Default Greetings from Shropshire

Hello everybody - introducing myself.

Having re-discovered my love of analogue photography I have decided to go the whole hog and get into black & white. I have an enlarger and a space I can use as a darkroom so I regard myself as a lucky chap.

Can't say I have any skill in any of the various aspects of picture making from composition to printing, but it makes me happy.

I've already gained a wealth of information from the experts here - hope to be able to give something back one day.

Julian

Hi Julian and welcome.

If you need any help I'm in North Worcestershire close to the Shropshire border and you're welcome to pop over.

Hi Julian and welcome. I was going to say that if there is a nearby college still running a B&W processing and printing course it might be worthwhile to enrol but even better is help from an experienced printer on a 1:1 basis and I note that Ian has offered his help. Can't get much better than that

My offer is open to anyone close enough to be interested. I've a reasonably large darkroom with 4 enlargers (and could add 3 more if needed) covering 35mm/6x6 to 10x8.

I know from experience it can be a costly lonely learning curve
