Guess I'd better intorduce myself.
My name is Ernie and I'm from south central British Columbia. I've been into photogrpahy and cameras most of my life but it's only in the past 10 years that I've become more involved and interested in it. I would be a liar if I said that I don't enjoy sellng the occasional print but don't think I can make a living at photography by any means. I want to enjoy the hobby so turning pro is most likely not an option at this time but then who knows what the future will bring. In the mean time, I want to learn more about photography and hone my skills with film but not forget the fun of just taking a picture.
I have yet to buy a large format camera and hope to purchase one in the next year or so but want to learn more about large format, types of cameras, what to look for, what equipment I'll need, to enjoy large format photography as much as I enjoy 35mm and medium format photography.
Seems funny that the more I get involved with photography, the further away I'm going from auto focus, auto everything and going back to the basics. Don't get me wrong, there is no way I'll part with my EOS cameras but there is something about the larger formats that seems to get my juices flowing.
The other passion in my life is fly fishing. Seems that for me, photography and fly fishing seem to go hand in hand with some days being a real quandry as to what gets picked up and put down, fly rod vs camera.
Thanks for letting me join the forum and I hope to learn lots from my visits here.
Ernie
