View Full Version : Hello from Denmark

Have been an amateur photographer for about 30 years.
My present darkroom is built up around a 'DEVERE 504' chassis found on the local dump. The addition of a 'BESELER 45' condensor head by a very canny son-in-law, and...Bob's your uncle.
I work mainly in 4x5 monochrome, split grading. My photography and processing very traditional stuff, though recently when I tried f/stop printing with the ensuing "WOW!!!" factor, tradition got a robust clout upside the head with the purchase of a dedicated f/stop timer. (Now just try taking THAT away from me!)
I have tried digital, of course, and have seen some truly stunning work done in this field by folks who have the knack, but the bug has never bitten and I remain firmly on the darkside.
Thanks for allowing me along,
Deryck

Thanks to all for the warm welcome I received on joining FADU.
I already know of, and admire, the work of several present members of FADU, so in closing must say: Gosh! you guys set the bar awfully high.
Cheers!

Welcome Deryck,
Looking forward to your thoughts and ideas
That's just how the bar should be set, but we are all here to help each other over. ;)
Agreed! and to finish that sentence "all here to help each other over- to the bar" could also be implied.

Welcome Deryck. Things are looking up here in the Midlands of England. For the first time I saw two men with film cameras today!
Pity about their age. The men that is, not the cameras but it gladdened my heart.
