Hello Everyone!
Hello, I've just recently joined FADU so thought I should make a brief introduction.
I'm Adrian and I live in Yateley, Hampshire. I got a Canon DSLR last Christmas, and yes I must admit I do love it - but it merely ended up acting as a catalyst to really get me into photography - straight back into film! Having read some books and the internet on creative photography, I ended up buying an old Canon EOS-3 (works with Canon DSLR lenses). Then I then went mad and built myself one of those Bulldog 5x4 kits. A lens, Double Dark slide and a pack of HP5+ and shot my first film - not very imaginative - just outside the house (couldn't wait to develop it!) Wow! it worked beautifully - no light leaks either thank goodness. Developed it in D76 then contact printed it onto Ilford RC IV after a friend lent me an enlarger and other darkroom gear. The tonal range and resolution is breathtaking. I'd never done printing before so it took me a few goes to get the exposure right. So there you are - my wife loves me doing photography because she can see the beauty and point in it and it keeps me out of mischief albeit a bit pricy! Best Regards to all, Adrian |

Welcome Adrian and thank you for the introduction. The Canon EOS is a good range of cameras with good secondhand availability.
