I know when our HS program was getting up and running they would have been thrilled to be offered something like this. Not for free of course, but just a thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1086733 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 07:12:28 +0000 sotofamilia 1086733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: that would be awesome! Is he interested at all in the enlarger haha, that's the thing I really need out for space? But I have no idea how that would be shipped! Any chance you guys live in Maryland? I'll give you a great deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1086731 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 07:06:08 +0000 CakeLady 1086731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: i showed these to my photo-nerd DH and he loves the darkroom timer! He's potentially interested in buying it from you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1086654 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 01:46:31 +0000 erinpye 1086654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, many pro photographers, especially in the wedding industry, shoot film. It's kind of being revived and there's a whole organization called FIND (film is not dead). Many of the most famous photogs are currently using film. I have no idea the types of equipment they are currently going for, or anything about the quality of the enlarger you have, but it might be worth something to someone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1086622 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 00:26:28 +0000 sunny 1086622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh so jealous! I used to love doing darkroom work :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1086620 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 00:24:35 +0000 lemondrop 1086620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg, drool! If only you were closer, I'd be all over it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1085455 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:41:30 +0000 Mae 1085455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No problem! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1085446 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:40:01 +0000 sotofamilia 1085446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: thank you so much again! I think I'll just list everything as photography equipment and then include pictures. Thank you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1085439 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:38:09 +0000 Mae 1085439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: It's a timer. It probably plugs right into the enlarger. You set the exposure time and hit the button and it turns on the light just for x number of seconds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1085438 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:37:20 +0000 Mae 1085438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd list it as photography equipment - enlarger. And then take a few pics of it to include. I don't really know anything about brands or anything so I really have no clue what its worth to be honest. I bought an enlarger together with some other equipment (trays and chemicals and whatnot) off my dad's friend for like $150 when I was 16 so I never had to research any of that. And that was before digital photography was really a *thing*. </p> <p>The nice thing is that for someone who does want to do it at home, the enlarger is the biggest and most expensive piece of the puzzle. All they need other than that to do their own b/w photos is 3 trays, 2 types of chemicals (which you can buy pretty cheaply online now I'd imagine) and some tongs. And a light proof room of course. :) So it's not really a big investment for people if they have the space and desire! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1085437 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:37:14 +0000 sotofamilia 1085437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, any ideas about this thing? </p> [attach=3561/13/mt2rm4.600x450.photo--3-.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1085422 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:34:02 +0000 sotofamilia 1085422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: oh wow, thanks for explaining, that sounds cool!</p> <p>I'm so clueless about photography equipment - how would you list it, like what would you put in the subject line? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1085364 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:19:21 +0000 Mae 1085364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! It looks like it is an enlarger. You put film up top and use it to expose the photo paper below to make (real, non-digital) photos! I used to have a dark room but gave it up when my parents moved and I switched to digital. Most people shoot digital now although I'm sure some hobby photogs would still love to DIY a darkroom in their basement just for the fun of it! I might list it on craigslist but I don't know how much you could get for it. Best guess without research is maybe ask $50? or $75 maybe and be willing to negotiate a bit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-ot-do-any-photography-bees-know-what-this-is#post-1085334 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:08:46 +0000 sotofamilia 1085334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So this piece of equipment was in our laundry room when we moved into our house last year. Does anybody know what it is and if it's worth re-selling? </p> [attach=3561/13/mt2qan.600x450.photo--2-.JPG]
