Description
I took this photo ages ago on my very first roll of real B&W film, It was also my very first print in a darkroom, and with the teaching of a few good friends it actually turned out. 8 second exposure, and is unmanipulated.Related content

Hey, that's pretty awesome for your first roll and first dark room print O_o
The contrast seems about right and your composition is compelling. Good work
Did you do any other work in the dark room, or just this?

I did somewhere around 20 prints and maybe 4 or 5 rolls of film, unfortuantly I lost access to the darkroom when I left school though and have been shooting the store bought black and white film since (that can be developed at any store). I really enjoy true B&W though and wish I had the money to do it, but times are changeing and it seems a slide scanner may be the way to go instead.

If I could afford a slide scanner, I'd be happy 
Good luck in your ventures, whatever they wind up being.

Yes a digi slr would be nice but the scanner is still cheaper and the quality is better... the color and quality are just still not up to standards of film yet... when they come out with a full 35 mm sensor and are then theoretically able to use film lenses, etc... I will consider the digi slrs... once their price after all that comes down a little, haha. But I heard about them useing digital backings for large format cameras and coming up with some amazing shots... that would be interesting to check out if you had an extra 100 grand laying around... the only downside is after every shot they had to let it download for a couple hours because each shot was somewhere in the area of 120 gigabytes. But then, the prints they were making were the size of a wall, so its expected.
