New New Zealand 4x5 Photographer

[ecoleica]

Hello everybody! My name is Steve and I have just taken the plunge into the world of large format. I recently purchased a Horseman monorail kit at a local auction house and Im currently waiting on my film order from B&H photo (100 sheets of HP5 and 20 sheets of Portra 400!). I have recently been shooting with a 120 back and I cannot wait to make some big negs!! Hopefully there might be a couple of other kiwis that like large format out there

Cheers

Sorry, no: none of the other three inhabitants of New Zealand are photographers. You're on your own.

:)

Sorry, I just couldn't resist. It could have been worse: I could have made a hobbit joke... Welcome! I look forward to seeing your photographs.

Hi and welcome aboard, at least from the same hemisphere :)

I'm impressed that you're managing to focus on LF despite the other distractions in NZ at the moment.

Hope you have fun with the Horseman!

Welcome from across the ditch. You have a great country to shoot LF in. Hope to see some images posted soon.

Welcome from the shakey land of the long white cloud. There are a few of us here, although most are probably watching the rugby ;-)
