No. I'm making work on 35mm now. There's a few words on my methodology on my website.
www.fordcottagephotography.com go to technical. I'd love to hear your response to that.

Welcome to the sanatorium Steven, leave the pixel fairies outside and relax here.
Some of us are coming your way in May, maybe you can catch up with us then?

I agree a small camera can be liberating after a period using a ULF camera. It enables you to try out all sorts idea's without breaking the bank and your back!

I often use 35mm but struggle to get the print quality I'm looking for. Perhaps I will try harder when I build my new darkroom (just got to move first!).

It would be great to meet up when and where will that be?

Barrie, I know print quality from little negs can be dissapointing, especially when you have been making platinum contacts from 8x20 negs , but what I've been doing is keeping the print size small, no bigger than 14x11. Also being very careful, using a drying cabinet, not switched on, wetting agent etc. even then I still end up getting out the Spotone. Somehow though, that rather dangerous practice of drawing the 00 sable through my lips and mixing the colour feels like craftsmanship.

Something I miss when I am pulling RAW files in to Lightroom. (sorry Dave, just a passing reference to the pixel fairies)

Pah!!!! I just came out of my darkroom and was blown three laps of the village before I managed to grab the front door handle to get back inside soaked to the skin!
Welcome

Just realised I've been spelling your name wrong, sorry Barry.

Yes I have seen those before. Not sure how to take the inferred double meaning of the last two images.

I am in contact with Graham and Graham is in contact with Liz. I don't know if they are already on here but I think they would both like to be members. I will e mail a link to Graham.
