Default A quick hello from Derby

Hi there!

I'm Ben, originally from Bristol but now studying commercial photography at Derby Uni.

Have had a passion for photography for quite a few years now and finally creating a love for shooting film. Until half a year ago I had only shot 35mm, but since then I've shot 120 roll film and 5x4. I own two 35mm cameras, the Praktica BMS and BC1.

Hopefully will post some shots in the next few days.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben and welcome, Prakticas are very nice cameras, I have used a few of them, and with Carl Zeiss lenses are very capable cameras,
Richard

Seen him a few times in the darkrooms but nothing to really speak of.

Welcome to the forum Ben. Nice to know there are still facilities for analogue photography. Long may it continue.

Welcome, Ben. Nice to have some young blood. I have John Blakemore's book, the "Black and White Photography Workshop" one. Well worth a read if you haven't already done so.

Mike
