RIGHTYO!

It is London.

It is 10 am.

It is London Victoria Train Station. Best place to meet is outsite WHSmiths by the Escalator. There are two that lead to a Bar (not open at this time -s sorry Chris )

From there it is a short walk to Buckingham Palace, and St. James' Park, the nfrom there you have either walks to Parliment, Trafalgar Square or Piccadilly Circus and then on thrugh to places like Soho, Leicester Square.

All of which depends on weather of course.

Let me know which way you want to go. See you all Soon.

p.s. What HAS happened to Rob ?

If anyone else fancies a weekend or even a day in London just add your name & meet us at Victoria Station.

A great opportunity to experience other peoples styles & techniques and get a look at different equipment.

nowt wrong with that lensmeister that was half the fun of the last one

Lensmeister · Aug 24, 2006

I know ......... I still want one of those 50mm f1.8 lenses ... one day

lostprophet · Aug 24, 2006

I'll be bringing my EOS 1D mkII so for a small fee of £5.00 you can touch it :lol:

LaFoto · Aug 24, 2006

Heya, I am in the UK now already and I would like to know where and when we are going to meet (again) on the Sunday? Will it once more be Victoria Station? I need to meet with you on that day somewhere I can lock in my somewhat bulky bag ... since I am staying for all in all 12 days, including days of walking in all sorts of weather (in Cornwall), I have to bring just a bit of stuff, you know. And since on that Sunday I'll more or less be on my way home (anyone happening past Stansted Airport on their way home???), my luggage will be with me, you know?

That will probably be me, then. It's only a slight deviation from my route.
Contact me and we'll discuss.

PS Will not make Victoria Station (too seedy) at that time. Nor will Antarctican. We shall try and make contact later around town.
And there's no need to worry about my presence at the meet-up. I can be edited out of any group photos that appear on here :lmao:
