Hello to RPF

[Sam Wheadon]

I've just set myself up on this site and am looking forward to sharing ideas / photos / insights with other real photographers. My background is that I have been shooting photographs for about ten years and have now moved away from doing it professionally and am starting to recover my relationship with my Mamiya 7 - which is amazing. I thought it would be good to connect with people online so here I am.

I don't have a profile photo up yet - because I don't know how yet. I am keen to see what people are shooting and am looking forward to getting to grips with how this site works and uploading some images of my own.

Actually I have a series of images of cage fighting in the UK that I would like to get peoples thoughts on!

Best
Sam

Welcome, Sam. Not a big fan of cage fighting myself but I'm looking forward to seeing some of the images out of your Mamiya 7. Pro photog for 10 years? Shooting what? Again,...welcome to RPF.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ditto. Looking forward to your contributions!

Welcome to the forum Sam
This should help with the image posting if you havent done it before Sharing Images
If you want to add a picture to your profile, click the cogs at the top of the page and have a look at the settings down the left off the page that opens... you want to "edit avatar"

I have no love of fighting, but im fascinated to see the images... please do get some up!

Welcome!

Welcome Sam - sounds like you've found the right place.

Plenty of film shooters here - including medium format - so you're in great company.

The cage fighting shots sound fascinating - looking forward to seeing them

Did you just go as a spectator, or did you get some access to shoot?

Welcome to RPF Sam, I'm sure you're going to enjoy the place. I've just had my Mamiya 7 II repaired / serviced so it too will be seeing some action in the coming weeks.
