Hi there,
I've been into film photography for a couple of years now and my wife will tell you that I'm getting a little obsessed with it so I thought I'd sign up here so I can talk to others about it rather than bore the pants of my wife with film, chemicals developing etc. She says that I have reached a new low in how dull I am becoming, I'm sure it's just because she doesn't understand, film is exciting..... isn't it?
Anyway, I mainly shoot 35mm black and white, home develop (but new to this) and scan digitally.
I shoot with many different cameras but recently I have decided to try and mainly stick with one camera/film combo to try and hone my developing skills, I feel I have loads to learn and this way I can gauge any improvements.

Cheers
Mr B
 
Here are quite some obsessed people...
Welcome to the club!
 
Welcome to the forum. Don't worry you are not alone. my Mrs has exactly the same attitude too.
 
Excuse me Mr B

If your wife (i supposed she is Mrs A) thinks that you are obssesed, and your answered was to sign in, i'm affraid you have proven she was right. Jokes apart, put your straightjacket on, and have a seat in this Beautiful Insanity. Welcome!
 
Welcome Mr B and what part of Cornwall?

.......and also home of Hayle Towans, former site of the National explosives works, Harveys foundry and the famous copper smelter slag blocks of which much of the town is built. A fascinating place! Welcome aboard!
