Drat and double drat I was trying to get my retaliation in first. Great to meet you all. Sorry that we seem to have misplaced Peter Elgar.

Not far behind (and talking of behinds, I like your duck Tim!).
Had a fun time today, enjoyed meeting up with you all. As Liam said on the other thread, we will do it again, perhaps south of London.
Anyway, here are five that I like that I took today, I think my favs are the last three...
Those trees...

It's Tim!

Got to agree with George but Tim's Duck is a peach, the DA 50-200 is a must for part of a walk about kit, fanstatic value for money.
Cheers

agreed, and fantastic performance for size and weight too, it just nestles happily in the bottom of my long nosed bag waiting quitetly for when I need it.
It's particularly good value for the price I paid for it, since I got it free with my *istDL2 last summer when Jessops were doing their exclusive deal thing.

Here's a 'Group Shot' of Pentaxers 'looking furtive' taken by 7 year old Hughie Elgar on outdated Boots film (Fuji 400). I developed his film but have not got all MY results; the 120 Velvia will be sent off Monday. Here are a couple on 1995 vintage Pan F ......

Not a peep out of Taliety yet! I'm still working on it. Finally got the computer to run SilkyPix and PhotoLab, but still a bit slow. All I've got to do now is find somewhere to host them, et VOILA, I hope to have a few pics up tomorrow. Sorry, no mug shots, but I could enhance one and produce a reasonable collection of enthusiats
Just discovered how amazing RAW is to work in. JPEGs just don't compare. Glad I was saving in RAW and jpeg, or I'd have thrown this lot.

Hi,
as Taliety and Reuben don't seem to be included above.. well you haven't escaped.

L to R; Daniel - Reuben - Taliety
(Taliety, I'll refer to you as is, as I don't know if you've ever used your first name here, and it wouldn't be right of me to divulge it without your permission)
Just need a closer one of Tim for the full set now.
Cheers

Well I spent the day hiding behind my beard! Thanks for the nice comments about the Drake's behind.
Went to Twickenham today and rattled off 200 shots through my 70-300 FA-J lens. Good day, and we beat the cheese-eating surrender-monkeys!

Liam, I can't access the photo you've posted of the group.
Thanks for the privacy. I've never used my real name first or last on any postings, here or elsewhere, but I may change that, just for my first name.
Tim, I meant to say last night, I'll never look at a duck's ass in the same way again. Terrific shot, I looked at the time and didn't see the beauty you captured.
Cheers

Great shots guys - but way too much hair for me - that's why I always wear a hat to minimize the glare!

seems I got here first, so here's a couple of shots of St. Albans' Abbey..
ist* DL | FA 100-300 (@100) | 1/4000 sec @f4.5 | ISO 200
ist* DL | DA 18-55 (@43) | 1/350 sec @f13 | ISO 200
ist* DL | DA 18-55 (@18 ) | 1/80 sec @f9.5 | ISO 200 | (perspective adjusted slightly)
The last was taken nearly flat on my back, and has been posted as testament to the fact that in a group, you don't feel silly doing such things..
I beleive Taliety has a similar shot..
And as an edit.. the towers add to the spikes on the fence.. of course I intended that exact effect when I took the shot.. ahem.
Cheers
Liam
