Description
I backed off the colors bit. Sorry for any retinal burning I may have unintentionally caused.
This probably won't last in my gallery anyway.

I did sometimes develop my own film - we had a pretty good darkroom at the college where I was lecturing in those days. But it's a lot of hassle if you're trying to do a decent job of each one, especially if you're doing cunning things like unsharp masking or manual dodging. I gave up after a term when I took a group of teenagers for an extracurricular course in photography - got completely fed up with it. The kids had a wild time - they used to hail me in the street for years afterwards.

Well, thats the big debate between film and digital.

I think most of the techniques I used in the darkroom, or was aware of anyone else using, have been emulated in software now. The emulation sometimes isn't all that good, at least, not in the software packages I've used - but generally the digital options are easier to use, quicker and cheaper - and much more flexible. I wouldn't consider going back to film now.

I think a lot of it has to do with the quality of the print too. I will say that the printing house dA uses is top notch. Their Lustre prints of faux darkroom images are rather impressive.
