Charles was right! Have you seen the weather forecast on the BBC website :lol:
Could this be a first ... agreeable weather for a workshop??
Or have I just scuppered the whole week having offended the Rain gods of Keswick :oops:

Paul,

Many thanks for arranging this workshop. I had a great time, and have just posted off a pile of 5x4 film to Peak Imaging. The weather certainly obliged this time around, and it was nice to meet up each evening, and chat with all the attendees. Photography is too often a lonely occupation, so these workshops are a great way to overcome that.

BTW, I've managed not to think about the Ebony 6x17 for 24 hours now. I will resist the urge to spend more money... :)

David.

Yes: thank you Paul for organising this one. The weather was certainly splendid as were the colours. It would be nice to have your pictures to put on the website. This time I know who you are and I will not hesitate to harass. :wink:

I look forward to hearing from you.

Apologies for the poor quality - I'm still trying to get my head around this scanning lark :oops:

Owwwwww!! That hurt :lol:
Granted it was taken on a roll film camera but .... I did compose on the ground glass screen (upside down & back to front), the camera was on a tripod, I used a cable release ... now grasping at straws trying to justify my use of medium format :lol:

oh yes, it uses LF lenses?? Okay, okay ... its a MF shot :oops:

So, to use a 'small' camera, you had to stand on your head, facing the wrong way ??? :shock: :lol:

Well, we did state that LF starts at 100 sq.cm. so I guess it sort of qualifies :roll: No, seriously, having had a go at using a Fuji 617, more power to your elbow. Of couse, you do realise that, given your affectation for strokable cameras, you could end up with the ultimate wooden panoramic camera ? :twisted:

Well if you're thinking of buying it, get in quick and save yourself £1300!

My order for the 45SU has just climbed in price since I ordered it last month, by £900! :shock: :o Robert White are now offering them for £3465 PLUS VAT :!: :cry:

Looks like no Summer holiday next year, to pay for it!

Hello Nigel,
Sorry for the slowness: I will be getting the pics up shortly - I am just up to my eye-balls with work etc. Boring, but hey! Paul: can I use your pics here? David: any chance we get to see some of your pics, since you had such a successful time? Anyone wanting to get their pics on to the website, just email them to the webmaster address.
Thanks.
Charles
