> 
> - Profession/Study: Photographic Wholesale / Sales Manager / System
Manager, studied in Electronics.
> 
> - Country: Johannesburg, South Africa
> 
> - Personal history of photography: Amatuer, want to do U/W photography
(hence diving), not proffesional.. lots to learn. BAD when it comes to
processing of any print.. but slowly getting the chance to practice my
printing skills.
> 
> - preferred subjects: People, horses, nature, macro, buildings etc.
Practically whatever I can do (within reason)... Macro/low light are the
sections that I am keen on doing more of.
> 
> - materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry): Ummm... Been in the
photographic industry.. I have access to 95% of whatever I can get in the
industry. As for IR photography.. well I am not sure of what
chemicals,paper, filters to get for myself.
> 
> - format (35mm/medium format/large format): I have access to 35mm and
Medium Format. Though can also (with permission) use Large Format as well.
> 
> - Other strange hobbies: Electronics, Scuba dive, shooting, computers,
reading (variety), Extra heavy duty trucks (drive).
> 
> - How did you find out about this list: Always been interested in Low
light type photography, requests by various customers over the years has
tickled my interest and so with internet.. I have finally been able to get
access to a group who (hopefully) would expand my minor knowledge of
photography.
> 
> - Expand on anything photographic you like: As I have mentioned before..
I have access to almost everything I could ever need. I have worked in the
industry for many years (Family business); I do have an interest in
modelling photography but that fails in comparison to be able to photograph
items as close as possible or in unusual situations. 

I will have some idiotic questions.. but as I see.. there are only silly
answers. I am hoping that by "lurking" in the background for a while.. I
will get the correct feel of what everyone is doing (hopefully I wont throw
a spanner in the works).

If there are any questions that I can answer.. please let me know (if I
can).

Regards
