Default Newbie here from Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
Been photographing a couple of years or so, started off with Fuji XT10 digital but now mostly film.
I have a couple of Minolta Dynax 7xi cameras which I use for cycling photography;
a Voightlander VF135 which I like to use when we are wandering around somewhere new - lovely little rangefinder!;
Voigtlander Avus 9x12 glass plate camera, which I am slowly getting round to using (I have glass, liquid light and subbing solution - just lacking courage at the moment!!)
2 homemade pinhole cameras: a 6x6 which I generally use with Fomapan 100; and a curved plane 4" x 10" paper negative pinhole camera.
I develop and print most of my own work.
Just bought a new box about 13" cubed (made and decorated for vinyl) which I am considering turning into an 8" x 10" pinhole camera.

Looking forward to learning from all your photos and forum posts.

Hi John and welcome aboard.

Sounds like you are building up to some serious DIY work with the liquid light and plate camera!

Have fun. Bob.

Welcome John. In better weather set up your box with glass plates on the front at Scarborough, dressed in Victorian garb and watch the interest in your gear.

I say this only partly in jest. I am convinced that lots of people would be prepared to pay for a seaside portrait in the way it was done in say the 1870s

Mike
