New Guy From Tyler, Texas

[toddaaron]

Hi

I'm new. I joined yesterday. I've been considering large format for quite a while but have not quite done it yet. Still learning about all the options and what is good for what, etc.

I guess I can't actually say I've never shot large format. I started there. My first camera was a pinhole camera I made in an art class in 7th grade and it took 4x5. But that was in about 1980.

I currently do a mostly landscape/cityscape with digital equipment (Nikon D800E). I enjoy the process of going out and shooting the images more than playing with them on a computer, so I want to get into something that requires a lot more time and effort on the front end (including all the possible options with movements of these type cameras). Seems like the ultimate way to slow down and enjoy it more.

I do like to hike out to find images that are not easily accessible to people just driving by. Again, more of an involved process on the front end.

Anyway, thats me in a nut shell.

Thanks

Thanks! Awesome finding someone else in here from Tyler! I've got to get to California again before long. I was close in December - made it all the way to Arizona.

Thanks!

That may come in handy sooner than I thought - I picked up a camera today and I can't find much information about it out on the internet.
