RE: Re: Making pinholes without a darkroom?

Hi
I'm not sure if this was mentioned before but the newspaper
photographers that North Vietnam sent across the border did ALL of their
processing at night, stream side, counting seconds 'cause lights might
have gotten them shot...

Why don't you develop at night. I do it under the stars. I have a
camping darkroom rig all set up for my camping trips. Its a 2.5 gal
paint bucket and three 5x7 trays and developer and fix bottles. For a
safe light I use a mini mag light with a red filter. I fit this into a
headband that holds the flashlight in the direction my head is pointed.
I have developed paper with the crescent moon in the sky with no ill
effects. I don't know about full moon.
