Hello from Spain

prowd · Jul 9, 2005

Hi! my name is Alberto. I live in Guadalajara, Spain.

I start in photografy some years ago and allways did digital. Now, some months ago, I discovered B&W Tradicional photo. Now I shot allmost everithing with an old Canon EOS 1000F, while my EOS 300D sleeps in his box.

I'm using mostly Ilford Products: HP5 and Delta Films, Ilfosol S developer, and multigrade papers. Im'm still fighting with FB paper. I think I's harder to find the correct exposure than with RC papers... but I`m sure I'll success.

Any Spanish here?

Wow, an original digital user gone analog. I wonder how many others here have had a similar experience? I started long before digital, thought briefly about digital when it first became obvious that it might actually be possible to do some decent work that way (about 1.5 years ago) and then completely abandoned any thoughts of pixels and went back into my darkroom. Quite happily, I might add. Welcome, Alberto.

No usamos espanol aqui porque este lugar es para ingles,. Hay algunos fotografos excelentes aqui que lo hablan bien...pero no estoy seguro si hay otros de espana. Yo no lo hablo bien, pero me gusta practicar algunas veces...

Welcome Alberto! Glad to see you on this forum, and I am really looking forward to hearing from you and seeing your images of Spain.

Bienvenido Alberto.....Que te parece que tenemos una ciudad llamada Guadalajara aqui en Mexico....

Any way, welcome to traditional photography, hang in there eventually your fiber prints will start to look as you wish them....

Carol · Jul 10, 2005

Welcome Alberto. Sorry I don't speak any Spanish, just Aussie/English. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here.

BradS · Jul 10, 2005

Welcome Alberto. It is great to have another join us from Spain.

John McCallum · Jul 10, 2005

Hello Alberto. I'd like to offer a Welcome to APUG as well.

You've selected some good products to work with for your images. Perhaps you may find the article "Dealing with Dry Down" by Mr Les McLean useful for establishing good print exposures on FB paper.

You can click here if you wish to read ... (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Looking forward to seeing some of your photographs from Spain.

Best, John McC

Bienvenido Alberto!

I haven;t found differences in finding the right exposure between RC and fiber paper. BUT Dry-down may play a huge role in your exposure....

enviame un PM o un email si quieres discturi esto un poco mas

PS> Jorge, many of the cities in latin america borrowed names from Spain such as Cuenca, Guadalajara, Torreon, Loja, etc.

Bienvenido Alberto,

me dá mucho gusto tener otro hispanoparlante en este foro. La fotografía análoga tradicional es una artesanía dominada por anglosajones, y este es un foro construido y dominado por angloparlantes.

Seguramente vas a encontrar mucha ayuda en toda clase de cuestiones relacionadas con la fotografía análoga, aquí la gente es muy capaz y muy generosa, si necesitas algún consejo de cualquier tipo, seguramente alguién te va a ayudar.

Ojalá veamos pronto tu trabajo en las galerías.

Hola Alberto!

Well, that's about it for my Spanish. I do know American Sign Language, but a fat lot of good that does on the computer!

Glad you found film & like it! I also started out with RC paper and I am just migrating to fiber. I took Les McLean's workshop & I agree with John McCallum... check out Les' article... it will help a lot!

Anyway, wlecome to APUG!

Andy K · Jul 11, 2005

Welcome to APUG Alberto. I am sure you will find the answers you seek here!

arigram · Jul 11, 2005

Bienvenidos a la locura de APUG, Alberto.
Quidate aqui...

PS. I'll be in Spain again next week...

adrian_freire · Jul 11, 2005

Hola Alberto.
Soy epañol y creo que no somos muchos por aquí, es mas fácil encontrar hispanoamericanos o anglosajones que sepan castellano. LLevo unos pocos meses en apug y te puedo decir que es un sitio donde se puede aprender muchísimo sobre fotografía analógica. Si tienes alguna duda o sugerencia no dudes en mandarme un mensaje.

unohuu · Jul 11, 2005

Bienvenido, Alberto. Me llamo Lucius (Lucio) y tambien hablo poquito del espanol. Vivo yo en Minnesota. Me gustaria hacer otra viaje a Espana.

PepMiro · Nov 21, 2005

Saludos desde Andorra

Bienvenido. Vas a aprender mucho de fotografía en este for... y también practicarás mucho inglés.

Hola Alberto, saludos desde Gran Canaria.

Tanya · Nov 21, 2005

Welcome, Alberto

Alberto,

I apologize for this being in English only. I am hoping we will all be able to see your photographs in APUG. I would especially like to see any that may have been inspired by absinthe, as it is illegal here is the US.

WELCOME!!!!!

roy · Nov 22, 2005

Welcome, Alberto.

Uncle Bill · Nov 22, 2005
