Scotsman in Maryland

[Raiseth]

Just discovered this forum. I retired from the miltary as a medical/forensic photographer and have worked for reuters and a few other companies. Digital imaging dampened my interest in doing it for a living and I have just got back into taking b/w photos for a hobby. I have a speed graphic, med format yashica (yuk!) and a couple of my good-old-standbyes 'Nikons'. I have my darkroom in my laundry room and I enjoy developing and printing street scenes, architectural and landscapes. I prefer Tri-X 400 and also Plus-X. I have been using tech-pan for astro photographs, although I never really mastered that type of photography. I'm originally from Scotland (Dunfermline) and spent a great (26) years in the military (both countries). Look forward to learning from my fellow photographers, thanks.

Hi Bill - I'm an Englishman about to move to Scotland! I'm also a fellow Speed Graphic owner, still kind of learning how to use it and so on... looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Bill, welcome from Hawaii. I think you will enjoy our community. Feel free to jump right in.

Welcome from an Englishman living in the Borders 6 miles from the beautiful Scotland. You've found a great forum here, enjoy it. I'll say hello to Scotland for you in the morning when I pop out to make some photographs. I could also be persuaded to imbibe a little of that wonderful amber falling down ater on your behalf.

I live in Gaithersburg, too. Let's go shooting one of these weekends. Many of us DC area APUGers sally forth together at least once a month.

In what part of town do you live? I'm in the Kentlands.

Greetings from Westminster, Maryland

I'm not Scottish, English or Hawaiian. HA!

Welcome to APUG, Bill! This is a fine place to be, since you can really be anywhere you like here!
Looking forward to your future posts.

Welcome welcome! I'm a fellow Celt (Welsh ancestry via adoption... long story), and also in the DC area. Great to have another big camera duffer out there!
