If that is the case Tim had better include the Guy family (http://www.vkguy.co.uk/) who must use more sheet film than the rest of us put together!

This is what I was wondering! I've never heard of them before and it's great to find out about! Thanks Lynne!

Me, Me, Me. Over 80 sheets this year (and counting). And all of it Fuji flavoured!

Tom Mackie based in Norfolk used a Wista 5x4 field, he's in the "World's Best Landscape Photographers" book along with most of the "household names" in that genre, very good photographer.

I think he shoots digital now, although I don't know if it's exlusively, I expect he still has and uses his Wista though.

I don't think think am currently shooting quite enough sheets to qualify for your list, but I am committed to continue with LF and maybe 2010 will see me find my mojo again. :D

I didn't see Ian Grant mentioned, although he is from the UK and sometimes even in it. I'm hopeful of putting this year behind me and being more productive next year, so count me as a half! :wink:

Many of us here shoot rather a lot of LF landscape work and exhibit it or have it published.

While I currently spend most of the year abroad I still shoot a significant amount of LF 5x4 and 10x8 when back in the UK as I still have ongoing projects, so you can add my name to the list.

I thought that there would be a few who do. My lack of rigor in making the list is just that, no malign intent in missing anyway. Hence why I'm asking (I don't want to miss anyone if possible - I undoubtedly will though)

Thanks

Joanna,
When you're finished with your huskies, can I borrow them?
Best regards,

Four more names for you - Harry Cory Wright, Jem Southam, Andy Latham, Craig Joiner.

Then of course there's John Blakemore, and maybe Michael Collins (mainly urban and industrial landscapes)?

I see Sami made the list anyway. Are you widening the criteria, then?

I don't know if it's relevant, but the title of the thread says "British Photographers", does this mean British by origin or living and working in Britain? I ask as it occurs to me that Tom Mackie although living in Norfolk, is actually an American....

I think you could add me to the list as well, whilst I haven't been prolific this year due to other projects, my commitment to LF hasn't wavered, I'll easily hit your target next year.

You still haven't let on about the purpose of this list Tim, is it a secret? :wink:
