Photography Question

Tell us about your Darkroom


Well, got mine back up and running after about a three year hiatus. I have a walk-in closet off my bedroom that measures 4 feet by 12 feet. There is a window that faces west and catches brilliant afternoon sun. Covered that with an old bed sheet, dark red, folded over three times and stapled into place. I did a paper fogging strip. Up to 10 minutes and no affect at all. And it acts as an awesome room-wide safelight in the day.

So, My enlargers are set up in here for printing. I have a Beseler 57MB (Fat Man) and a Fujimoto Lucky 60M (Little Boy) for 135 and 120 roll film negs.

The wet side is through the third door into my bedroom (being closet, hall...), the upstairs bathroom. Plenty of room for trays to process up to 11x14 with facility.

So, tell me about your darkroom and tell us your secrets.
