Hello folks,
Can't help thinking I'm almost a legitimate poster as I sit here in Sydney awaiting the arrival of my shiny new Chamonix 045F-1. Anyway - I will be flying into LA on Wed 7 Aug, picking up a car and will have until Sunday morning to get out and about and point my new gear at some of your incredible US offerings.
At some point I will be meeting up with the illustrious Hugo of Chamonix fame and the rest of the time plan to be out and about enjoying and attempting to capture some worthy frames around the region. I have considered Yosemite, or even heading east towards Arizona - perhaps the Grand Canyon??
Anyway - I will probably be shooting Portra 160/Velvia 100 in the mornings/a'noons and B&W the rest of the day. It will be partly a learning mission along with getting over jet-lag ready for 3 intense weeks of business in Canada (and missing my wife/kids of course). So chilling and enjoying are key.
So if anyone has any location suggestions, including any large format galleries to visit - or even if anyone would like to meet up for a few clicks (and a beer of course), that would be wonderful.
Cheers and many thanks for your help,
David
PS. I will have my 4x5, a 150 and 210 lens (and may have the use of a Schneider 80 XL...). I've also just picked up a mint Sinar (Zoom 2) 612 back.
[**Amendment: with jet-lag I'll probably have to keep a little closer to LA than suggested above - perhaps within a few hundred miles??]
