Just for fun and x-post from the "recent acquisitions" thread ... happy camper.

"On the right, a nearly new in the box Krokus 69 enlarger with a Nikkor 50/4 lens, plus filters, trays, paper, tongs, bottle, and bulbs ... all for 30€ purchased in Poitiers via "Le Bon Coin" site. I also purchased a mint Canon AE-1 Program with a FD 50/1.8 plus case for 20€ from the same person. I will post the Canon later.

Here, my new Krokus 69 (again on the right) is in my photo club's darkroom. I was looking for parts for the Krokus 69 in the middle of this image. It was donated to the club last month and I repaired it plus cleaned it up a lot ... it was stored in a barn with a Krokus 44 enlarger (also donated) which is just a pile of parts, unfortunately.

I was looking for missing/replacement parts for the club's Krokus 69 ... a missing filter support tray and a broken glass plane in negative holder. So, I stumbled upon the my Krokus 69 ... now I can fabricate a filter tray for the club and replace the broken glass because there's an extra piece with my Krokus.

The silver Krokus 69 on the left is mine and loaned to the club while I paint and finish my home darkroom."

Here's some more images of our darkroom ... there's a seperate small room for total darkness film loading, etc.

Yes, a good bit. I was recently volunteered to be the "Responsable" of the darkroom.

Last year, it and just me and Régis using it all. I used the Durst M601 most of the time ... since I have the same in my home. This fall, I used a bit more my silver Krokus 69 to print some MF. It is in the club's lab because I needed to make space to paint/finish electricity in my home darkroom. I develop my film at home. This weekend I tested (6X6 neg) the club's donated Krokus 69 and it works fine now.

I have also "recruited" for the club's darkroom ... two friends that were with me at a previous darkroom run by an association until they closed it to make a photcopier room. And word-of-mouth apparently got around, since we've had a few inquiries and several truly new members, too ... a Minolta SRT 101 shooter ... plus a mother and teenage daughter duo.

I taught the daughter how to develop B&W film in the lab last month and I oversaw them this last weekend while they printed the 135 that they developed previously. The mother used to develop and print long ago, but she had forgotten a lot and needed a refresher course, etc.

Cheers, J

Very well done- would have been so easy to overexpose the interior. Cool shot

No, it's a little unnamed falls along a old abandon section of Highway 30 near Rainier. Want to go back when the ground is drier and hike up the very steep hillside, as the upper side of the falls looks very impressive.

All those creeks get to looking the same! Jack Falls or Little Jack Falls by any chance?

We're going to hike back to those maybe Sunday. This is across from Trojan, a short walk from the highway, I believe it's Neer creek.
