What is the darkroom?
The dark room is somewhere that you can go to take positive photo’s in the darkroom and develop them onto photo paper straight away and to set up pin hole camera’s to take negative photo’s with outside the darkroom. The darkroom is a room where no visible light is let into it and their is a light switch in there so you can see with light tight boxes in full on light sensitive photo paper so the light from the light’s doesn’t get into the paper and ruin it. When the main lights are off the are other little lights that are on but are not full of normal lights they are orange/red to make sure there is no blue light in the room because blue light is the light that effects the light sensitive photo paper.
The health and safety rules in the darkroom are:
- Don’t take bags or a big items into the darkroom because as it’s mainly dark you could trip over them.
- Be sensible in the darkroom.
- Be sensible with the equipment in the darkroom.
