Hello from Ottawa, Canada!

Hello from Ottawa!

I've been shooting film for a year and a half, first with a 35mm spotmatic, then other 35mm cameras, moved up to medium format. Recently I purchased a 4x5 bender off an APUG member. Looking forward to doing some work with it and wrapping my head around the LF world, I think I'm getting there. Haven't shot anything yet with the bender, hopefully soon. First set of film is Arista 400, I'm hoping to move on to RPX 25 afterwards, my favourite film.

Welcome! I'm in Ottawa as well, but I've had no time to shoot these last couple of months.
All the same, if you need some help or have any questions, give me a shout.
Enjoy your new camera!

Welcome! I'm out in Vancouver.

Hope that wherever you are in Ottawa, you're staying far away from Rideau et Sussex at the moment.

On the contrary, it would be totally cool if you lived at Rideau Cottage!

Thanks everyone! I wish I was near downtown... with my new camera! But, no such luck/misfortune, I'm a few KM away. The videos are wild.

Nope, I'm out in the sticks, but thanks for checking in, Les. The sinkhole is a few hundred feet away from our national legislature.
Regrettably, all members of Parliament have been accounted for.

What a day to make an introduction from Ottawa!

Welcome to the LF forum! I hear there are some deadly potholes in Ottawa? Even deadlier than Edmonton's!

ok, I gotta stand up for The 416 and say Toronto has the worst potholes around. Some are absolute rim busters but fortunately I've never met those. We get the dreaded freeze/ thaw cycle which just breeds those things.
