it appeared to be dry in some of them!
If anyone's interested, my digital photos from (and of) the event can be found here. For some reason, I appear in a couple, so someone must have prised the camera from my hands.
I usually try to adapt camera to job in hand, and for the interior photos of people the high ISO (plus image stabilisation) makes the A7R2 my camera of choice for the job. There are also a number of outside photos, for which I apologise, but again it was simpler to use a digital camera for what were essentially record shots.
Nice to see @RaglanSurf's Chroma too. Did everyone else's stay in their bags?
They were out on the coffee table most of the time. I've no idea whether anyone took any photos of them though.
When we get a nice day and we're both free, I'll get some pics of Andy using the Mulberry for you
I believe there was an attempt to get them to breed, but I think it had about the same success rate as the Edinburgh giant pandas.They were out on the coffee table most of the time. I've no idea whether anyone took any photos of them though.
Thanks Janet but you really don't need to include Andy in the shots.....only joking Andy, love you really

Some good shots there Stephen, nice to see another F&C meet. I'm definitely going to the next one though, assuming it's in the dry season

I wondered if we should have a (day?) meet in Liverpool or Chester (again) with the express intent of showing off the Chromas?
Mine came out of the bag 3 times, but just for dry runs of setting up the camera, with help and instruction from the others. I did hope to get at least an interior shot with it, saved a bottle of whisky from the recycling for the purpose, but it was dull and gloomy and we were busy getting wet elsewhere!
BTW it turned out that MRs R apparently still hadn't worked out that I'd got a Chroma, despite my telling her (in a couple of different, perhaps too devious ways). Then Janet let on so I had an uncomfortable half hour or so...

I thought I had, and on looking back through the photos I found that I did indeed have a couple with the tabled Chromas in, although they weren't the point of the photo. Alas, the film was T Max, so the Chroma colours will only become apparent if someone hand tints the photos
I didn't personally use any large format while away, which was down to the wind and rain.

It seems to be a normal reaction when people see me with a cameraWhy am I finding that piece of cheese so amusing?
AgreedAbsolutely brilliant, love it.
Yep, that bit definitely needs posting up here for posterity!why am I not in there after my brilliant performance as 'man swatting away giant fly on beach'.
Great stuff and you obviously had excellent weather!!I didn't manage to get as much drone footage as I'd hoped due to the weather, but the bits I got I'm please with!

Absolutely brilliant, love it. However, a couple of things, firstly why am I not in there after my brilliant performance as 'man swatting away giant fly on beach'. And. secondly, your cut aways are a bit abrupt perhaps, maybe a fade from scene to scene might work better, although I freely admit that I know nothing about it and may be talking complete gibberish.
Agreed

Edit - it's a pity @Andysnap wasn't using the Mulberry. It would be a brilliant bit of footage for @stevelmx5
A few from me:

I really liked the second to last section with the shadows of the clouds moving under the drone.
A few more. Rollei on Ektar.
I think I'd better watch this when I get home rather than on the train....I might startle my fellow passengers!One of nature's large format photographers, the Grant. Seen here in his natural habitat. Usually a gentle beast, it can become aggressive when startled.

Unless of course it goes viral, and Carl cuts you in on the ad commission fees. Cracking set of shots from you just above, too.Makes sense to me.
Censored already!Video unavailable.

Impressive photos, but I'm even more impressed that you know the names. I never do...
For some reason it was in a 'draft' state, but it should work now??
