[pinhole-discussion] Darkroom sink question
I hope this is not out of place here. Forgive me if it is.. I've just built a darkroom and a new sink. It's 8 foot x 22 inches. I want to build some wooden strips/runners to line the bottom so the trays are off the bottom and allow the water and chemicals to flow through to the drain. What is a good wood selection and building technique for this? BTY, thanks to all who have responded to my posts in this forum. It's wonderful to have such a knowledgeable group of people as a resource. Thanks Greg
[pinhole-discussion] Hudson Valley (and other) Events
Hi Z, If there is not an event close to you, you might be interested in setting one up! It does not need to be a workshop, lecture or something formal. Here's a quote from the WPPD Workshop Planning Guide: a social event could simply be getting together with a like minded bunch of tiny aperture photographers to view each other’s work, exchange ideas, or join in on a WPPD photo expedition. If you're interested and willing to be the contact person, choose a time and place to meet, and create an event listing on the Pinhole Day site http://www.pinholeday.org/participate/add_event.php. Use the forum event type, which is there for social and similar events. The elusive Hudson Valley pinholers might jump at the chance of a WPPD photo expedition. The new group could even have its own exhibit as part of WPPD. Read on... This is a little old new to the list, but certainly bears repeating: ~ One new feature for the WPPD 2002 online exhibit is a robust search capability. You will be able to select a set of images by name, geographic area or group. The group selection is based on events posted to the WPPD Related Events page. If you are organizing a WPPD related workshop, lecture or other public event, be sure to add your workshop to the Pinhole Day Related Events Page at http://www.pinholeday.org/participate/events.php. TEACHERS: if you are planning a WPPD activity with your class, please contact me at events.coordina...@pinholeday.org. Let me know the name of your school and class, where you're located, etc. and your class can be listed in the group selection for the WPPD exhibit. ~ If I can help in any way, please let me know.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Paper Negative Developers?

However, in looking at a Kodak Dataguide, Dektol will develope 120 sheets of paper while D76 will develope approx. 16 8x10 sheets of film. So the question is how many sheets of paper will a gallon of D76 develope? How do you tell when the developer is near exhaustion? Or would it be best to use it as a one shot developer? You should always use developer for your negative as one-shot (unless it is specifically designed for replenishment). Whereas you can always make another print, if you screw up your negative with inadequate chemistry, you're pretty much out of luck. Is there some way of 'taming' dektol, so it gives a less contrasty neg? Of course, just increase the dilution. I use a dilute version of Dektol (1+10 to 1+20, depending upon the scene) when processing halftone film.

I know this is a really novice question, but sould someone help? The last picture I tried indoors came out totally overexposed. I was using TMax 100 film and I exposed for 1 minute which I thought might not be long enough, but it was too long.
