Dark Rooms and Digital Photography

Posted by Elite Internet Technologies on February 22nd, 2016

Over time, digital cameras have begun to take the place of film. They are often easier to use, allow you to look at the photos you have just taken and can come with
built-in zoom, to make the process of zooming in much easier. Still, some photographers prefer film, which means that there is still a need for dark rooms.

Turning Images Into Reality

No matter what kind of film cameras you are using and what you are using them for, you will eventually need to develop the film. Whether you are using fashion
photography cameras or cameras that are meant for nature photography, they all use film negatives, which eventually need to be put through a process in a dark room to
be developed.

The name "dark room" comes from the need for a room that film is being developed in to be devoid of light entirely. This protects the negatives from exposure to
unwanted light. In the dark room, there are various dark room supplies that help to make sure the film is developed properly.

The Essential Equipment Found In a Dark Room

Some of the common equipment found in every dark room are:

Printing Tongs – These are used to move the photography paper through the solution. This process cannot be done by hand. The tongs are made of stainless steel to
protect them from the effects of the chemicals.

Funnels And Bottles – The bottles used in photography rooms are made mostly of glass or plastic.

Thermometer and Easel- The easel is used to hold the printing paper's unexposed part flat. The thermometer measures the temperature of the solution and detects any
anomalies.

Whether you choose to go with film or digital, you want to make sure you get the best camera available. www.whcamera.com is a great place to find both film and digital
