Default Greetings from Hampshire.

Hi everyone. Having used what I imagine were quality 35mm compacts throughout my life I switched to digital 2 years ago which has given me reasonable success in local competitions through joining a photographic club, but since joining the club I'm coming across more old school photographers who's dark room terminology strikes many resemblances to digital software manipulation, and its because if these resemblances that I want to take a few steps back and learn the 'art' of photography from taking the picture all the way through to developing.

I'm looking forward to using the forum and hopefully contributing along the way.

Moss.

Hi and welcome to FADU. You will not regret using film and darkroom printing, it is far more rewarding than sitting in front of a computer screen.
