Hey Rory and welcome! The gang down here in Cork seems to be growing. Look forward to meeting you. Weather and work permitting us apuggers in Cork try and get out for local shoots when we can so we'll keep you in the loop.

I've been informed by the wife we are going to Ireland (someday, not soon).

Her family (one of the many Ahearns) is from there (southern, I believe) and she'd like to see her "old country" (I'd like to burn up a bit of film, also).

Someday - someday ...

Make it sooner, its got a lot to offer.

Cheers for the welcomes. Mel - looks like you are a neighbour of mine (Whitegate)! Rory

Hey all,

I thought I would say hello, before I start offloading the thousand questions I have about equipment and processing. I am back and forth between digital and analog, but I prefer using my Mamiya 7 over all.
I'm not good at introducing myself, so have a look at my photos instead: www.barothi.com . See you later,

Zoltan

Hi Zoltan,

Welcome to the Irish corner of Apug. I also own a Mamiya 7 so you're in good company

Welcome to Ireland Zoltan. Your work is very impressive and shows a unique approach to picture taking. If you wish to join a camera club as well as APUG check out dublin camera club.ie

Cheers
Vincent

Welcome Zoltan, those Mamiyas are pretty cool, I've just got a 6 recently and love it.

Enjoy APUG and post often.

Hi Zoltan and welcome to the Irish corner
Really lovely stuff over on your website, looking forward to seeing more.

randomway · Aug 25, 2008

I was thinking about joining the Dublin Camera Club, but I am not too eager to go to the city centre in the evenings to say the least... I might just have a look tomorrow to see what it's all about. I would like to find a community where I can talk about art, dicuss absurd ideas and not being laughed at.... but I am not sure whether a camera club is the place to go.

Fintan · Aug 25, 2008

The clubs aren't really for everyone but I always recommend people to go join one for a few months and see how you like it [or otherwise]

Of the clubs, I'd rate DCC the best in Ireland personally.

Hello,
I'm a relatively new SLR user, started with a digital and to get to grips with using that bought an OM10 to help me understand aperture and shutter speed and use those skills in my digital photography...

However, I now own a bundle of OM lenses, an OM4Ti and a Contax G2!! I have been seduced by both colour and B&W film. I don't do my own processing yet though, however I may join DCC and take an interest.

Vincent Brady · Sep 25, 2008

To join a camera club is a good idea, you will meet like minded people and see lots of work from others. If DCC is near that's the one to go for it has a large membership from novice to advanced worker and new people are always welcome. The club meets every Tue. night at 8PM. In the meantime welcome the Irish section of APUG.

Cheers
TEX

Welcome aboard Duffarama.

Mirko Lazzarin · Oct 10, 2008

hello all,
I am Mirko, an Italian living in Galway (and in Ireland since 2003). I am a newbie in analog photography since I started just 3 months ago shooting films. I am attending at the moment a darkroom class at the Galway Art Centre.
I have joined APUG few days ago, having the feeling that this is a real, complete didactic tool for my growth (technical and critical)..
I will keep an eye on all the events that wil be listed in this "Irish corner"
Ciao
Mirko

thefizz · Oct 10, 2008

Good to have you here Mirko, hopefully we will meet you soon.

Peter

Mirko Lazzarin · Oct 10, 2008

Thanks Peter,
I was just having a look at the fpworkshop website...You will hear from me soon!!
I hope to make it for the Toycamera day.
Cheers

Mirko

Fintan · Oct 10, 2008

Hey welcome to APUG Mirko, great to have you onboard!!

Vincent Brady · Nov 15, 2008

Cheers
Vincent

hi all,

Jason here, member of Cork Analogue Photographers, from Wicklow but living in Cork for the last 5 or so years, am planning on retiring home though (just another 30 years left ) i own an EOS 1v HS and an old AE1 and a very old pocket bellows camera which uses 120 film, which i don't get to use very often. i do love using the 1V though, great camera. i have a darkroom kit, but haven't set it up since moving.
