Some people and local photographers that I've known calls me weird and unusual.. Read on and you'll find out why.
I'm a 16 year old high school junior. Instead of shooting digital like everyone else. I got addicted to film about 1.5-2 years ago. This is weird because I am not influenced by anyone at all... None of my parents have anything to do with the arts field. I learned photography by watching YouTube videos and messing around with a friend's Nikon D60. Oh and thanks to Google too.
I am a photographer on the school's yearbook staff. But that is just to keep me occupied. Outside of school, I shoot primarily landscapes and I've shoot for a few local magazines and designed posters for my school's dance show.
My first camera was a Canon T2i with a standard kit lens. After learning more about photography on that camera, I realized that the resolution is not enough for me. Since then, I have sold it and bought a Nikon F801. 2 months later, I found out about MF and LF. So I went out and purchased a Bronica ETRS. After seeing the somewhat still small negatives/slides. I got a Franke Rolfix 6x9 and a old Bucsh Pressman 4x5 with a 135 f/4.7 lens that came with the camera.
I develop my own MF and LF B&W film. I'm only using D-76 and HC110 for now, but plan to experiment with more developers later. I shoot color slides exclusively on MF and LF, RVP 50 and RVP 100 to be specific.
Throughout my MF and LF journey, I have found this site to be extremely useful. They have helped me a lot, particularly at understanding bellows extension, image circle, reciprocity failure, etc... I would like to thank every one that have participated in this forum. Your responses have helped me a lot in understanding the world of LFwhether directly or indirectly.
I am also looking for a spot meter and some 620 spoils. If you have one that you're willing to sell me, please send me a private message.
I hope to learn and contribute on this forum.
Thank you.
