Here’s listicle #2 for this year, and it’s 100% focused on darkroom alchemy. From bringing back Kodachrome (development, that is!), to RA-4 color printing, to monobath developers, lith printing and…the list goes on.
Darkroom and darkroom-related work continues to increase through our community as more and more photographers find them selves coming back to traditional film development and printing, or discover it for the first time.
Here are the ten most popular you and the rest of the community enjoyed reading this year. For the rest, head on over to read everything else filed under darkroom here on EMULSIVE.
