Hello from Sydney

[Andrew Nichols]

G'day Australia.
My name is Andrew and yes I am the self same trouble maker from the large format forum trading under the name cosmicexplosion.
For those who don't know me I shoot 8x10 on a sinar and a Kodak 2d
I took up photography 2 or three years ago and am only now really starting to get results. Primarily because I was mentored by Gordon undy of point light
And not because of all the books I bought although subconsciously maybe.
I still have far to travel but shots like this one I can now do on purpose. This shot is a print taken with Iphone of an 810 neg. but you can see there is a good neg though the print needs a bit of work.
I was stuck with a number ilford 4 filter. And should have had a number 2.5
Any way I am very happy with the fact I am getting what looks like a photo.
Instead of grey stains.

I was originally printing with no filters and wondering why it was without contrast.

Any way next week I take hold of a box of c41 chemistry. And start shooting colour!

Woo hoo

Any way I don't take any thing personally so if I say some thing that is controversial or offensive and you call me up on it I would rather you do that that be a princess about it.
I mean shoot a roo
We are Australian, we can Handel it
Or maybe not.
Maybe we are to thin skinned.
Any way we are here for photography.


Here here!

[Lachlan717]

About bloody time you signed up here!!! Glad to see you're here.

[Andrew Nichols]

G'day locky ya fat bastard

Glad to be amongst my fellow brethren

I will try and be as boring I mean behave my self as much as possible.

Let's face it words need the breath of life.

I'm yes sir I did post about 810 enlarger.

I am stroking my beard about it.

Thanks for the welcome all two of you.

[Ray Heath]

Yeh welcome, sounds as if you've somewhat of a rep. I've been called a troll more than once by some who can't maintain a discussion.

So make a post, start a movement, express an opinion.

[Andrew Nichols]

Well I have not had the troll title.
I guess a lot of photographers are cerebral types.
Any way and I am more of a larrakin
But any way
I suppose I was erroneously bringing baggage from LF forum
But yes let's get into it.

[Andrew Nichols]

Well the truth is I entered the lf site in such a way much like a bull in a china shop so I garnished all the old hats at web stabbing
Admittedly I was doing the audacious taking on 108 as my first ever camera
So it rolled on from there and have gone through a rough and incomplete rite of passage in a sense
But in a way I was hoping for a fresh start over here and should not have brought my baggage so forgetaboutit
I actually really want to master the strait shot and print
That's my focus however diluted with the advent of being stuck on a body!
