HI,
I am so happy to find this site. I think I made a mistake by buying a red "party light" from the store for the dark room. The photo shop was out of bulbs so I just went out and bought a red bulb. All of my photos turned completely black. I mixed the chemical correctly and I believe I made the cameras light proof (out of oatmeal containers and a coke can for the metal pinhole). The paper that I used is Ilford glossy.
Am I correct in thinking I might need a specific type of red light? Any information would be appreciated because, as you can tell, I am a total novice and my main source of info has been Stew Woodruff and other pinhole sites.
Thanks!
Sally
