Default Sharpshooter Greetings

Greetings fellow Photography enthusiasts.

I'm a young man and new to Photography having travelled pretty much across the world to end up on this wonderful Forum.

I'm a total amateur to the World of Photography and still in my experimental stages.

Sometime in the year 2006 I was stuck in that most hostile of environments, the middle of a war zone, and from there I picked up a battered old Russian camera which heaven knows how many had handled before me. It became my constant companion. Nowadays I am more familiar with a small but ever growing shelf of cameras from the 1930's right through to the latest DSLR cameras. I still find working with film the most exciting. Nothing beats that waiting for the development of film. I am still trying to get enough equipment together for my own development work... however the nature of my lifestyle is somewhat semi-nomadic. Great for taking photos but not so friendly when it comes to developing them. I absolutely love the old 600 series polaroid's but seldom use the one I have because the film is hideously expensive. English is not my first language so if I sound silly please forgive me.

I hope to learn lots of new skills and techniques as well as make new friends. So I once again stress I am most happy to be here and look forward to seeing more posts and contributing some of my photos as well. Many thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to Fadu, I have a table full of cameras from the 30's to the early 60's that I use for all of my photography,
