Steve Anchell's Darkroom cookbook
The developers in DRCBook are grouped on type and there is a good
description as to the applications of each type. Personally, I get satisfaction from mixing from scratch and it has re-kindled my photographic interests. I understand the idea of learning one film and one developer which will cover 95% of your situations. I have now gotten a few combos that are optimized for specific subjects, light contrasts, films, etc. and it has made my darkroom work more efficient and gratifying. Anchell's books are a great place to form a foundation of good, proven knowledge of the work of others. You will have a lot enjoyment in finding a good compensating soup, an accutance formula and the list goes on..... Many people are not interested in chasing these issues and simply make pictures and many are very, very good at it. I stay more stimulated when I'm on a project and fine-tuning a formula to my equipment and techniques. Each of us has different hot buttons that keep our interest but if nothing else, the book is a darn good read and a great resource.

I really would like to avoid researching the advantages and disadvantages of each.... thanks Larry Craig Schroeder craig nospam craigschroeder com |
