Swansea Valley, South Wales

[sandeha]

Hi everyone

I figured one way to introduce myself would be in the Locations socket with a preview of where I live and work. Specifically the Swansea Valley in South Wales (UK) ... I don't travel much at present, but I get around this area with a diesel Escort and a variety of cameras.

35mm


6x6


Pinhole - 6x7, 6x6, and 4x5


4x5


And most recently 5x7 ...


All of the above are neg scans pushed through PhotoShop, except for the last shot which was my first contact print after blacking out the bathroom.

Now that the heatwave is over, I'll be trying a little more of this wet printing and I look forward to sharing them here.

Hi Sandeha and welcome

At last another South Walian! I'm a Barry Boy myself (okay, nothing to brag about I know!!)

I've just had a look at your web site 9and urge everyone to do the same!) excellent photography and very interesting section where you describe how you built your own (impressive) LF camera!

If you fancy some company on location give me a shout!

Best wishes

Paul

Thanks Paul. Too kind.

It would be great to meet up at some point - I'll PM you.

Building the camera was one thing, but the greater challenge is using it.
