Default Hi from Oman.

Found you all just by chance: as I was looking for anything about film – I split my time between Oman and York (my Wife would say 80% Oman and 20% UK) well maybe she is right, as I do not like the weather or the politics in UK at the moment.
Oman is a very good place to live and I have spent the best part of 21 years here. So hello from sunny (winter at the moment so only around 25c.) Oman.

Welcome Daud, how do you cope with all those blue skies?

Hello Daud and welcome to FADU. As I look out of my window I can report the usual cold wet and windy with much of the same forcast for tomorrow

Neil.

Thanks for the warm welcome and Trevor: Blue sky is not always a constant here in Oman. We do get the odd storm once in a while…..
Although I must say that during the summer it can be a bit of a pain with temperatures nudging 50C.
But at this time of the year it is wonderful – sitting out with a cold beer!
I do not need to use split development for my films either as the light is usually very good.
Summer – now that is a different story, as anything after 10:00 AM is extreme when it come to the dynamic range of even the most forgiving film.
Dave, yes Oman can leave good memories.

Yes it did, and one was of the cold beer; arriving as I had from Saudi Arabia.

That brings back memories; I had a very good friend called Sid! He quite liked Cola.
