Bore Da, Hello from Wales UK.

Hi Every one!

I am very very new to Large format, (waiting for my intrepid 4X5 to arrive) and relatively new to photography which I have sort of dabbed in and out since my teenage years, I currently do some digital photography work mainly as a hobby which also pays from time to time, however I do not rely on it.

I really hope I can learn and expand my experiences with Large Format, so glad to have found this!!!

Welcome. I have a brother who lives in Cardiff. Years ago I took many chromes around his then home in nearby Llantrisant (spelling?) with a Linhof Technika V with 90 and 150 lenses. A couple of years ago we visited St Davids but without LF in tow, only a Sony A850. LF makes one more contemplative of the image as well as the cost of film and processing. Good luck.

Welcome, I’m looking forward to seeing your images. When I lived in the U.K., many years back, I spent time working in Milford Haven (South Wales) and hiking and climbing up to the North around the National Park. Where are you?

[joem]

Yes Welcome, we've been there several time and always enjoyed the place and people very much

Welcome, if you want to learn you have come to the right site. I was born in St Asaph, (LLanwellyn) in HMS Stanley Hospital, recently demolished. You live in a very picturesque part of the world, ideal for Large Format Masterpieces.
In the late eighties I did a swap with a British soldier for four months and stayed at Sennybridge and Brecon while the Cambrian Marches were on. I had a wonderful time with many fond memories.

Thank you so much Mike.

Spot on. South Wales is quite varied and easy access in most cases, I am hoping for calm weather though, I guess that will be the biggest challenge right after my learning curve lols

Thank you, I landed here by searching around and have really found the large format info page so so useful.

I am in Cardiff, although my work takes me all around South Wales and I am always on the look out for compositions. Milford Haven is a lovely place, I consider Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire (being closer to Cardoff) as first option for time away when time is short. Weather is unpredictable though :-)
