
To make prints. I have been using a scanned image printed with an Epson pro-310 using archival paper and inks.
I’ve decided to go back to pure analog with an “alternative process” and sun printing using Cyanotype.
This is something I can do. I have room in my bathroom to coat paper.
I will be working on that.
Thanks for reading!
