I too am sorry I can't be there - no, really I am!

At least I didn't commit to this one, as I was pretty certain from the off that I wouldn't make it... :rolleyes:

Have a great time, and great light.

Thanks Rob for organising the weekend, and acting as our guide, it's appreciated. Thanks also to the others that attended, for your company, and for making the event so enjoyable.

Why thank you Phill, I feel that a major part of the value in these meetings is the interchange of ideas, and the opportunity of seeing others work in-the-hand, as opposed to rather poor representation that we normally get via the internet. I thought that all of the prints show were made to a very high standard, and it was interesting to see where others interest lay, together with techniques used.

Hi to one and all

It was great to meet you all on Saturday – finally putting faces to names – and a heartfelt thank-you to the organiser(s). Sorry I couldn't make it to Creake Abbey.

Did anyone get a chance to shoot the old cocklers' sheds at Wells?

Took the words right out of my mouth, Dave. Many thanks to everyone for making it such a great weekend. I really enjoyed it. Nice one, Rob!

Great to see the regulars again and put names to new faces too.

I hope to see you all in the Spring!

Well thankyou all - I feel quite flattered (and Knackered)! It really was another great weekend. I learned loads and saw some lovely prints. The accomodation and food were really the iceing in the (cheese)cake!

Who will post the first shot from the weekend I wonder???

Here's to the next one!!!!

Yup, thanks to Rob for showing us around, and it's nice to put faces to a few more names (which I will have forgotten by next spring, so you'll all have to come to the next one too!).

Thanks due also to the weather gods who once again spoilt the BBC weather forecaster's fun by refusing to rain on us despite the forecaster's best efforts to convince us that it would - even to the extent of installing the sun on the Sunday (somewhat appropriately) for our enjoyment...

Was also very interesting to see such a wide range of prints from people: alt-proc, some very complex work in silver and a whole host more. Very inspiring, and not a little humbling...

The accommodation was very good too, with excellent food. Just wish there was a hotel/B&B in the country that did not think people always want the central heating on in the bedrooms at night!

Cheers, Bob.

It seems that we should organise a workshop on the theme - How to operate a radiator valve safely - with a sub-theme; - how to open a window without falling out. Should make a pleasant break from yacking about photographs.:D

In the case of my room, it would have to have been: "How to hack through a live electric cable without killing yourself". There was no off switch on the night storage heaters.*

The open ground floor window invited unwanted guests (and the sort of unwanted night time guest likely to turn up in rural Norfolk does not bear thinking about)... but I opened it anyway and tucked the camera gear at the head of the bed. I would have slept with it, but I though that was taking things a bit far, and may had led to "looks" in the event of my oversleeping and being discovered cuddling my Bronica by the maid...

Is that a telephoto in your pocket or...

Cheers, Bob.

*For non-Brits, this is a unique (it must be unique, I can't believe any other country would come up with such an absurd nonsense) form of heating that (allegedly) stores cheap night-time electricity and releases it during the day. This high-tech equipment consists of a heating element threaded through a pile of bricks in a metal cabinet. It works even worse than it sounds. It heats up the room during the night and by lunch time, all the stored heat has gone, requiring you to turn on local heating at normal (high) electricity prices during the evenings when, of course, you are most likely to need it.

That would be a technical workshop then. Marigold gloves, and cut the red wire first, that sort of thing. I suppose we could run it in conjunction with a will writing seminar, just to tidy things up.:wink:

The warmth was actually a rather pleasant change for me (attendees of the weekend will understand, God knows I spent long enough boring everyone about it! :rolleyes:smile:

I thought the Mill wasn't a bad spot (of course, I'm biased!)... ...with the possible exception of the shower which seemed intent on causing me grievous bodily harm! :smile:

Bob - I decline to believe that anything you could get up to with your Bronica in the privacy of your own room in the wee small hours of the night would raise eyebrow(!) in Norfolk... :D

(Apologies to the locals - couldn't resist!)

Actually, here in Norfolk we usually colour the live wire brown. Must be some quaint rural idiosyncrasy...

I understand that, when it came to perverted night-time fondling, a Norfolkman's sister would have been at greater risk than his camera. But that was in the days before the invention of the bicycle.:wink:

Only since 31 March 2004 when these coloured cables became available!

You would then be using the New (Harmonised) colour scheme (BS7671).
:D

Barry

I prefer the American monochrome wiring scheme: Black = Live, White = Neutral. Or is it the other way round?
