Hi all;

This is my first post, nice to meet you all.

My name is Peter and I live in central Scotland (UK), a small town called Alloa, close to Stirling, I'm originally from (Belfast) N-Ireland.

Been into photography for 25/30yrs, although I'm only a few years shooting digital as I cut my teeth about 25yrs ago on Nikon FM2n and FM bodies, large format 5x4, medium format 6x7/6x6 etc, manual focus is a great learning curve, and I'm self taught in the dark room printing only black & white, but I don't possess a darkroom anymore.

Been shooting with Canon for nearly two years, but only recently jumped ship on the Canon club and on the verge of buying a Nikon D800 body soon.
Only today I've done a deal for a mint/used Carl Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 Diastagon T* ZF lens, I want to get into serious landscape photography. I know nothing about the D800 body as yet, but can't wait to get stuck in here on this forum and post my body of photographic work.
I've been shooting quite a bit of floral photography, and a little abstract, so now I want to focus (excuse the pun) on landscapes, exciting times ahead....!!!


Regards;
Peter

Hi Peter! Welcome to the site. I'm originally from Dunfermline and went to uni in Stirling so knew Alloa very well many years ago. Now living in France.

You couldn't have picked a better forum to join as everyone is friendly and supportive. Can't wait to see your shots. ;)

Hi Peter and Welcome to the forum. Your plan for the D800 is an excellent one - this camera is often compared to MF and will be something you will thoroughly enjoy. BTW I spent several years at QUB - a great school - have have not return since 1981. Hope to see your pictures from the D800 soon.
