Hi everybody. I'm based out of Texas USA. Been a photographer for 50 years, and I still love it.

Hi and welcome to the forum Jeff.

Howdy Jeff. I got my first SLR 49 years ago, it was 126 cartridges and 127 rolls before that... so I don't know how long I've been loving it, too.

Good to meet everyone. Practice makes better photographers, so keep shooting.

Good on you for sticking with it since the bad old days of film - I didn’t. I started 45 years ago, got tired of spending good money for crappy pictures and gave up for quite a while. Digital was a game-changer for me.

Shooting film on a commercial level had it's challenges. But we were able to overcome by finding new ways to shoot. A guy I worked with was a great cinema technician. He took a movie camera, that used 72mm film. So each time you pressed the shutter release, it shot 1 frame. So we were able to photograph entire pro sports teams, without the worry of reloading. the film roll was able to shoot 960 frames.
