Default Hello from Cheshire

Hi everyone,

Just joined the site after many years browsing other user groups but never feeling compelled to get involved. I've decided it's time to start contributing something for a change and I am really impressed with the content on the site, not to mention being a fan of many of the members. I've been interested in film, particularly B&W work for many years having setup my first darkroom in the late 80's but then drifting away for many years when marriage and children took over. Happily I returned to the fold 6 years ago and despite being amazed at what digital photography could offer I quickly found myself left cold by the whole process. It may have something to do with spending the last 25 years in front of computer screens too but I absolutely love the feeling of producing silver prints in the darkroom whilst listening to radio 4.

I look forward to many happy hours swapping pictures and ideas with you all.


Steve O'Nions

Best wishes, and welcome to the fold.
I won't make any remarks about cats.
