Hi Wasters,

I've had a look around the site, and I know I'm going to enjoy it here. I've always shot film, but only recently sold my digital cameras (Sigma Merrills) and am using the money for film cameras, film and development.

I have a Konica Hexar AF and Nikon F4 for 35mm stuff, and a Mamiya RB67 Pro SD and Mamiya C330s for Medium Format stuff. I'd like to do MF all the time, but the costs do add up quickly.

Hmm...I suppose I should show a shot or two...if I can figure out how to do it.

C330s, 80mm, Ilford Delta 3200:

Wecome Rob.

Nice photos. Love the top two. If that's what you can get out of Delta 3200, I'll be having a go. Usually, I shoot up to 400 ISO but the tones in that top shot are really nice.

All, the best, Paul.

Nice to have you here Rob. Welcome

Another hello from me too!

Paul

Rob MacKillop · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2015, 12:07:34 PM »

And another thank you from me, Paul.

Terry · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2015, 01:05:45 PM »

Another 'welcome' to add to the chorus. Very nice work--makes me think it's been too long since I was in Edinburgh last....

Francois · « **Reply #16 on:** March 09, 2015, 01:34:46 PM »

Just for a change from the welcome series... Bienvenue

Rob MacKillop · « **Reply #17 on:** March 09, 2015, 02:33:27 PM »

Thanks, Terry, and merci, Francois! I like the idea that film is the vinyl record of photography. I love vinyl too!

Bryan · « **Reply #18 on:** March 09, 2015, 03:05:46 PM »

Welcome Rob from another Vinyl lover. I can't stop starring at that second shot, well done!

Rob MacKillop · « **Reply #19 on:** March 09, 2015, 03:23:53 PM »

Thanks, Bryan. Yes, that second one surprised me when it came out!

GrainTrain · « **Reply #20 on:** March 09, 2015, 07:55:36 PM »

Welcome! I too am captivated by that 2nd shot!

sapata · « **Reply #21 on:** March 09, 2015, 07:56:46 PM »

Welcome to the forum Rob. Great photos!
I visited Edinburgh a couple of times, definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

KevinAllan · « **Reply #22 on:** March 09, 2015, 08:19:30 PM »

Welcome Rob - some cracking shots there. I especially like the first and third. I remember photographing the museum atrium some years ago and plan to repeat the exercise some time.

Rob MacKillop · « **Reply #23 on:** March 09, 2015, 10:32:35 PM »

Thanks, guys. Edinburgh is VERY photogenic. Sometimes I have to stop myself from taking what will look like a tourist shot - far too many of them already.

mono · « **Reply #24 on:** March 10, 2015, 01:00:37 PM »

Rob,

especially Nr.2 is fascinating me.
I have no idea how you did it but I like it very much!

Rob MacKillop · « **Reply #25 on:** March 10, 2015, 05:17:14 PM »

Thanks, mono. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you
