A shack in the forest…
As I’m at the point where I can start making some wet darkroom prints I have started sorting out a few negs, I think this is a good contender. Its an image of Darling Range Ghostgums, Canon AE1 ƒ1.8 Ilford HP5 developed in LC29… I’m going to start with postcard size prints then see how […]
