Autumn 2008 Meeting Accommodation

Forecast update - they still say Saturday's a washout but looking a bit brighter on Sunday.

Get well soon, Sandeha - You'll be missed! Likewise Rob, Stoo, BobF et al. (the missed part anyway!)


I'm setting off in an hour or so.
 
Made it back home, it was such a lousy day as regards the weather but it was wonderful to meet you all. I hope its not too long before we can meet again.

Fintan
 
I am now back at home after Tony confused Limehouse and Hangers Lane

Saturday was a real wash out... but Sunday was fantastic. It seems to me like we just get extreme weather conditions at APUG gatherings.
It was great to meet fellow mates again ... I had a great a week-end.... looking forward to developing the prrrrecious.

Just to say that Jean And I found the weekend a very enjoyable gathering. No pressure, very relaxing, and great company. No snow, just the rain breaking up the monotony of the warm sun! Thanks to everyone.

Tony
 
It was great to see everyone again plus Fintan and TheFizz

Had a fab weekend - its so nice just to spend time talking photography and seeing other peoples work

Did anyone else hang around - the light in Snowdonia on Monday afternoon was just fabulous

Whether I managed to catch any of it on a half decent neg is another matter

I now have over 100 sheets of film to develop - it will keep me going for months

Martin
 

100 Sheets I'm impressed. Hope you've got some great images Martin.

Barry
 
Sorry I missed out on meeting everyone this time round.. I really hope to get the chance to do so again..
However I'm delighted to hear you all got on so well.. it sounds like a great spot you chose.. I really wish I could have been there..

Barry, I am not sure impressed is the right word to describe how I felt when I counted up

Overwhelmed is closed to the mark

I can do 5 sheets an hour at best - so thats at least a minimum of 20 hrs in the darkroom just developing film.

On a positive note, it gets dark earlier this time of year, so I can start at a better time than when I was doing it mid summer and couldn't start until 10 PM and had to be finished by 4AM
One of the pleassures of not having a sufficiently dark darkroom to process film in

Martin
 
I like my sleep ... I would have found some serious reasons to invest in an expert tank yonks ago.
 
Hmm Hmm ....:rolleyes: there was a small technical problem with my alarm clock :rolleyes:
 
To those who were there,

I'm envious and sorry I couldn't make it, despite the awful weather. Anglesey isn't always like that.

How did you get on (photo-wise), what location(s) did you get to and what did you think of the place?

And before you think of it, I don't want to hear about either beer or cheesecake, thanks

Simon.
 
I thought I should log on and say thank you to all that attended for your excellent company, and conversation altogether a very enjoyable, for me last APUG weekend. Now all I have to do is to make time to develop my films that surely contain many masterpieces.

Well, Saturday was a washout as you know, although Neil and I managed a tour of most of the island I think, apart from the area everyone else went to . A few locations were noted for any return visit. Sunday saw us at Parys Mountain, a quite extraordinary place. A vast abandoned open-cast copper mine, perfect for using up a bit of Velvia on multicoloured rocks against a deep blue sky. Shame I had to leave just after lunch as it had turned into a nice fine day, but the subsequent week on the Dorset coast made up for it.

Thanks to all for the organisation and company!
 
where are all the pics from the weekend then? I'm on tenterhooks!
 
How can you afford tenterhooks on a student loan?!

Let's just say I dabble in a bit of back hand Tenterhook dealings. I can get you some if you're interested Frank - they're the best quality and from a reliable source - none of you're cheap imitations here. Just let me know. Don't tell everyone though or they'll be queueing down the street.

mum's the word

Don't take up this offer. They're just poorly modified skyhooks.

QUOTE FROM SECOND LINK:

The skyhook set is incredible.
I was using the moonbolt set first but had a problem hooking the bolts in the moon because of the soft surface of the moon.
I tried coating the moon to make it harder but that did not work, the bolts kept slipping and I was getting complaints from NASA for scratching the moon.
also you need longer chains with the moonbolts, I can hook the skyhooks anywhere I want.
a great product. I hope we dont run out of sky in the future. Until that happens I will keep on using my skyhook set.
