Hi all,

Thought I'd introduce myself to the forum. I've just moved to Adelaide for work having lived in Melbourne for the last 10 years.

I guess I'd be classified as an enthusiast level shooter. Never earned any real money but just like having fun with cameras and doing the odd friends wedding. These days, I mostly shoot with a Nikon D90. Believe it or not it's the first DSLR I've owned! Took me long enough. Up until a couple of months ago, almost all my work was done on 35mm. Other than these, I'm also the happy owner of an old Polaroid Model 180 bellows camera and a very old (1937 I think) Reflex Korelle 6x6 that's been passed down the generations.

I see there's a meet on the 15th and I'll try to make it.

I do have a question to finish with - can anyone recommend a print shop in or near the CBD that will do nice A1 or A2 sized prints for a reasonable price?

Looking forward to meeting the locals.

Welcome to Adelaide Daniel.

If you could make it to the meet next weekend, that would be great :)

Print Shop - not in the Adelaide CBD, but nearby suburb:

http://www.blackandwhitephoto.com.au/

I have not used them myself, but understand the quality of their work is very good and reasonably priced.

Welcome aboard Daniel.

I agree. They're the ones I use for all my printing needs. I haven't done large amounts, but the quality has been good the times I've used them.

See you at the meet.
