Whitby Goth Weekend - April 2010

Hi All

Thought I'd beat you all to it by sending the first photo from the car!

me thinks not all there were Goths?










Some odd sights there today.

Good to meet the people from this forum.

Best regards

Just got back to Durham. Here's my first offering from the Goths Festival. I got in close for this one with the DA*16-50mm lens at 16mm.
It was good to meet quite a few Pentax Forum friends again.

Just a quickie from me, I'll post more when the PP is done, and Gary, those are "Steam Punk" Girls you snapped.

All in black

A few more...






It's important to talk to your subject to put them at ease...


And coffee stops are mandatory...

'Tis steampunk
And possibly members of another forum I pop onto. I know they were arranging a meet there.

I forgot to add. I particularly like David's second offering.

Wish I could have been there

Cracking picture.

In the flesh......




no section 44 here.

And a few more from me:

We couldn't decide if these girls were of legal age to photographed without their parent consent






Though some girls took thier mums along, just imagine bringing your first boyfriend home, "Oh by the way, Mum is a Vampire"






We even ran into Old Abe Lincoln and his consort.






And was I the only one to do a bit of detail work?

I'm seeing some really good images here from everyone. You've certainly made the most of it.

Well this is my first of many, thanks for a great time everyone, including stopping for cooked breakfasts, coffee, beer, fish and chips!!!!!

Best line I heard all day.

I was up at the abbey around mid day. The area was packed with Canon users who seemed to be organising a fashion shoot of sorts. My wife was close to me as we also took shots whilst the girls posed.

I asked her "did you put new film in your camera"? (a Canon Ixus 870IS).

One of the Canon users looked over and then said "you don't need film in that mate, its digital". To which I said "Oh, right, thanks for that".

I was stood holding three DSLR's.

I hope the penny dropped with him. The wife just smiled.

Regards

I doubt it .. he probably had a good laugh about it down the pub with his mates a bit later on.
