Dark Room Photography

[day tripper]

Share it if you've got it. I've been waiting for this forum!! I'm so excited to share my work and see others' work, and we can critique! :D So, if anyone else takes B&W photos and processes them (not at wal-mart or walgreens), post here!

Here's some of my work:

this may take a couple posts...

and the hideous white specks on the photos are from the scanner, unfortunately.

Wow, fantastic!!!!!!! That one of your face is awesome, so raw yet so beautiful! Great work!

You have wicked long toes too :D lol

Ive always wanted to learn how to process film, work in a dark room. Always gives me flashes of a scary movie though,lol

That stair well is wicked!!

[Unkle_John]

Those are awesome shots!
It reminds me of my darkroom photo classes. Man I loved it, but I hated the smell of the chemicals on my hands. You mind if I post mine (i don't have much) here?

Of course! That's why I made this thread. And, those ARE my assignments from my first photo lab class (that's why some carry the same theme-self portrait, light/shadows, cemetery, double exposure). My roommate had a scanner, but she moved, so I can't upload anymore until I can get my hands on one.

And thanks Libra, now I'm even more self conscious about my feet!! j/k...but my toes do look pretty long in that photo, haha!

[LIBRA]

Whos looking at your feet with a gorgeous face like that ;)

You have cute feets anyways I was just picken cause my toes are like lil mini tootsie rolls LOL

[day tripper]

come on Unkle, let's see them!

[Unkle_John]

Eh.. I'm still looking for them. I know they are here somewhere.

[PEACE FROG]

Awesome! I wish I was doing something artistic like that. David lynch.

[day tripper]

So, I finally got a new scanner!!!

so, now I can post more work (when I stop being such a lazyass, and get in that kitchen and make some damned prints!)

that picture on pg 1 with the shadow and the sandaled feet of the photographer gave me an idea. What if you gave a full shadow a pair of feet. Or feet and hands. Oh wait I know, a shadow with one foot on top of the other and out stretched hands done stigmata style. ;)

hmmm....doesn't sound easy. I'd have to put the camera on a tripod, but hide the tripod's shadow in my shadow, while using the self-timer. Unless I could obtain a small ladder, and a tripod that raises well over 5'8"...this could be impossible. I'll think of something, though...just for you. and it'll eventually get posted. I may even do it tomorrow; who knows?

nice photos! I have a few from my highschool photo shop, that i'd love to share.

the depth and contrast in your photos is really nice and I really like your layers. . . and we have a toe ring on the same toe! oh and my toes are super long too, be proud of your monkey toes, someday you could learn how to peel a banana with them :p

[TreeLove]

how do you post pictures?:(

[Unkle_John]
