New guy from Portugal

Hello everyone!
I must confess I stumbled across this forum by accident -- user (there was a url link here which no longer exists) shared a recent project of mine (you can see his post (there was a url link here which no longer exists)) and I found the forum because of it.

That said, it was a very happy accident because I really like what I've seen so far, so I'm probably going to stick around if that's OK

I'm a portuguese photography student that also works as a photography assistant in a very digital world. I've been using film and alternative processes for some of my personal projects, though. And I'm planning on doing it more and more because I really like the process and the end results.

I recently built a room camera with a friend and I'm thinking of building an Ultra Large Format Camera (basically a portable version of the room camera) so I might ask for your help on that subject.

So, thanks (there was a url link here which no longer exists) for finding my project and sharing it here! Really made my day.

Let me know if there's anything I can do for you guys and I'll see you all around, I guess

Have a nice day,
Diego

Welcome to apug. You will probably spend a lot of time here and you will find useful and interesting information here.

Hi Diego - welcome to APUG! Your project looks interesting and I'm sure you'll get a lot of help here, should you ask for it.

Thanks, guys!
I took a quick look around the forum and this seems like a pretty cool community. I'm sure I'm gonna love it

Welcome to the APUG site, Diego. There is always room for one more....

Good luck with your thoughts on the ULF camera project too. I use a LF camera often myself.

Thank you!
I'll open a new thread about the ULF (or maybe just LF, I'm not sure yet) project as soon as I gather my thoughts around it. And I'm probably going to need some help from more experienced users because I have a lot of doubts haha

Hello and happy APUGging!

Thanks a lot, everyone!

Depending how big you want. People have used vans or trailers converted to cameras.

A Camera Van is definitely in my plans, but not for now. Right now, I want to start by building a Large Format Camera that is portable enough for me to carry.
In fact, I'll open a thread about that right now and will start working on that as soon as possible.
