Default Hi from Gwynedd

Been linked to you from Talk Photography and already I spot a couple of familiar faces

I'm onlyjust old enough to remember life before dgital, I was quite a late convert to Digital, never realy got on with it either. A Few months ago I finally got shot of all the digital gizmos and moved entirely to C41 film, and I'm now making the transition to doing my own developing too.

I shoot Olymps OM mainly but also have a Pentax LX and ME kicking around and have just bought my 2nd Minolta XD to make use of some wonderful Minolta glass I'd been using on digital.

I don't have a darkroom, I'llbe doing it all on a small scale, Paterson tank and a scanner I'm afriad. I plan on using Caffenol for devloping as well as it's far easier to convince the powers that be to allow chemicals in the house when they're branded in supermarket packets not plain whte containers with big chemical names and warning logos (Plus I always wanted a chemistry set)!

Welcome Alan, look forward seeing your work here.

North Wales, esp. Snowdonia is one of my most favorite locations, not only photography-wise, but also for hiking/walking/climbing.

Welcome Alan. Yes the skull and crossbones on packets can alarm some people but I saw a strength 6 packet of ground coffee the other day in the supermarket which might be as bad for your health.

Still it might be a great speed inducing coffee developer.

Hi Alan, I think I know you from the Four-Thirds User forum, although I'm not allowed to mention that here .

Welcome from another OM user and fan of Snowdonia, although I don't get there often enough these days.
