There's much more to processing your films into negatives
than simply dropping them in chemicals! Learn the techniques
needed to start manipulating your images straight from the
camera.

“A
very easy to understand practical workshop. There is so much more
to this simple process than I realised. Thanks!”
Ellie, 2004 |
During
this darkroom lesson you will learn how to process negatives. You
will investigate how to creatively manipulate them using push or pull
processing techniques, discovering what can be achieved with contrast
and explore the subtle arts of chemicals and dilutions to alter the
look of your final printed photographs. You will learn how to use
the charts and instructions on film packaging to achieve the result
you want.
Please see the Film
Processing Course Modules for more details.
