One of the two most wonderful times of the year

<p>Yay, my darkroom is 68 F. No heating or cooling my developer or anything. </p>

<p>When your darkroom is not in need of cooling or heating is <em>the</em> most wonderful time of the year?! :-)</p>

<p>...........but I wonder what your wash water goes down to.....</p>

<p>Well mine goes down to the drain. :-)</p>

<p>Heheheh. I remember that feeling of bliss. :) 68F is *the* perfect temp.</p>

<p>Let's just say that my B&W results got a whole lot better after I tossed the time/temperature conversions out the window and just made the developer 68 every time. Oh, buying a spot meter was another quantum leap. </p>

<p>Yes, perfect for chilling wine in the darkroom too! Glad you reminded me...gotta get that darkroom up an runnning.</p>

<p>Enjoy it while you can. In Colorado my basement darkroom was 56F in the winter. I had to have the developer tray in another larger tray with warm water or else the paper blacks never fully developed. Here in the Texas summers I need to add ice cubes to film developer to get down to 73 or 75F. The tap water is 82F or more all summer.</p>
