Default Hello from South Africa (is that ok?)

Hello everyone

I live in South Africa (is that ok, since this is a .org.uk forum?) I'm not totally new to film (shooting 10 years). for what it's worth, I shoot MF mostly, various subject matter, all on B&W film and printed in my own darkroom.

Looking forward to using this forum (or just to read and be inspired)

kind regards
Ricus

Welcome Ricus, so glad you found us. Although this forum is based in England it is all the stronger for the input of Friends around the world.

Thank you all. I'm glad to have found this forum - there are many "other" forums, but I love the emphasis on darkroom work (which is where my passion lies - still kind of learning though ) I don't even own a film scanner...

Kind regards
Ricus

Hi Ricus and welcome. As the others have said FADU is for everyone who has an interest in traditional film and darkroom processes.

If any others that you know in S.A. with the same interest as yourself have been hesitant because FADU has a .org.uk address then I hope you will re-assure them that it is OK for them to join.


Mike

Film itself may have physical boundaries-film photography has no geographic boundaries. Welcome. 10 years? you can tell me where I keep going wrong....
