Someone recently gave me an enlarger, some plastic developing trays and a few other odds and ends for darkroom work, but I have no idea how to go about setting up a darkroom let alone develop the film myself. I really would like to set one up simply because I think it would be interesting to learn. Does anyone know if there is a website devoted to darkroom procedures or B&W developing or both? Also, I want to shoot some B&W film with using a sepia tone filter. I'm a 19th century living historian and the "period" photos I often take of our camps would look better that way. If I and shooting with B&W film, does that mean it is still processed as B&W? I'm using an OLD 35mm SLR (which I just love) and professional films - Ilford and Agfa. I'll be using Ilford papers unless someone wants to suggest someone else. I'm always open to suggestions! Thanks.
