I’ve finally decided to join up after seeing yet another prompt from Joanna Carter on the LFPF to someone else to join. I thought that before she spots me and prompts me I’d sign up here too {;o)
I’ve been a LF photographer (B&W) since 1994 and a 35mm photographer before that since the 60s – mostly B&W. My main subject areas are landscape (mainly UK and US), where most of my work has been since I started, and also, since about 3 or 4 years ago, in English churches and cathedrals. Photography is not where I’ve made my living but it is my passion.
For 14 years I’ve used a 5x4 Zone VI but a few months ago bought a Chamonix 5x4 – a lovely light, rigid camera that was (before the fall of the £) very inexpensive. I use 3 Nikkor lenses – a 90mm, a 135mm and a 210mm though I anticipate soon the addition of a 300mm. I use Tmax 100 & 400 films but that’s the point where the old processes finish for me. I put the darkroom to bed many years ago and joined the scanning/ink printing brigade about 8 years ago when I made my first B&W ink prints.
If you’d like to see some of my work here’s my website: www.virtuallygrey.co.uk It’s been 18 months since I updated it so I’m working on a major overhaul and a great deal of culling before adding lots of new work.
I’ll do my best to contribute here.

Yup, once you get the hang of making all the right adjustments in Photoshop, the results can be astounding.Steve Gledhill wrote:...I put the darkroom to bed many years ago and joined the scanning/ink printing brigade about 8 years ago when I made my first B&W ink prints.
