Developer turns iPhone and $20 smart plug into darkroom f-stop timer
Original: Show HN: I turned my iPhone and a $20 smart plug into an f-stop timer
A developer has built a low-cost f-stop timer for photographic darkrooms using an iPhone and a $20 smart plug. The project, documented on a personal site, lets film photographers time enlarger exposures in f-stops rather than seconds, a technique usually requiring dedicated equipment. The release is drawing attention among analog photography enthusiasts and hobbyist makers discussing the setup and its practicality.
Why now: Film photography hobbyists are interested in cheap DIY alternatives to dedicated darkroom timers.
