Longtime nature photographer finally made the jump.

Greetings from Massachusetts.

I started taking pictures in 1995. I started *making* pictures in 1997~8.
I started darkroom printing in 2002.

I mostly photograph nature and events.
I spend a lot of time on Cape Cod.

I have been wishing I could dive into LF since 2004.
And now in 2016 I have recently been given a 4x5 outfit.
And I intend to go in head first.

Welcome to large format DS.

Welcome from a former MA resident! I didn't get into LF until I moved out of MA (boo hiss ) You've got great places to shoot up there!

Welcome. I'm at the other end of the Bay State. Wish I were at the Cape this week!

Welcome. There are quite a few of us here in MA.

Welcome aboard! You're in a photogenic part of the world, and if you have questions about LF photography, this is the place to find answers.

Good luck with it. There are a few of us around here...

I loaded a Graphmatic full of Fomapan 200. I am not that familiar w/ this particular stock. Only ever used couple rolls of it in 120.
I made some mistakes loading the graphmatic.
I decided to have some fun anyway, maybe some are ok.
The shutter is in need of a CLA.
I hedged my bets and exposed 4 sheets... and destroyed one with a graphmatic mistake and with a shutter T error.

But I find learning-by-doing very fun.
