I think we may be pushing it to get it to you before you go, tbh... it's only just landed with Scott. Still - I suppose it's down to the others and their shooting schedules...

Just to put it out here I'm away from the 21st until the 10th, so if my go comes up in that time best skip me!

TheBigYin · 07-08-2011, 10:04 **Thread Starter**

You're definitely safe there Sean - you're 2 places after Andy, so if it's unlikely to get to him by the 22nd, it's deffo. not getting to you by then.

Don't worry people, I'm in no great hurry to get the camera back - i'd sooner people had time to get the shots that they want (and are paying good money in postage costs for) rather than rushing things for the sake of a week or two. I certainly don't want to get into skipping people and having to re-jig things - I fully expected delays around this point for holidays, much the same as I'm expecting people taking longer to shoot as the weather gets worse - 5 rolls of film COULD take us the whole year, who knows!

(It'll give me time to save up for some more colour chemicals anyway!)

Well Andy, I'd say it's pretty safe to say you're not going to get the camera before your trip away now - haven't heard anything from Scott since the camera landed with him on the 5th, so I reckon Graeme and Pete have plenty of time to shoot their stuff before your return (5th/6th September ??)

Andysnap · 11-08-2011, 12:20

Yep, I'll be back home by the 5th and raring to go.

Andy

TBY, i think ill have to give you my address in Manchester for this (well, whats left of it) because im moving back for uni in september

All done with the holga, sorry for taking so long, been hectic at work!

TheBigYin · 12-08-2011, 08:24 **Thread Starter**

Scott, I've PM'ed you the next address as requested. No worries about the timescale, it's more important to get the shots you want.

walsh · 16-08-2011, 09:29

Holga is on it's way!

dubnut71 · 19-08-2011, 13:21

Right ! got her this morning, just to be absolutely clear its shoot, wind on shoot, wind on shoot? and I have no idea of what the previous exposure is that I am about to go over the top of? very funky!!!!!!!!!!!

TheBigYin · 19-08-2011, 14:48 **Thread Starter**

If Scott's gone according to "the program" then he's made his last shot, without winding on - counter should be on "5". If that's so, you shoot, wind,(6)shoot,wind(7),shoot,wind(8) and at that point, post the camera away to Pete

What I suggested last time was if you want to know what the last exposure was for the "double", PM scott and find out, but don't tell anyone on here - we don't want to ruin the surprise

Umm - shouldnt that last one not have a wind - if dub winds after shooting frame 8 I wont have a double exposure on the begining of my set

TheBigYin · 19-08-2011, 18:54 **Thread Starter**

actually it should end "...shoot,wind(8), shoot, then post... " - I forgot his last shot

dubnut71 · 28-08-2011, 18:12

Ok Pete (Big Soft Moose) PM me your addy mate and I will send her on!!!!

big soft moose · 28-08-2011, 18:19

pm sent - ohh its nearly here , its nearly here ... i'm so excited i think a bit of wee might have just come out

TheBigYin · 07-09-2011, 10:29 **Thread Starter**

Hey Pete - how's it going with the plastic fantastic... i've kind of lost track of things for a while - are you ready for Andy's address yet, or has the weather been as dreich with you as it has been here?

I was away from the office until today, but a suspiciously large parcel was on my desk when i came in - I presume its helga the holga but ive been so busy i didnt open it (it may also be a horses head from one of my exes

) - I'll have a look tommorow.

zap me andy's address anyway and i'll post it on as soon as i've shot my load.

edit: erm , no thats not what i meant - I know i said i was excited but not like that....

Andysnap · 08-09-2011, 07:23

Gross. I don't want it now......

Andy

RaglanSurf · 20-09-2011, 17:53

Have you got the Holga yet Andy?

Andysnap · 20-09-2011, 18:37

No mate, not been here over the weekend but I can't see anything from the PO to say they tried to deliver it.

Andy

big soft moose · 20-09-2011, 18:46

Sorry guys helga the holga is still with me - I'm up to my neck in work and the weather is dogshit so it'll be at least the weekend realistically before i can get her on her way , i'll post here to let you know when she's travveling

Andysnap · 20-09-2011, 18:50

No problem Pete, I've got about 5 films in different cameras to get through yet.

Andy

TheBigYin · 20-09-2011, 18:57 **Thread Starter**

I fully expected things to slow down a little once we got outside the summer season tbh

big soft moose · 05-10-2011, 18:10

sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, nick

helga is all parcelled up and ready to go travelling , but this saturday will be my first day off in three weeks of working on average a 14 hour day, so I have had slightly more pressing matters than getting to a post office in office hours

do we have a smiley showing a tumble weed being shoved right up....

Are you just saying that *** I'm short?

Busy is good, being self-employed and not busy is not a good combination.

Just a bit bored now the weather has turned and thought I'd poke the thread with a stick and see what would happen.

I've checked t'interweb and can't find any smiley/tumbleweed interface.

I look forward to seeing Helga when she finally arrives, TBY did say it would probably last until Christmas, I think he might be right

TheBigYin · 05-10-2011, 18:30 **Thread Starter**

I'm fairly sure I didn't specify WHICH christmas though...
