Hi all, from Spain
Hello everybody!
I'm Alvaro, aka aremesal in Internet, am a young (35yo is young ) photography enthusiast living in Valladolid, northern Spain. I used some film cameras when I was young, a couple of reflex owned by my father and a simple Ansco point-and-shoot I've been given when I was 9. About six or seven years ago I began to interest myself in (digital) photography, and have been learning and practicing from them, upgrading from a point-and-shoot to bridges, to reflex, and to CSC nowadays. At the same time I look at chemical and traditional photography with an increased insterest, so in 2013 I decided to try that. I bought a cheap Yashica MG-1 and some second hand equipment and began to shoot and develop film... it pleased me so much! I read some second hand books and, slowly I learned one new lesson or trick every day (and bought some more cameras ) At the beginning of 2014 I thought it's time to try the magic, so bought a second hand and cheap Meopta enlarger with some equipment and began to print my copies... it's amazing! I own some film cameras both 35mm and MF, but I use to shoot with a Voigtländer Bessa R2 and an Olympus 35RC in 35mm and a Flexaret Va or a Fuji GA645 in MF. In MF sometimes like to go out with an old Zeiss Ikon Nettar and my Lunasix 3 to shoot some slow and meditated landscape photos. Now, I'm absolutly in love with traditional photography, I'm still learning (and there is a lot of things to learn, yet!) day by day, both about development and about printing, but enjoy every day, every film I shoot, every copy I print. So, here I am, expecting to learn a lot from you, guys, and hoping that I could help others, too. Hi, all!

Welcome Alvaro. It is always nice to have a friend with a range of cameras who can give advice when another friend has problems with those cameras
