Well, another good day. The weather turned nicer than forecast and lots of new and old faces (goths and togs alike). Including a GothTog (if that's the right expression).

Along with the obligatory breakfast, coffee, beer and fish & chips a fun day.

Didn't take quite so may shots this time, but happy with the few I have. Now I just have to develop the film with the rest!

And to think I nearly didn't go, but the fresh air seems to have cleared my cold a little.

I'll start a new thread in the Your Photo's section for the pics, unless someone beats me to it.

Glad to hear it helped with your lurgy.
Looking forward to the photos.

good to meet you guys, albeit briefly, am now home and uber shattered as been up 18 hours.

filled about 4-5 memory cards..so expect to see some pictures around November .... 2015 !!!

Brekkie was nice and lights going off quite entertaining.

Was it you having the having the toast

ahhh but the lighting was so romantic when the lights went off

Great day out, good to meet some old and new faces.

Now down to the hard bit, trying to find a good shot.

You were lucky to be in Whitby yesterday. I was there today and it rained, and rained, and rained. Followed by even heavier rain. I was absolutely soaked and so was the K-5/18-135mm.

Tomorrow I will see what I managed to shoot, but I'm not opening the card door until everything has thoroughly dried out.

I'm surprised there were any Goths on the streets yesterday, here in Leeds a friend said he was thinking of building an Arc

I feel for the Goths, they've looked forward to the weekend and no doubt gone to a great deal of time and expense with their costumes, and Whitby isn't the best of places to be when it's raining.

There were a handful of very wet Goths, many of them sheltering in cafes and under canopies. It would be a great pity for them to ruin their outfits anyway.

My pictures of the day were other things really, as there was no real opportunity to photograph Goths in resonable circumstances. We were all too wet and cold....

However, it was a good day anyway as we all reveled in common adversity!
