New to darkroom printing? Boy, are you in for a treat! Darkroom printing is one of the most addictive elements of photography and is a whole universe unto itself. Masters like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston have shown us that taking the picture is just the first step of a journey. From developing through to printing, a negative has limitless possibilities in the darkroom and it’s all up to your imagination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are numerous darkroom printing guides and tutorials all over the web. Most darkroom supplies manufacturers have their own guides and tutorials, like this one<\/a> by Fotospeed or this Ilford beginner’s guide<\/a>. There are also great books on the subject, like Ansel Adams’ venerable The Print<\/a>, Anchell’s The Variable Contrast Printing Manual<\/a> and the more contemporary Way Beyond Monochrome<\/a>. If you’ve never printed or seen others print before, this video by Ilford might help shed some light on the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
