Crash or Soft Landing, here I am!

[Erl]

:angel:
Just landed! ....

Found myself in the RFF.

Looking around to get my bearings.

Looks like I will fit here.

Just need to "fiddle" a bit to get my head around the technology that drives this space.

I am a multi-camera'd person, primarily RF these days, but with a history of Hasselblad. More details later, if relevant.

I prefer film, but use digital, both RF and DSLR.

I am a bad delegator, consequentially I do ALL my own processing, both colour and B/W.

BTW, I will share in the "free beers" and conviviality I saw being offered in another thread here

Welcome to the forum, Erl! 🙂 How far was the flight?

 

[Sonnar Brian]

Welcome aboard. Most of the members use all types of cameras, RF, SLR, Digital. It's a fun place.

Hah! You'll fit in just fine. Welcome to the asylum and be ready to spend money because GAS will infect you very soon ... 😀

Welcome to the forum, Erl! 🙂 How far was the flight?

Well, I started in Australia, but still not sure where I am now!

Gotta work out how you guys (& Gals) include personalized images and other details in your posts. I am sure you don't type them every time, do you?

So are you Erlandson from the Leica forum in Germany by any chance?

 

[SolaresLarrave]

Oooh! 😱 Peter keeps a tally! 😱

Just kidding! 🙂

Welcome, erl! Now... I wonder if you know what GAS stands for, because I'd bet you've had it really bad without knowing of it.

Have fun! 😉

 

[Erl]

Yep!

(There seems to be a 'stats man' everywhere I go!)

🙂)

 

[Erl]

GAS!

I daren't think about that one!

Well I have, but won't publish the thought!

 

[SolaresLarrave]

Just to put your mind at ease, Erl, here it goes: Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

Got any? 🙂

Erl - welcome from another Aussie. There's a few of us lurking...

 

[Erl]

G A S

Oh Yeah!

I have just bought two(2) digital cameras and a 35mm lens (which I don't need now, but that is another story).

Just to put another spin on it, GAS where I live has just hit $1.30/litre!!

 

[Erl]

G'day Chris,

Nice to "know" some of the company.

 

[peter_n]

Yep!

(There seems to be a 'stats man' everywhere I go!)

Nah but I remember names. 🙂 Once you said you were from Australia I made the connection.

This is a good place with friendly folks - I think you'll like it. Plenty of Aussies here too...

Yea Peter, I recognised him as well i.e. "Erl from Australia" Nice to have you over here Erl. I think you will enjoy this board. The atmosphere is very polite and sort of like walking into your favorite pub where everybody knows your name and they are always glad you came...... hey, I should make that into a song! 😛

 

[Erl]

O.K. Now that I have kicked my shoes off and got comfortable, I guess it's time to work on uploading some images.

That will be a project for the W/E I reckon.

(Have I just made a rod for my own back?)

 

[egpj]

They got's rules about uploading here Erl. You can only do 5 images max per day. Also, somebody sent me an email and told me not to upload crap either. Wonder why he sent that to me..... HEH!

 

[back alley]

'somebody sent me an email and told me not to upload crap either'
