My very first darkroom experience! I turned my bathroom into a temporary darkroom and taped blackout material over the windows. It was my first time printing in any type of darkroom let alone my own homemade one. I was given all the trays, red safe light and enlarger which was an old 80’s Meopta Axomat 5a. Ye I absolutely loved the whole experience and I will be back printing soon! Please subscribe to my YouTube

Me and my buddy Baz headed to the Peak District to capture the last of the autumnal colours before they were gone and what a day we had! The autumnal colours were out of this world, phenomenal in fact. I packed my Bronica ETRSI but I also took my digital camera (Canon 5d mk3) as a lot of rain was forecast. I was very interested in capturing these beautiful reds, oranges and yellow colours on
