my first self developed B&W print

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

bought it off ebay almost 10 months ago but never got around to using it..

too busy with other hobbies i guess..music..guitar..travelling

use it last week for the first time..

photos taken by mobilephone :

the setup, some trays with fixer and developer - also Durst M600
enlarger with 50mm nikon lens with easel (got the enlarger for 5 quids
only of ebay!!!!!!!)

ilford multigrade - good paper for newbies - morpheuse (akmal) recommended this

test prints to gauge exposure time
find the best setting for 8×11 paper is around 9 sec at f11

finished ones..waiting to dry..

weekend escape to Belgium

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

mid dec 07 - took the eurostar train crossing the English Channel to Brussels, Belgium to meet up with Moe and family , his father is posted there by Gomen so I’ve got to stay with them (saved some money on accomodation!)

thanks to Moe and family..appreciate your hospitality .. you have one cool family..

here are some pics from that trip:
