greetings from Happy Valley

[alan c. davis]

Hi, thats Happy Valley a suburb of Adelaide capital of South Australia. I,ve just discovered this site and had to join. It's great to know there,s other people out there who haven't gone over to the dark side. I'm happy to call myself a Luddite. Photography has given me more than 30 years of enjoyment and recorded countless priceless memories including 7 years travelling around the world in the 70's. I love to combine photography with my other great pleasure in life hiking. Adelaide is dispargingly referred to by Melbournites and Sydneysiders as that place we fly over on our way to the west. That's fine by us Adelaidians. We're happy to see ourselves as that little bit of paradise in the south seas where things are right most of the time. I've gone somewhat full circle with my photography in the last couple of years having progressed from 30 years of usuing slr's to the discovery of the joys of rangefinder cameras and this has given me the motivation to start up a darkroom after a 16 year hiatus. So greetings everyone from the dark side.

Hi Alan, welcome to the community from Hawaii. Glad you should join us, you will enjoy this site, as there are several people on the site from Adelaide. In fact, I will be in Adelaide in about a month visiting one of our APUG members.

Greetings from country NSW - and despite being a Melburnian I'm happy to admit to a fondness for Adelaide. To start with, you have the country's prettiest cricket ground. And you are close to some wonderful places for landscape photography.

Another Melburnian here with no gripes against Adelaide, except that most of the taxis still use old fashioned manually operated credit card technology.

By the way, welcome, Alan, but I said that on another thread. Welcome back to the dark slide () and I'm sure you will enjoy it here.
