Had me worried there for a moment JL...had to check the EXIF to make sure I wasn't snapped using a Nikon :eek:

Thats it.....She's going to kill you. Stone dead. With a blunt instrument.
 
Well. I now think I should have stayed longer at the meet, but it did take me almost till 6pm to see all the stands I wanted to see as it is so....

As for albums I think the Queensbury duo album is just awesome. I saw it at the weading show on Sat with one photographer. Downside is you have to use their software to be able to get the album.

Innova was really interesting too. PhotoRag at 30% less? Yes please. The main expense for me was the fashion lighting kit I purchased at the Bowens stand. Been trying out the beauty dish tonight. It is so nice. I should have gotten this ages ago.

The best deal at the show? Phase one P21 with free Mamiya 645 and 80 lens for £7999!!!!! I almost pulled out every line of credit I have.
 
Glad you all enjoyed yourselves. Am I jealous ? You bet I am. :lol:

Jimmy, great set of photo's, hows about a few names to go with 'em. Please.
 
Love the photos of the monkey! I'd like to make a funny comment, but as I hardly know poor Marcel, it would be most unseemly, and he might ban my account too :)

I see that's the Sigma 200-500? Looks a beast. What price did they have on it?
 
I'm h - a - p - p - y, I'm h - a - p - p - y

I know I am, I'm sure I am.....

A quick test shot of the 300mm f/2.8 VR, taken at f/2.8 & 1/60th focussing on his right eye, it was composed like this as I wanted to see what the bokeh was like...

Just got to save the pennies now. :shake:
 
So, who is who in the pictures - I recognise one or two, but it would be good to know who the others are..

I managed to not see anyone, but I was in one of the Canon shows @ 12

Jacobs (stand next to Canon) had good 5D prices
and there's £100 cash back if you buy during the show
(and another £100 on the lens that went with !)

you might wonder how I know these things :nuts:
 
Same we couldnt make it but woke up in pain and couldnt face the ride down (were going to catch a lift with in-laws who were going to camping show) but sitting that long in a car and walking round was not a good idea.
Sounds like you all had a good time, and hope to see some of you soon.
 
I had a great day, good to see everyone from TPF even though I didn't get around to speaking to everyone.

I'm the one not on the photos, but for those who were in Wetherspoons, I was the ugly one with a beard and a blue shirt.
(Actually, I'm not sure that narrows it down :lol: )

Anyway looking forward to the next one - the 20th anniversary. We'll have to have a section of Wetherspoons fenced off.

Oh, I got an Olympus strap, a badge and a bean bag, I only wanted the bag, I didn't realise it was full of goodies :thumbs:
 
We (me and Tattoo) missed the meet at wetherspoons as we were sat on the floor outside the hall restaurant drinking coffee when I realised it was 12:45, time flew by in there!

We did manage to meet a few of you on the Canon stand as I walked straight across the frame as Marcel was taking a self portrait.

Got a couple of freebies but nothing special, pens, sweeties, a neck strap etc and treated myself to an Arctic Butterfly off the Jacobs stand. Cleaned the sensor on my 350d with it last night and the sensor looked like someone had sneezed on it. It definitely needed a clean :)

It was a good day but my feet were sore last night :)

hacker thats a lovely shot of me. Im sure I was trying to smile....Must have been smiling inside, you know me....can't smile wide enough normally :D
 
Youre on the ones I took (I really must process those! lol)

Cant get me wrong, I am not on them :p Yay! :D

Yeah you cunningly ended up next to me and avoided all my shots :p At least I learnt you can be bribed with onion rings though :)
 
Betty has a good nose for onion rings... she'd only been in the pub 2 seconds and she smelt them before they even hit the table :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbs:
 
I went today !! God it was busy !!
I got to play with the new Samsung(pentax) 14.8Mp due out soon.. can't wait !!
else it was usual stuff different shed.. ;)
oh yeah then stuffed for £8 for 2hrs parking...
Worse than NCP !!

not that I'm bitter.. lol
 
Me and my Dad just got back, we had a good day fondling Cameras. didn't manage to get many freebies but I got a friend from the Lowepro stand for Monkey!:

:thumbs:
 
I wish I had come up, i totally forgot about it.......

i would have put on a false moustache and a beret, but chatted up Inaglo as she looks lovely.....

it's them nails what does it :)
 
Stop picking on me you big bullies :D:D :razz:

Mmmmmmmmm, onion rings... drool...
 
We could do with organising some method of identification for next year (hats ?) with TPF logo on.

We've got 12 months to get this organised, we need something tasteful but obvious, any ideas ?
 
Show didn't really do anything for me, just signed up to a mag Ive been meaning to for ages,
Wish i had gone on motorbike as traffic was lousy, but easy run back at 7pm time.
I nearly choked when i asked on the sigma stand to try a 10-20 to be told we don't have one with us the bloke seamed gob smacked himself.
i think a dressed theme would be good for next year to recognize tp members (ooerr).
Super hero's or face paint Robin hood hats, wigs.
I think tp members may get more photos than the paid models.

I was going to suggest tee shirts with Marcel's picture on the front of them.... but seem to have eliminated that idea instantly :thumbsdown:

Bob

Marcel that would be sooo wrong!
It means your eyes would be on all the girls ... hmm! best not go there! :lol:
 
Has anyone seen Photostar since Focus? Hope she got her new 40D home safe :|
 
I havent heard from Carole since I got back, and as her numbers were on my stolen moby,
I cant contact her either.
I do recall her saying something about having server issues though,
so Im hoping she is just waiting to get those sorted.
