This list below is the people whose photos I love the best. Instagram and flickr have the very best photos I love and I always follow my friends below for new pictures shots and advice. I am an amateur photographer and I just use my mobile phone for now but I am going to study photography next year and I hope to become as good a photographer as the people I really admire. Wish me good luck !
I first started out in photography with a Kodak film camera. My friend had a darkroom and we would mix up the chemicals and pour them into the trays ander the glow of a red light. It was like magic to see the negative film slowly reveal the tiny details of the shots and then after the timer sounded we would transfer the developed negatives into the fixer solution. Like in high school chemistry lab class, I can still vividly recall those acrid chemical smells.
Maia Andreasen's note for all amatuer dabblers in photographic film development and use other chemicals: Use protection!
The hatters of olden days, who used heavy mercury liquid metal to shape the bowls of the hats they made, and which ultimately would give them all brain damage from the mercury metal vapour didnt know the mercury was toxic. They often became "mad as a hatter" from industrial exposure to mercury.
Like wise Beethoven became deaf from lead poisoning without knowing that lead was toxic to nerves and the brain. What a disaster!
Be careful to have adequate ventilation of your darkroom to avoid the fumes from the toxic chemicals you use and use eye and face protection also gloves when handling the trays and the liquids.
So to continue, my friend also had a photographic enlarger, so first we would make contact prints, (where, to make prints the same size as the tiny developed film images,) we would place the developed photographic film over the print paper and then expose it to a white light globe for a varaiable number of seconds,
After "fixing" the prints and checking out the prints to choose any "good" shots we would then load the negative film into the enlarger and get the right focus onto the print paper with the image the correct size for the print. Then we would place the print paper on the enlarger target base and switch on the lamp in the enlarger for the predetermined time to expose the print paper. Then would follow the fixing again with a tray of fixer solution to stabilise the print against any further light reactions.
We would hang the prints up to dry and try to visualise the results in the red light allowed in the developing room, before we could take them oout to see them in daylight.
This was how it was done before Santa Claus provided Maia Andreasen with her first digital camera. This was an Olympic brand with a resolution of 2 megapixels.
