What's a Darkroom? 📸
A darkroom is a super cool, pitch-dark place where photographers make their film photos come to life using special chemicals. No light allowed, or it'll ruin the surprise!
📷 Darkroom Must-Haves for Beginners 🎞️
You'll need some key gear like a machine that makes pics bigger (enlarger), containers for developing (trays), special mixtures to make your photos appear (chemicals), a red light so you don't ruin your film (safelight), and a clock to count the right photo-making time (timer). Each piece is super important to turn your film into cool photographs!
How Photos are Made 📸
Making a photo happen in steps: developing (making the picture appear), stopping (halting development), fixing (making the image last), and washing (cleaning chemicals off). Get the timing and order right for a great photo! 🕒✨
How Photos are Printed 🖨️📸
Once the film is developed, its image is shone onto special photo paper. That paper is treated with chemicals just like the film, making the picture appear.
Stay Safe in the Photo Lab 📸
Make sure the room has fresh air flowing 🌬️. Always wear gloves 🧤 and safety glasses 👓 when using chemicals. Have a first-aid kit 🚑 and fire extinguisher 🧯 ready just in case!
