DESCRIPTION:
Essential Darkroom Techniques by Eastland This is the third edition of this work and it is regretfull that it has so many typos. The editors sure missed their mark on this one. The explanations on establishing the correct average film speed is labourious and confusing. Then it fails to follow through to remind the reader what that two pages was really all about. I CANNOT recommend this book and would specially warn beginners away from it.
The text is supported by tables covering development times, temperatures and chemicals for nearly all easily available film and papers.. This is a comprehensive step-by-step guide to achieving the best possible results from a modern home darkroom. Advice on designing your own darkroom, the most efficient layout and the equipment required - from basic start-up kit to more sophisticated equipment - is given in detail. The book covers subjects such as the fundamentals of black and white photography and "kitchen sink" developing, to advanced black and white processing procedures, variable contrast printing, to colour negative development and printing
