We're now back at the hotel. We left the others heading for the lake.

It was good to put names to faces and meet new people, and boy did Glasgow turn on the heat for us !

It will be another couple of weeks before my photos are available, if any are any good that is, since I can't edit them on my netbook.

I'm sorry but I have to say I am dissapointed, TT is a FRAUD the excuse of leaving the meet early because she had a lot to do was simply an excuse to get home and post the first pics from the meet.

Anyway I suppose I should forgive her for making such a good job of capturing my bald patch

As for being Pervs amongst the Daffodils Mr Beginer I can assure you our intentions were quite honourable, this is what I was attempting to capture (Mr Reynolds will have to account for his own actions)

I also managed to snap a few Daffs.

An enjoyable meet, putting more names to faces and meeting again with old friends. The weather wasn't too bad either

I thought today was really good

I don't usually attend these sort of things, but today was good, and the people I met were sound !!!

I arrived quite early and caught the start, by accident, of the 5k run in the park. I started off well, managed to pry the 'fishy' off the camera and had the Samyang 85mm f1.4 on the K7.

The Samyang wasn't wide enough so I put the Pentax 17-70mm on,

Then the voices in my head started saying, 'fishy', 'fishy', 'fis . . . . . ,

Agreed! I'll try to make it to a few more in future.

Sadly I didn't get much in the way of shots that were any good - not one of my better photography days, but it was a fun meet and nice to get to know a few people, which more than made up for it.

The below is probably my favourite from the day despite the slight purple fringing (minimised as much as I know how in quick PP but still visible). A bit cropped from the original as the 55-300 didn't get me quite as close as I would have liked. Admittedly I have a bit of a penchant for shots taken from extreme angles.

Just had a quick look at mine in Irfanview - threw out some really duff ones, but nothing to write home about I'm afraid.
I shall have a look at Alan's later and see if he got any goodies.

Looks like everyone had a great time and stunning sunshine if TT's image is anything to go by, it looks like Alan is stalking Gareth in the undergrowth, not a mushroom.

Nice mushroom Alan, how did you manage to find one of my work colleagues in Glasgow .

Galoot you have produced some stunning strong compositions especially the lights and the thinker.

I agree, nice mushroom, and the first picture of the lights and the thinker especially are excellent shots.

Really enjoyed the first Scotland meet. Let's keep it up.

I didn't have any real keepers from the day, but the best are here.

Still have a roll of film to develop and scan at some point.
