Hello from Oslo!

Hello there!

I just join here and there seem to be tons of great info! I have recently started shooting black and white film again after more than 10 years of all digital. I am really enjoying the experience and learning a lot from it. I am not looking at "replacing digital" with film but I find the two quite complementary and I have been shooting about a roll of film per week for the last few months.

For now I am shooting mainly 35mm Ilford FP5+ either at box speed (400 ISO) or pushed to 1600 ISO if needed. I am developing and scanning all my negatives but I have also setup a basic darkroom in my basement to do some printing. I have posted some information on my cameras and darkroom setup on my web page at http://photo.fleurey.com/blog.

This is a photography forum so enough text, here are a picture



Cheers,

Franck

Welcome to Apug!

Hei fra Sørlandet! And welcome!

I'm another norwegian loving film. Mostly medium format and folders, and currently happily reversal developing b&w at home.

Nice to see other norwegians on Apug!

Welcome to APUG! I just had a look at your website/blog and it's quite interesting. I too, shoot an FE, one of my favourites film cameras. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Hello Franck, and welcome to the APUG site. ....

Hei

Thanks, and good to know that other people from Norway are here!
I have never tried reversal developing, are you processing regular b&w negative film in a special way or using some kind of positive b&w film?

Cheers,

Franck

Hello!

Thanks for the kind words. I really like the Nikon FE, even if I have a coupld of issues with it which I just posted in the 35mm forum

Cheers,

Franck

Yes. I'm following the Ilford recipe. (I'm a beginner, currently.)

Welcome to APUG

Welcome, Franck. I think you will like APUG.

Hello Franck and welcome APUG.

Welcome aboard. I also just joined, and have resurrected my old Hasselblad and ordered B&W film along with Ilford mailers. Eventually will develop my own film, but for now, want to try different films until I find one that I like.
