Blogging got a bit more aggravating while I was away...

But in other news I am edging back into the kitchen-darkroom. This is a (not very good) photo from the Glasgow 10k Women’s Race 2018, newly scanned this afternoon. From it I learn:
- no meter is better than a dodgy meter, (the auld Nikon F’s meter never worked properly);
- just forget about expired film, too hit-and-miss, and no cheaper;
- settle down with Kodak Tmax 400 for medium format, and Kentmere for 35mm, get to know them both;
- ID11 is NOT the only developer;
- one can only learn so much in a busy darkroom;
- it should be possible to digitise even 35mm contact prints, to the extent that not-very-good negatives will be revealed to the world for what they are, so get a grip;
- the point is: have fun.
