Well hi everyone and greetings from my bit of Australia.

I joined the forum a week or so ago and have spent many many hours reading through hundreds of posts when I really ought to be working!

There is such a wealth of knowledge here - it is extraordinary. And a credit to the LF community.

I currently shoot landscapes on DSLR but am feeling like I want to move towards something with perhaps a touch more zen - and perhaps a bit more artistic integrity. After looking at some of the landscape work posted here and elsewhere I was immediately taken with the quality and tonal range of the images.

I hope to get myself a hike-able 4x5 field cam in the near future (I have been furiously reading recommendations and pros and cons) and jump in to this new format with both feet. I know I have much to learn but I am really looking forward to the journey and I am sure this amazing resource will help along the way. I do at least have some prior experience with film - mostly black and white 35mm.

I expect to make many mistakes. But I am sure looking forward to the ride.

Look forward to bumping into you around the place.
