Are you sure you diluted your chemicals correctly? What chemicals are you using? If the smell is so strong you can't stand to be in the room, there's probably a problem.

I tried playing with my pinhole again this weekend. I set up a mini-darkroom in my bathroom, went outside with the cameras, took my shot, and went back inside to see what I had. Unfortunately, that was when it all went downhill. I had the fan running in the bathroom, but apparently it doesn't actually pull out odor. I walked in, and nearly fell over from the chemical smell. I thought that as long as i had everything set up, I may as well just try to work quickly and make these two prints. At about 1 1/2 minutes into development, black spots were dancing in front of my eyes. Without thinking, I reeled back, opened the door, and then just stood there, taking in air. Unfortunately, this let in a good amount of white light. The prints went black. :( Back to square one. I need to figure out this ventilation thing. I can honestly say at this point that pinhole looks like too much fun not to tinker with on a regular basis. -----Original Message----- From: ch...@ellingerphoto.com [mailto:ch...@ellingerphoto.com] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 9:04 AM To: Rauch, Shelley Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] new to list/pinhole photography Shelly, Many of your quesitons are answered here: http://www.pinholephotography.com.au/Theory/theory.html Good luck!
