Hello, at last...
Hello all, i have been a member for several weeks now and thought it was about time i stopped being so lazy and actually said something!
I have been hooked on photography for about three and a half years now, and am firmly stuck on the dark side, in the dark room. Like darkclassical, music was my first calling, though popular. Since taking up photography however, i spend more time thinking about developing, printing and exposure, than new ways to blow on I VI II V. Like many new to photography i started with a cheap digital, but after an impulse buy on ebay an old fujica STX-1 replaced it overnight. Within a few months a film scanner met the same fate, and was replaced by an enlarger. I now use two Olympus OM's for 35mm, and a Mamiya C330f for 120. Favourite photographers include Joseph Koudelka, Cartier-Bresson, Don McCullin and many others. I live in Newcastle (stuck after university) but grew up in Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire. I mostly use Ilford films and chemicals, lots of Delta 100, HP5+ and Microphen. Prescysol EF when i want things really fine. Now, do i sell the Gibson to buy more film? or would that be going too far... |
