Clive Bennett here,
just to introduce myself.... I live in Southampton and attend New Forest CC. I seem to be the only LF photographer there so was elated to find this site....they say a problem shared is a problem halved...so I shall be very generous with mine.
I have been taking pictures for over 30 years and LF for three or four years. When I grow up I want to be good at it.
I am still printing conventionally but would also like to scan for greater manipulation should the need arise.
I leave for the Yorkshire Dales this Saturday so hope to get some landscapes to busy me in the darkroom on my return.
I look forward to joining in your discussions and will help anyway I can....but I think I shall be taking more than I can offer.
All the best to you all
regards
Clive Bennett

Welcome Clive
LF can a lonely world indeed but fear not as we're a very friendly bunch here and there's even a few LF'ers I know of down your way!

Re: Hello from Southampton
Hi Clive - firstly I hope you enjoyed your jaunt to the Frozen North aka Yorkshire. I'm an ex-pat from the Hull area but have lived away too long - I'm rather partial to the area even now - esp if the local does Theakstons 'OLD P' !!. I now live pretty close to you - I'm in Hedge End - east of Southampton and close to J7 of the M27 near the huge M&S superstore. If you fancy a meet up or just a beer / natter then ping me via the PM system on here - saves exposing (ha ha lousy pun not intended) phone no's etc to the spamalots.
I'm not a wet printer - never really have been but go the fairly well trodden route of :-
film -> Peak Imaging -> Epson V700 -> PSCS4 -> Epson 3800 -> Flickr (or house wall if any good)
Hope to catch up on one of the informal get-togethers a few of us have or the next workshop,
regards Tim...........
