I am so, so ,so, sooooo SORRY
I had a nightmare weekend and to make matters worse I left my phone at work so I couldn't even phone you Rob to say I wouldn't be able to make it.

Love the pictures, looks like you had a great time AND I WILL BE THERE IN SEPTEMBER

Sorry for the delayed response, I've not been on for a few days.

Nice write up of the day Rob. I'm glad you didn't mention about my camp pose, that could have been embarrassing. :er:

I'm looking forward to the next one and hope to meet more TPF members.

Thank you to Rob, Neil, Tony and Chris for all your tips, and making it the great day it was.

Excellent photos - feel free to add your settings to the photos - personally I like to see what ISO, focal length, speed etc., are for the photos - helps us not so confident ones to recreate similar images

Download Opanda's EXIF Information viewer. When it's all installed, you can just right click on an image and view the EXIF data - I leave all mine intact even when I'm posting here - so you'll be able to see what I edited it with as well as what I used to shoot it!

Here's a sample of the amount of info which is encoded in one of my pictures:

Rob loves his little green square box on the dial don't you Rob ?

PlasticSpanner · May 1, 2006

I found out what the green box is for yesterday at my sons 2nd birthday party! :lol:

It's for when you give the camera to a friend to use to get yourself in some shots too! :lol:

A few shots from my films I finally developed. I gave up waiting for Jessops to complete my order for processing chemicals and ordered them from NovaDarkroom instead!:thumbup:
