Monday 2nd February at 19.30 in the Library Photographic Department

For all of the photoSoc film enthusiasts, there will be a Q&A session this Monday in which Paul Shields, the university’s resident expert, will answer your questions on all topics relating to developing and printing film photographs. This is a great opportunity to find out how to get the best prints from your black and white negatives. It’s recommended that you have tried the society’s darkroom before coming as this is not an introduction, but a Q&A session for you to further your knowledge.
