Hello there

Hello - I'm in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire.
I'm new to Large Format, having enjoyed using a Mamiya 7 for a number of years, then moved to digital - which I enjoyed on the surface, but just never got any shots that made me think 'wow!' Maybe the problem was that I spend a lot of time in front of a computer at work and it's the last thing I want to do for relaxation.
So after a long time deliberating I made the move a couple of weeks ago and sold the digital gear and bought an Ebony RSW45.
And I'm pleased to bits with the change, but really need to find someone to explain in practical terms the theory behind focusing and shift etc.
So if there is anyone in this area who wouldn't mind giving me some basic tuition I'd really appreciate it, and if it's something you do for a living I don't expect your time for free! Similarly if you can recommend anyone who runs courses I'd be interested in knowing the details (I've already looked at Joe Cornish's courses and he's booked up to September, and I don't want to wait that long).
Have a good Easter weekend everyone.
