Hello everyone,
I have been shooting for a long time but ventured into film about 5 years ago and absolutely fell in love with it. I have always been fascinated with large format but found it intimidating and stayed away. All of that changed recently when I saw a deal on Craigslist for a 4x5 Sinar Norma that I knew nothing about. I decided to see the camera just for fun and instantly fell in love with it and had to walk away with it. It came with a Samson Hercules tripod which is equally as amazing as the camera. I have spent many hours cleaning and patching the bellows to recently have the opportunity to shoot with it and boy was it fun!
Long story short - I am in love but have SO much to learn. I have been lurking here as a viewer for about a week and there is so much great information here.
If you're interested, you can see my 1.5 week long venture into large format on my tumblr at http://tumblr.netsoft2k.com.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here.
