  1. I took a book out an out of town library some time ago, I can't

    remember the title, and I have not been able to find this book

    anywhere on the internet! The library did not keep records of books

    I had taken out, only those that were overdue. Anywho, What I do

    remember is a bronze-ish color on a large (roughly 9x11) paperback

    book with the title and some toned images on the front. The book was

    on different photographic processes and toners. Each different

    process had it's own section (platinum, salt, cyanotype, etc). Each

    toner also had it's own section as well as one or more images to show

    the toner's effect. There were also sections on combined toners

    (selenium/blue, green/sepia, etc). The last pages of the book had

    works by both authors. One of the authors liked to work with only

    the bodies of his models by clothing their faces and some body parts

    in black against a black background. These are all the important

    details I can remember.

    I know this sounds so vague, but I'm hope there is someone out there

    knows the book I am speaking of.

    help!

  2. I've been reading a lot of the pushing threads lately, and I have

    not, as of yet, pushed a roll of film.

    My question is this:

    Say you have a 24 exposure roll of film, and you go out and take 12

    shots in the daytime in good light, and then you go out at night,

    bump the EI rating up a considerable amount, and take the last 12

    shots with the intention of pushing the film. When you actually

    develop the film, how do you do it? If you develop long enough for

    the night pictures to come out, won't it hurt the quality of the

    shots taken in the daytime?<br>

    Please help and thank you,<br>

  3. Thanks guys. I will check into those ideas

    <br>

    kl ix - I could do my enlarging and such in my basement, but it would be a hassle and a nuisance to the others living here if I were to perpetually come up from the basement run upstairs, take control of the bathroom, etc... I would be much more convenient, if I can get it to work, to have everything in my basement.<br>

    Again, thanks to everyone for their responses. Surely this has been answered in form or another, and though I couldn't find an answer when I searched, it's nice to know that I won't get bashed for asking a question that some may deem silly.<br>

    Take care,<br>

  4. Hello,

    I'm building a darkroom in my basement and I have everything right

    except the water source/sink. Here's the problem: there is a

    running water source in my basement, but I rent from this apartment,

    and since I don't own it, I am unable to make modifications to the

    pipes and such. Right now the best idea I have is to run upstairs 2

    floors to my bathtub to wash the pictures, but I'm hoping perhaps

    someone else has run into this problem and come up with a solution.

    Please post with any ideas.<p>

    Thank you so very much,<p>

  5. Thanks for the responses, guys. I've developed only about 15 rolls of B&W film, but have never seemed to run into this problem before. It's nice to be able to post here and find people who are helpful, rather than people who will just shoot you down for sounding foolish.

    Regarding cutting corners: I thought about this a long time ago because it seemed to make sense for putting the negatives into sleeves, but then it must have slipped my mind because I haven't done it since. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

    Toodles,

    Andrew

  6. Hello and please help!

    I just developed my first roll of Ilford HP5 and many of the

    negatives came out with a crescent shaped mark on them which, of

    course, ruins the picture. I have never run into this problem

    before with developing film. Can someone please tell me what causes

    this and how to prevent it from happening in the future?

    Thanks very much,

    Andrew
