 racking my brain for an idea and came up with a darkroom set up that I have that I've never gotten rid of. Set it up in my workshop still had a negative in the enlarger, pulled out tubs, chemicals, paper, timer and grain focus. Like the concept a lot but it's dark so don't expect a great score. Could have made it brighter but then it wouldn't feel real. More red lights could have helped but couldn't find my old red bulb.

iPhone provides the red light, enlarger and a little white light from my basement provide the rest. Camera on tripod with 12 second timer, full manual for everything. 6 second exposure at 2.8 ISO400.

Could have shot this without me in it and just the items but not good with still life set ups.

Edited this at night with low light around me, looking at it at full daylight it's darker and harder to read. My tendency to go with darker images doesn't help me.

Was hoping to get a nostalgic feeling going with a darkroom set up. I can smell the process.

Not anymore, but pulling it out made me think about it, learned how to develop in college and have had the equipment for many years
