North England Monthly Leeds (and local meets) thoughts thread.

Sorry chaps, I know I'm changing the subject a bit here, but the last time I watch any boxing Muhammad Ali was called Cassius Clay Someone explain that to Rob

Been up Cumbria again this weekend, around the Langdales and had a walk to Cathedral Cave. If we go back up for another meet I'd say its worth a look

Its free and open to just wonder in. Although I managed a quick photo with just Lynn in the shot, it was fairly busy but if we were to call later in the day I imagine it would be empty. Its about 10 minutes walk from Little Langdale, parking's tight but manageable, especially if we had a quick pint in the pub

Woah that looks amazing! Great shot Phil... and my house was called Langdale in high school. I was Captain of course

Thanks Tim the cave certainly looked to have loads of potential, biggest problem was it being so busy when we went in.

There's actually people stood at the back of the massive pillar and people were walking up behind me wanting to get in If we could visit when it was quiet some light painting and wire wool would look good

Edit for spelling mistake, should have read 'quiet'

I'm thinking early morning or late afternoon light... and smoke bombs

 

[Mardybum]

Tis pretty impressive by the looks of it. Don't think it can wait til next years lakes weekend, might have to get up there this winter before Xmas! Maybe a northern massive interim road trip for the day! Sunrise-sunset and a spot of cave light painting!

Super moon and lunar eclipse with blood red moon Sunday night Rich, should be interesting, only trouble is the eclipse is between 3am and 4.30am!......on the plus side, the moon rises around sunset so maybe some good opportunities to be had early on

Can't do this weekend, except Sunday night after 18.00, as I have the kids. I think I'm going to take them over to the Yorkshire Air Show on Saturday though with the long lens.

 

[Mardybum]

That Yorkshire air show is expensive!! Save your cash and check out the public footpath at the end of the runway ;-)

Cheers.

Should be no problem for you Andy, going by the quality of your shots on the forums.

I didn't think it would have been my thing, but I've been having a go at very basic flash/OCF, not overly successful, but its been something different

I'm keen phil, I've not got much plans for January so pretty much available most dates. I'll look forward to this happening as it's something I've fancied doing for a while now.
