Hi there smhead...  

We are very proud of how friendly the gang here is and are glad you've joined us.  There is every level of knowledge here so feel free to jump into the forum and set up your album too in the Gallery no matter if you have just gotten your first camera today or have been a professional since the time of large format cameras.  

If you need help, the Shoutbox works well, and is a great way to pass the time too.  :)  

Make yourself at home and enjoy sharing this wonderful art form here at

:cp:

Greetings and thanks for the welcome.

I have been looking for a forum for photographers that is distinctively Christian, glad I found one!

I am a father of three and married to the most precious wife, 18 years of God's blessing with my lovely bride. I am pretty much a hobby photographer, although I do creative work professionally. I'm a dual-work fellow at the moment, working full time and pastoring a church as well (ordained last year, hope no one minds the link to our church in the sig).

I shoot both digital and film, I prefer film because I really enjoy the process and shooting older medium format cameras. I enjoy digital immensely too but old-school analog still has some edges over digital at times. I process my own b/w film and have been known to use cameras much older than me. On the flip-side I've been using Photoshop since it came out and love the ease of digital.

It will be a pleasure learning here and participating, I'm sure!

In His service,
Scott

Scott, with your interest in film photography, I thought you may find this topic on Photography Cafe interesting.  We have a member who is at "Centre Stage" for a couple of weeks or so and we all ask him questions.  One of his comments last night was that he does shoot film from time to time.

Have a look.  He's a terrific photographer in England and I love his floral work.
