Yes David, it is Julie, and I should be there on Saturday, not staying over this year so may try for an early start and meet you all for breakfast.

So I'm probably the last to post eh?

First up is a lady some of you may recognise from the Goth weekend pictures posted some time ago, (think red hair and vampire teeth) here she is in Steampunk attire enjoying an ice cream.

I think Saltaire with its Victorian mill backdrop was a good location to snap this chap, I don't remember giving him a card so if he reads this I hope he'll contact me for a copy.

My ankles and toes are killing me, seems that short stroll along the canal has awoken the arthritis as long as it settles down for Whitby next week I won't complain (much)

Good to meet you Iain, and Dave and a surprised rare visitor to the forum who was toting his Nikon, Peter (sorry can't recall his username) who was rather annoyed he'd left his K5 in the car on finding there was a PU meet

Thanks to Davem for pointing the event out and scuppering Fountains Abbey, we all had a really good day out.

now who will be brave enough to post the first pic

I think it's disgusting.....

none of them were offering customers a chilled vodka

I'm glad someone on here knows what there doing, good job on the ID Charlotte

Iain, you have a PM.

I've never seen Hoverflies with antenna like that, I've just done a search on wasp mimicking hoverflies and can't find anything that remotely resembles it.

Have a look here link second and third images compare a Common Wasp and the Chrysotoxum Hoverfly (the one that is supposed to mimic the Wasp.

Cracking shots though

If your using the K10D Bernard I would forget the previous three replies, TAv relies on either very good light or good ISO performance, I've only used this mode since getting the K5.

Stick to trying Hyper Program, it was my preferred mode until they made the buttons programmable, it's a fast easy method of switching between modes.

One thing to mention is pressing the green button at anytime will revert the camera back to P

Looks like it may be a little wet chaps, hopefully most of us will have WR lenses, and as an added bonus we wont have to put up with the strong contrasty light that ruins portraits
