My own dark room

This weekend I got a lot of dark room supplies from friends (thanks Ton & Q!). Monday I bought the necessary liquids, and yesterday I developed my very first photo. As soon as I saw the photo appear on the paper I fell in love with the process. Of course I wasn’t satisfied with the first result, so immediately I started playing around with dodging and burning. It was was easier than I expected, and very satisfying!

Right now my “dark room” is my bathroom, but I plan on changing that in a couple of weeks. We’re (still) renovating our attic, and when that’s done I’ll build a proper dark room there.
