1.equipment:
• Lighttight film-processing tank that accepts the size of
film you plan to process
• Several quart jars or bottles (glass, stainless steel, or
plastic) for processing solutions
• Stirring paddle to mix solutions
• Soft viscose sponge
• Darkroom timer or a clock with a sweep-second hand
• Scissors
• Protective gloves to prevent skin contact with chemicals
• Spring-type clothespins for hanging processed film to
dry
To make prints, you’ll need this equipment:
• Printing frame or enlarger
• 8 x 10-inch piece of heavy cardboard
• Four photographic processing trays a little larger than
the largest prints you plan to make (or shallow pans or
dishes made of glass, plastic, china, or stainless steel)
• Print squeegee or soft viscose sponge
2.You use a photo sensitive paper that has the image projected on it from an enlarger. This enlarger shines light through the film and produces the image on the paper. If there was anything other than red light the paper would simply turn black
3.First of all, you need to have all your equipments ready to go in the dark room then turn the light off except for the orange dark light on. The next step is pour the chemicals and water into 4 different containers about 1 inch deep then follow the instructions on how to mix them. After that, you place the test strip underneath the enlarger and cover all but 1 inch of it with a dark solid material. Press the button on your enlarger to expose the film for ½ a second to 1 full second. Then continuously move the paper down 1 inch and expose the film until you run out of room. Now your going to develop your test strip photo using the chemicals prepared. First you sink it in the developer and agitate with the tongs until you see the image. Then take it out to the stop bath  for 1 minute then rinse it with water for a few second before you drop it into the fix solution for 3-5minutes. After that you rinse it with water again then look at the test strip in normal light in order to choose the exposure you like best for your print.

1.Emulsion-A suspension of small globules of one liquid in a second liquid with which the first will not mix. 2.Aperture-is a hole or an opening through which light travels
3. Masking easel-A big, square model with masking blades, interchangeable blade widths
4.Exposure-the act of presenting a photosensitive surface to rays of light.
5.Safe light-A darkroom light with a filter that transmits only those rays of the spectrum to which films, printing paper, etc., are not sensitive.
6. Dodging-Also, hold back. Photography to shade  from exposure for a period, while exposing the remainder of the print in order to lighten or eliminate the area
7.Burning-the state, process, sensation, subjected to intense heat.
