Well the sun is shining, the windows need painting and the grass needs cutting (again) but time to do something useful.... Assuming we want to do this on a Friday or Monday, looking at my diary I can do the following days.... Mon 6/8 Fri 10/8 Sat 11/8 Mon 13/8 Mon 20/8 Fri 24/8 Fri 31/8 Mon 3/9 Can ...

Only slightly. I live on a hill but Kath was in London on Friday so I went to pick her up from Didcot Parkway (3.5 hours to do 50 miles). :evil: Roads shut everywhere so cut across country. Got to a village in Oxfordshire and ended up driving through 2.5ft water (Jeep Cherokee, water under doors but...

STARBUCKS???!!!!

I suggest you do the Bath bit of the possible places then. The rest of us will go where we can get decent, english, TEA.

I bet you drink lager as well.

Hi All, Working on the list. Here are a few options. Trying to keep it within 20 mile radius so that we have a reasonable chance of meeting up for lunch and in the evening. Severn bridge at Aust (can get right below the bridge) Westonbirt Arboretum (will check on tripods, good tea shop) Tetbury (fin...

OK all,

I'm working up a list of sites with details and will contact any that I think may need prior clearance. I'll then suggest a few dates and ask people to let me know which they prefer.

I'll find a pub or two and set these up these as meeting points with times.

Hi Barry, I'll see what I can find; the South Cotswolds is not known for industrial sites but there are some great churches, villages and landscapes. Anyone else got any preferences? What I am thinking of doing is a 2 session day.... I'll provide a list of possible locations and a meeting place at l...

Sooner rather than later - this month or early August I hope.

I agree about English Heritage, and Welsh Heritage is even better in my experience. You are not far from the wild lands (they have great castles).

Looks like we have us a convoy....I'll see what I can sort out. On the NT thing - there was an article in Pro Photographer Oct 06 on an interview with Chris Lacey of the NT Photo Library. Picking the bones out of this.... Only 2 ways to take pro photos inside Paid NT grounds - you need a Property Re...

Sure - given the apparent rarity of these screens, what mark-up should I apply? I was thinking of 2-3000 percent.

Or pehaps at cost....

Deter no; soak yes.

I agree - there are significant geographic 'communities' to allow local informal meets with little travelling. I am happy to organise one around the S Cotswolds if people let me know they would like one. Great way to learn for us less experienced shooters.

Emailed Dave at SS to ask when likely to get my order sent about a month ago..."about 3 months...."; sent email to Badgergraphic and conversed with Jeff. Ordered another screen with USPS $21 delivery on 13th June - arrived today 26th June. Looks great now time to see if improves my MPP. May have a s...

This is the largst archery tournament in the world and is held every day from Sunday to Sunday; all days starting at 10.00 except Wednesday (longbow day) which sta...

I ordered a SS 5 x 4 a couple of weeks ago. Looks like I'm in for a bit of a wait.

We seem to have quite a little congregation (is that a good term for large format photographers? Answers on a postcard...) building up in the souh west. How about another local day out. Not that there is much to photograph....
