Whoooopeeee!

Are you using a digital large format back, or has the big stuff gone the
way of the darkroom?

I have to say I'm waiting for the time and budget to get my darkroom
going again. Oh, there's nothing much to film developing, but I've never
stopped feeling the magical experience of a black & white print start to
become visible in the developer.

If you really want to get nostalgic.....I remember my Father placing prints
out in the sun to develop them !!! :-))

That was working with POP (printing out paper) and it wasn't my dad doing the
printing. (sigh)

If I remember correctly, they ended up with a brown and white finish. ?

The ones I did were blue and white. I used large format negatives in
contact with a paper I made myself -- don't remember the exact formula,
but the dark agent was ferric ferricyanide.

Yes.,they were brown and would fade in time. I rinsed them in a plain 5%
Sodium Thiosulfate solution and they turned green and became permanent.
