Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Yep, I too want to thank you both for your hospitality. And although I did have a little snooze, I did enjoy everybody's company. The BBQ was very tasty especially the asparagus. :)

Mr and Mrs Sheepie
Thank you so much for arranging this maximeet. It was wonderful to see all of those familiar faces...and the new ones. Great food, wine, drinks, company and conversation. Lovely to see all of those Lowepro backpacks lined up against the wall. It is the members meeting each other that makes this forum so special. Thanks again.
Regards

Re thanks:

It was our pleasure to have you all over - I totally enjoyed the day, which actually finished off with a few people staying (+ some extras that were invited for the evening) for a BBQ to celebrate my Citizenship from a couple of weeks ago.
So it worked out a rather long day - up at around 6:30am and to bed well after midnight ;)

I figure we're lucky enough to be living somewhere that has the room to do this, and we certainly enjoy having people around, so we should make the most of it while we can :)

A great way to spend a Saturday - we'll have another one sometime in the not too distant future :)

Yeah thanks mate, had a really good time, especially the framing session. Really nice and informative. Looking into doing this now and cut down on cost!

Also putting faces on handles

Thanks

Sounds like a great time, sorry to have missed it but I was somewhere close to nowhere :shock:

I certainly hope to be around for the next one,

cheers,
