Cool Hello from sunny Florida

Not too sunny at the moment. The west part of the state got 15 inches of rain in 24 hrs the other day. I've been shooting since the 1960's. Started with a Kodak Instamatic, bought the standard K1000 for a black and white class in college and never looked back. I strayed into collecting anything related to photography about 20 years ago. I'm down to about 60 cameras at the moment, but I'm really trying to cut back. I'm shooting with a Pen half frame at the moment. Nice way to get a lot of frames, but a pain to print. I'm shooting Pan F 50 asa movie film, not Ilford. It really makes nice negatives and prints if you don't shoot in very brght light.

Hi and welcome to FADU, jaelde. The difference between rain in Florida and the U.K. is that when it rains here we have to turn the central heating on even in May.

Only 60 cameras! The mods will have to decide whether you have shown enough dedication to analogue to remain

Mike

Thank you. I spent 44 days at an RAF base, Oakelthorp? near Kings Lynn in April/May 1980. It rained ,sleeted or snowed 40 out of 44 days. The sun did come out almost every afternoon for an hour or two, though. I made it to London twice for week end visits. Very nice place to visit.

Can there be anything that rips at your very soul like cutting back on the number of cameras you have? You have my undying admiration.
Welcome.

... and East Anglia (that part of the country) is the driest part of Britain April/May is the most volatile time of year so your experience is not unheard of! Come the year after, and it may just as likely been 50/50 sun and "assorted other" (but never getting very warm).


Welcome to the forum!

Cheers, Bob.
