Hello from Pittsburgh

If you're east of the city, you're not far from me. I live a little south of New Stanton. Welcome to film and to APUG! PM me if you want to go shooting or if you need help with film stuff.

Welcome to APUG.

I've put a few rolls through that Canonet this spring and summer, also adding a Yashica Electro (which needs some love and repair) and, most recently, a mint Canonet QL19 G-III.

Descending further into the madness, I decided to start shooting B&W negative and developing myself, and to that end, I currently have my first two home developed rolls of film (Tri-X) drying downstairs as I type this. Hopefully I'll get a scanner up and running this week and I'll be sharing some favorites from those rolls soon!

Until then, here's a few from the QL17, on Superia 400:

Hello, and welcome to APUG from South Central PA!

Griz :)

Welcome and.... go Pirates!

Welcome from an ex Pittsburgher. Come meet some other midwesterners the last weekend of September. Shawn and Winger come to these gatherings. We have a lot of fun enjoying ideas that we have in common: Photography, film, wetplate, history, prints, food, good people. You all come.

Thanks everyone. :)

Winger, you're pretty close to me, and yes, I'd love to go shoot sometime. Before getting into film, I was/am still doing a lot of nature stuff digitally, but I'm still trying to get a feel for what I like shooting best with film.

jp, that sounds like great fun. I think I'm already scheduled to do some camping & fishing at the end of September, but it sounds like it's a recurring event with an enthusiastic following, so perhaps I'll be able to catch the next one. Thanks so much for the invite!

Welcome. Lots of good people here. You'll be happy you joined.

Look for a similar heading "NE OH Gathering" and a date in the spring.
