Default Hello from Bavaria

Hello,

my Name's Pete and I live in the south of Germany (originally from Wales). I enjoy film photography very much but don't develop at home or in a club at the moment. However, since the costs of development are quite high and the turn around times of the local labs are quite slow, this could change in the future.

I use 35mm film, mostly negative, and like both colour and B&W. My cameras are nothing very special: a couple of K mount SLRs and one or two old rangefinder models from the 60's. They all get a film or two run through them at fairly regular intervals.

I'm not sure if I really favour any particular style or genre, and think it best to let my photos speak for me as well as for themselves.

I sent a couple of rolls to the lab this week and will post any photos that are halfway decent once I get them back. I look forward to getting involved and hope to have fun and hone my skills on this forum.

Pete

Welcome aboard Pete.

Hopefully the pics will turn out fine (tho' not as good as if you'd dev and printed them yourself ).

Have fun, Bob.

Welcome indeed.

I will be in your part of the world come June. Documenting a motorcycle tour. I will be stopping over night in Oberstdorf before heading home. I hope it is a bit warmer and drier than the last time I was there.

Welcome Pete. As an analogue photographer, Germany with its pedigree of analogue excellence can't be a bad place to live. You are right about home processing. Cheaper than commercial and more importantly you have control.

Mike
