New member from up North

[mpirie]

Hi guys,

New member to this forum (though a member of several others for many years) living up in the North West Highlands of Scotland.

Been using film for the past 40 years and large format for about 15......never really gelled with digital probably because i spend the whole working day in front of computers.

The darkroom is nearly finished (taken 2 years so far) so can't wait to start digging into my archives.

Regards,
Mike

Welcome to the darkside ;-)
Whereabouts in Scotland do you live?
I love the North West Highlands!

Shouldn't that be "dark slide" ?

I'm up near Ullapool on the Gairloch road. Weather here just now is unbelievable!

I know that region, we´ve been there!

Welcome to the forum. I'll be up your way all being well in about a month's time, so hold the weather for me please.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Stephen, I can't guarantee the weather, but can guarantee the midgies

Oh dear, yes!
The midges are the only downside of beautiful Scotland!!

You may be forgetting the miserable experience of being 'soaked through' by the smir... but at least it does not 'itch' quite so bad afterwards.

If it weren't for the midges and mist, you wouldn't be able to move for tourists

It's only May and the roads are already filling up !!
