This term is predominantly about bringing us back to basics - in effect, simplifying the whole procedure and removing any aspect of digital, modern technology and in fact for the most part colour. What we are left with is using black and white film photography and combining this with developing and printing in the darkroom.
Last week we were given our first roll of B&W film. To my mind, this has the potential to go three times as wrong as with a digital camera. Firstly, the simple use of an "old school camera", second "developing the film" and thirdly "printing". Fingers crossed it all goes according to plan! To date, I've shot my B&W film. It appears to have successfully loaded, 36 exposures taken, film rewound and removed. Only tomorrow's session in the darkroom will tell if this has been successful.
