Just to be contrary :twisted: there was a suggestion at the last workshop for South Wales (which is still below the M62 when viewed from up north). Coast and country within easy reach, once the initial journey has been made.

I would be interested in attending a workshop in the south and would be able to give a lift to anyone from the North East

I'm with Steve on this, I prefer the mono version. It has a more gritty feel which suits the subject matter.

Scanning

I have noticed a number of references to "wet mounting" slides and negatives prior to scanning and wondered what is meant by the term. I am sure that it is very simple but seems daunting for a new starter in LF

Film replacement

As we use film bigger than 100 Sqcm could we not use silver rich paper negatives as regularly suggested by the weekly and monthly photographic magazines?

Workshop

Paul

Is it too late to gatecrash the Baths workshop on Saturday? It would be a good opportunity of meeting some other LF users and try a different type of photography to boot.

Can bring a flask if the tea shop is full
