Default Hello from Stephen

Hi,
I have recently joined FADU after returning to conventional darkroom printing after a break of about 15 years. In the intervening period my life was completely digital. However, I was never fully satisfied with my digital efforts and recently bought a Pentax 67ll with three lenses. I had a Pentax 67 MU years ago and really missed the experience when I sold it.
I love the look of film, BW and colour, and I am having a ball with the new (old) camera.
I played around in the school darkroom when I was younger and did a bit more as part of an NVQ in 2002. However, I am no expert and have yet to try my hand at advanced techniques, like toning and F stop printing.
Any help or suggestions will be gratfully accepted.
Best wishes to all.
Stephen

Hi,
Many thanks for the courteous welcome.
I should also have said that it was seeing the work on this forum that spurred me on to order paper and developer and get back into wet processing. One image in particular (I won't say which because there is a lot of excellent work on the forum) finally prized the debit card from my tight Scottish grip!

Welcome to FADU Stephen. Always fancied a Pentax 67ii.
