Welcome!

[Chriscrawfordphoto]

I'm really excited to have my own Mentor's Forum here on RFF! I want to say thanks to our "Head Bartender" Stephen for giving me this opportunity.

I have been working on a series of tutorials on exposure metering techniques, starting with a basic intro to handheld meters and continuing with more advanced techniques for incident metering and use of a spotmeter. I'll start posting those later today.

If you have any tech questions you want answered, please post them in my forum and I'll do my best to help. I think it would be fun to do photo critiques, too, if you have a photo you'd like me to critique, start a thread and post the photo.

Fantastic new Chris - thank you in much anticipation to you and Stephen. RFF is going to be even more of a place of great learning.

I agree!
This is a positive for us: info from a well focused person with a wide view of our shared hobby/passion.

Wonderful Chris!
I like your pictures and am emulating them somewhat in my own work.
Your clear instructions are a real help in the darkroom, and I think your Forum will be of value.
Thank you for taking the time for us.

I don't recall Ft Wayne as so photogenic as you have shown it.

Are you from Ft. Wayne? Over the years, I've encountered a lot of my fellow Hoosiers, many from The Fort, scattered around the country. I was one of them; having lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico for a couple of years before returning to be close to my son.

Nice to see you get some recognition for all you've contributed over the years, Chris. Looking forward to what comes next.

Thanks, Steve.

I've got the first exposure tutorial, a basic introduction to handheld meters, posted now.

Hooray for the metering tutorial.

Thanks, Bill. I have several more to post. One devoted to using a spotmeter, one for incident light metering normal subjects, one for incident metering backlit subjects, and one showing a hybrid incident/reflected metering technique for backlit scenes.

I have just read your metering tutorial. It is excellent!

Looking forward to more tutorials from you!

Not from Ft Wayne, but Indianapolis. However, I spent a few months on a (computing) project for Navistar several years ago. And so spent a far bit of time exploring the area. I was living in Florida at the time, commuting by air once or twice a month.
