"Hi, my name is Lanie McCormick I'm a fine art photographer in Austin, Texas. I'm here to show you how to set up a dark room on behalf of Expert Village. Once you have found your space and you cleaned it out the next step to think about is lightproofing. Lightproofing is a really easy it just takes a little time windows are not a problem you can use foil to black out windows, and I've done that. The problem with that is that overtime the foil will ripe and tear and little bitty lights will come in. Another choice to use instead of foil would be cardboard, cardboard can be cut out the fit inside the windows so quite easily and it's very inexpensive. Another option which is a better option I think is the black out cloth you can buy that at your local fabric store it's a little more expensive than cardboard but it works a lot better. Black out cloth is really nice cause it has a black linen on the inside and it's much easier and it's easier to hang and install. You can use it on windows and you can also use two pieces on the door. Once your dark room is lightproof there is a simple test that you can do. Take a piece of paper turn off the lights in your dark room and wait for about five minutes, get some time for your eyes to adjust. If you hold the paper up and you can see the paper in the dark you know you are going to have some light problems. Also once your eyes had adjusted you can go over carefully around the perimeter of the door and the windows to make sure there is no light links. If there are just simply apply some black duct tape and do the test again."
