I thought it was about time I said hello, having been lurking on and off for a while! I'm new to large format - my son Tom has a few months head start on me I got back into photography 3 or 4 years ago with my first DSLR, after a long break. Trouble was although I learned quite a bit and ended up with lots of images, I wasn't really satisfied with the results. So earlier this year I decided to go back to shooting some film and bought a medium format camera off eBay. I found I enjoyed taking photos more but that I ended up with a large format mindset (taking time, using a tripod and spot meter) but I missed not having any camera movements. That lead to the inevitable call to Robert White and I bought a second hand Ebony 45S and haven't looked back since. In fact I've sold all my DSLR kit!

This weekend I was out at Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge and made my first LF image that I'm happy with, this was taken on Velvia 100 with a 210mm:



Still got a lot to learn, but I'm happy I'm heading in the right direction now!

Welcome Jonathan

There is nothing like taking a LF camera out for a walk - You can even take photographs sometimes

Enjoy

Nice shot. You'll probably be mortgaging your house before long.

Welcome to the group.

Was your photograph taken at the lake that overlooks the mill in the distance?

Welcome from just up the road in Norwich
