Might do a 'What's In My Camera Bag' video at some point... Seen hundreds of them but only a few are actually any good...

Join a 356 flickr group that you can gain inspiration from and get support... Support and encourage 3 other photographers who are also 365ing with the same start date as you...
Good luck...

a) might be in London for D&D (a Theatre thing)... If not I'd really love to be there...
b) 9am is possible... 10am would be better
c) A pub carpark in or around Haversage makes sense (as David said)
d) I'll break out the climbing guidebooks and get back to you...
If I can make it (will know by the 8th) a car share from those in the Bfd area would make it more affordable for me... Happy to drive mine or passengerise in anothers veehical...

Thanks Dave. It was a rather foggy morning for the first one. I made a cheeky detour on my way to work to grab it.

Appreciate that this might be something that photoclubs can enable and I see the advantage in sharing what could be quite expensive.
I've seen internet voucher companies offering small group studio experiences so this is why I wonder if any members can help.
Thanks for any ideas
Personally I'd steer clear of these 'experience' companies and join a local club (or group - Facebook is of use here) meet people steal their expertise and borrow their gear...

I've had M/A and currently the FA versions of the 28mm (and taken what I consider to be great shots with it) but it's not a lens I use often...
When out with my camera I'm more likely to use my 35mm or 100mm lenses than my 28 (and unfortunately my fifty)...
It sometimes seem to be either not quite wide enough or is slightly too wide... (The 50mm in comparison is often too narrow or not long enough)
The only other wide lenses I have are the kit (WR-version) and a Vivitar-A 19mm, neither of which can quite match the IQ of the FA28 (although I do like the FoV of the Viv)
Is 28mm (and to a lesser extent 50mm) a focal length that's lost (possibly phrased badly) on digital or am I just looking at it in the wrong way?

Most clubs will have a syllabus on their website... Check them out, see if there's anything coming up that you fancy, go and if you like it cool, if not, no harm done...
