Hello from the UK
« on: May 30, 2013, 01:03:37 AM »
Hi All,

I'm John, a new member here, based in Lancashire in the UK, having stumbled upon the forum from a random search.

A bit of background: I've been shooting film for years, mostly Pentax 35mm (M42 & K mounts) but over the years also Lubitel, Mamiya C330/645 & Bronica SQ. I lost interest at some point in the past and started shooting d*****l a year ago. Now I'm getting restless for film again - can't really explain why though.

Film wise I mostly shot Kodachrome & Ilford FP4+, HP5+ & Delta 3200 in 35mm and Velvia, Provia, Ilford FP4+, HP5+ & Delta 3200 in 120. Currently shooting my way through my stocks of expired 120 and organising developing some old rolls I've found.

My latest camera is a Zenit EM, which I have yet to load.

That's a quick introduction, hopefully I'll be able to contribute something soon.

Regards,

John.

Welcome, fellow Northerner  ;D

"Getting restless for film again" is a good thing. Don't fight it.

Looking forward to seeing your work and, as Leon mentioned, don't forget to have a good look around the site, not just the Forum.

Thanks for the welcomes,

Until I've tuned into the site more (and gathered some suitable images), I've linked some examples of my work here with more examples here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/john-halliwell/collections/72157633545259287/
