Hello from Banbury, Oxfordshire

emmettleffel · 25-09-2006, 20:20

Hello, my name is Doug and I learned photography whilst serving overseas with the RAF in Aden. (AFME Photographic Centre, Khormaksar)

I've recently gone digital with a Canon 300D, 350D and various digi lenses but still like to use medium format for transparancies. I've just acquired a wooden 5x4 field camera and will be trying that out soon.

I've been married for well over 400 years to a lass from Kilmarnock and have seven grandchildren.

I hope to learn a lot from this site, especially from you CS2 experts

Doug
