Its funny how you make friends with all different people, have a good chat and then go home and think.... "now who was that I was talking too?"
I think I got to know a few people, havn't a clue who they are on here though!

11. Wez doing his bit of TP advertising/Strap modeling
12. Contemplating the next shot (while I focus on the camera body for some reason)
13. L lenses everywhere!
14. Mike looks longingly at all the lovely Canon gear, wondering why he made the switch to the dark side.
15. The biggest kid in the zoo
16. Someone was a bit peckish
17. Someone else was just a bit scary! and kept their camera under a lovely yellow duster !
18. Jan (I think) having a great time, while everyone else looks on.
19. Wez getting into the foliage to get his shot
20. Small group shot to finish. Pete, Matty, Wez and Andrea

Some good portrait shots amongst those ... the one of Ian is particularly good!
Is that a lesser spotted Moomike I see in there too!
My god, so many images of DF smiling ... we must have more TP meets ... well get rid of that sulky expression yet!
Only got a few people shots to add but here they are anyway...
CT
Jan (looking pleased to see me)
DF (smiling AGAIN)
Last two taken by DF, cos he pinched my camera (as well as my monopod but we wont go there!)
Tsukiyomi (I think)
A smouldering Lemon

Now Iv'e looked at all these photo's & I think Iv'e worked it out !! the ones with those big black things & some with long white bits sticking out front & hanging around in the rain are the togs, the intelligent ones are the animals. Is that right ?

Always pleased to see you Wez but not in that way, proud that you might think so but alas just a small thing to point at people, it goes from 70mm to 200mm when I twist it & is f 2.8,I dont know what that means but I am told that it's big. Oh by the way thats a camera on my shoulder !

haha, nah it is just my lazy processing. Auto leveled and sharpened..the grey sky seems to be giving anything I auto level a real washed out de-saturated look
13. L lenses everywhere!
That's me in the blue jacket.
Had a great day - hopefully there'll be another meet soon I can get to!

I've really enjoyed looking thru this thread, had some good laughs, animal pics are fine, but can see them most of the time, however, the lot less frequently seen, lesser spotted togs are much more interesting, particularly with captions
wish we could have spent more time with everyone, but the couple of hours we had was a bonus, as I really didn't expect to make it.
