Hello from Scotland

[mike the limey]

I only found this site earlier this evening and was delighted with its content, all traditional photography and photographers.

For the past 23 years I have been away from photography and only got back into it about 6 months ago. Since then I have been equipping a traditional darkroom and purchasing a range of cameras. My new parner in life, Rosemary, is keen to learn photography and its something that we can do together.

23 years is a long time and there have been many changes since I last held a camera in anger. When I gave up all those years ago the Canon A1 was camera of the year and auto focus was still something under development.

Have browsed this site I feel sure that i shall meet many new friends and I look forward to sharing our passion for traditional photography.

Best regards to you all.

Welcome Mike,
I hope you and Rosemary enjoy your renewed interest, and get a lot of pleasure from your photography. I think you will be amazed at at how much the materials have improved in twenty three years, to me a much more significant than in the hardware IMHO. I still have and use two Canon A1s, they do all I need, I have no need for A/F for the type of work I do , mainly portraiture, and they do the job admirably.

welcome Mike from even further south than Dave

Welcome. I think you've joined a good site. We're very kind. Where else could you find members saying they are Scotland fans? Hang on, this may be a reference to the country and not the football team. Yes, I mean members with good judgement.

Pity about the team.
