Hi all

Finally found a forum thats active and discusses film photography!
Ive been shooting digital as an amateur and hobbyist photographer, shooting mainly landscapes/nature but have done events and portrait photography. In the last 12 months I got myself a Hasselblad 500c and entered the world of Medium format. Ive had mixed success so far with the Hassy, mixed because some films turn out and others were blank. I think i've nailed it down to forgetting to wind up the film on the magazine, oops. :redface: However the experience is refreshing and fascinating, because of the added challenge of everything being manual and a new format being square, not to forget the inverted viewfinder! Im still learning what films I like and plan experiment further, including IR. On the other hand im tempted by 4x5 large format but im still learning about it and the costs involved...

Thats me in a nutshell, look forward to reading, sharing and learning on APUG.
 
Hello and welcome to APUGland from the English Lake District!
 
Welcome from an X melbournian.
 
Welcome to APUG and my complements on your camera choice.
 
I agree with Sirius. Great camera choice. I use a 500 C/M. My first two rolls were loaded back to front. The first one was under Sydney Harbour Bridge and the second was outside Flinders St Station. By my third roll I realised what I was doing wrong. There are a lot of APUGers in Melbourne. Three of us have just received our new Travelwide 4x5 cameras.
 
Thanks everyone, appreciate the welcome :smile:
