Virtual Darkroom Visit
Come and have a virtual visit to my new “dark room.” You’ll see that it isn’t really dark. Many alternative process printing techniques can by done in low light as long as ultraviolet light is excluded. You’ll see yellow curtains on my windows for that reason. Yellow is good at blocking uv light. I’ll update this page with additional photos and videos as I work in my new space.
Moving to a new house gave me the opportunity to build a spacious sink for my photography workspace. This is a timelapse of its construction.
Coating watercolour paper with the platinum/palladium solution. When it is dry it will be sensitive to ultraviolet light.
After exposing the coated paper and the negative to ultraviolet light the print is developed and then washed. Here you can see the action of the developer.
