Back in the wet darkroom

 Got in another 4 hours printing 5x7 and 8x10 negatives today.

Scanning 4x5 negatives with the Epson V850

 I have to say, with the new Epson glass film holders, they scan pretty sharp, and the software is way easier to use.

Scanning negatives on the IMACON

 

I have not done much scanning on the WU IMACON flex tight scanner in a while. I have an Epson V850 and have been using that. I was interested in comparing the two scanners and although the IMACON makes crazy sharp scans there were for me, lots of issues with excessively contrasty scans.

Printing the 8x10's

 

After three year being away from the darkroom, I got in a 4 hour session making final prints off my 8x10 negs of the past two summers studio portrait work.

Last of the portrait printing

All mouse damaged artwork including a bunch of framed works and canvas murals. The mice have the ability to get into everything.

Winter is time for closing the studio down ad getting to those projects you just never have time for, like cleaning out all the mouse damage from the summer. spent the day in this one corner.
