Thanks for top weekend.Lets get the ball rolling for the 5th of jan.

 

[Bootstrap Bob]

5th Jan is good for me. (Currently )

Shouldn't we start a new thread specifically for the Christmas meet at Swyn's place? at the moment there is this thread and one asking if there is a Christmas gathering. For those that don't know the location it may not be obvious that they should look here.

 

[swyn]

Done!

Swyn.

Excellent photos Ben you have really caught the excellent atmosphere that is ever present at the Bucks Meets. The log photo looks like my sharps cupboard

 

[benp1]

Still have the shakes it seems, though they're better than the photos I took at the Reading meet. For anyone interested there are more Bucks meet photos on my photobucket account. I uploaded the whole memory card, but only put on a few photos.

The meet was truly excellent, I learnt a lot and the shelter building was superb. Particular thanks to Jason with that

I've actually picked up a goretex bivvy bag for next time!

The log photo is great, I can prove to the other half that I'm not alone.... there are other people like me out there!

Try this for a clearer if wonky view of the same shot.
Ben,forgive me if I am teaching you to suck eggs regarding shaky photos but I was given a good tip for using digi cameras,make more use of the countdown timer for still photos.That way you are not actually operating the camera as such when the picture is taken and then the shakes are reduced.Looking at my picture I have other issuses!
Regards Andy.

 

[benp1]

completely agree with you Andy, problem is with that one I'm in it! Don't really know why its blurred cos that one's on timer. I assume its still user error in not placing it down properly

Anyway, your photo's much better, was a nice finish to the weekend!

I'm down in East Barnet, on the cusps of London and Herts. I'd definitely be up for coming along to one of your Bucks meets sometime, if you don't mind throwing your doors open to another one.

Cheers,

Michael.

I would be very interested. can you give me a Google map to where it is along with info on when you are thinking of camping + I'M 13 YEARS ON THE 29,12,07 SO IF YOU HAVE ANY KIDES MY AGE THAT WOULD BE GRATE

 

[abushcrafter]

Can’t view pics ???????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[swyn]

I wish I could help there but this means thinking in PC which I don't do! Perhaps others such as benp1 or Rod could help there.

You also have a PM.

Regards,
Swyn.
