A Useful Tool To Have In The Darkroom
Once you have a roll of film developed, dry, cut, and ready to use you can start your printing. The first thing you need to do is select a frame on the strip of negatives you would like to print. Remember that since the film will be in negative format, the brighter areas in the negative will be the dark or shadowy areas in the print. A frame, which appears to have many dark areas or many bright areas, is likely to be under or over exposed.
One recommendation is to bracket your shots when you shoot your roll of film, so you will have the choice of picking one of three exposures. When you have all your film cut into about five frames per strip, it is advisable to keep them safe in an archival film sleeve. Switch off the main light and switch on the infrared; do not switch on any other light until it is safe to do so.
Remove the strip of film with the frame you want to print and place it in the film holder shiny side up. The Film holder is placed above the lens of the enlarger. Replace the film holder with the film back into the slot in the enlarger. Switch on the enlarger; this will put on a light, which projects the light through a piece of convex glass, through the film to project the film onto the flat tray where the easel for holding the paper should be placed.
You can focus and adjust the size of the print by raising or lowering the enlarger with two knobs usually on the right side of the enlarger (one for moving the enlarger up and down, the other for fine focussing). A useful tool to have in the darkroom is a focus-finder; they help to focus the negative for sharpness, though it is quite possible to focus by eye once great care and careful movements are used. The easiest way to focus is by opening up the lens to its maximum aperture (just like you do with your camera) to allow the most light in for ease of focus as the image will be much brighter and easier to see.

Darkroom $19.95 Darkroom: A Memoir in Black and White is an arresting and moving personal story about childhood, race, and identity in the American South, rendered in stunning illustrations by the author, Lila Quintero Weaver.   In 1961, when Lila was five, she and her family emigrated from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Marion, Alabama, in the heart of Alabama’s Black Belt. As educated, middle-class Latino immigrants in a region that was defined by segregation, the Quinteros occupied a privileged vantage from which to view the racially charged culture they inhabited. Weaver and her family were firsthand witnesses to key moments in the civil rights movement.  But Darkroom is her personal story as well: chronicling what it was like being a Latina girl in the Jim Crow South, struggling to understand both a foreign country and the horrors of our nation’s race relations. Weaver, who was neither black nor white, observed very early on the inequalities in the American culture, with its blonde and blue-eyed feminine ideal. Throughout her life, Lila has struggled to find her place in this society and fought against the discrimination around her. |
