Darkroom

Is it hard to build your own darkroom? Any thoughts?

A darkroom is your bathroom with gaffers tape holding the sheet of cardboard over your window.

Haha! What about the walls? Do I have to paint them black?

white paint doesnt produce light, only reflects it. as long as there is no light your good.

Thanks man! Orange bulb?

A safe light may be orange, but be sure it is a safe light for a darkroom, not just any orange bulb.

Thanks. How much does the enlarger go for?

All my darkrooms were painted light in color to enhance whatever light I was using.
Enlargers are readily available on craigs list for a reasonable price, I would recommend a enlarger with a dichroic head as you will find it useful in the future.
