Here is the group at the end of the day... i had a bit of a play with postwork. Vera had the idea and i think it turned out pretty cool (apart from danny moving a bit). It has the feel of the picture you might see on the cover of a CD :)

This is at the start of the day, me and vera were taking photo's away from the other's waiting for us... and it was a bit of a cliche taking photo's of each other moment:

This is chrissy taking a shot at the end of the day which turned out quite nicely:

And i have no idea how Vera's shot turned out but i didnt want to pass up the opportunity for something of a weird angle "picture of a photographer taking a picture" shot... her tripod fell under the cattle grid a few moments later!

Here is my recent upload in the gallery:

Fun pictures, some realy interesting. Rick / Vera, that was a cool idea about a fading group shot. and a "4 musketeers" shot is realy  great. Thanks to share your excursion with us always  good to see some rendo fun in photo practice.

Hey that sure does look like fun. Next year my son has exchange with Kelly College somewhere in UK to play rugby. We are planning on travelling around so maybe you guys and girls could organise another day out with ME. Will be about this time next year so dont forget.:) Chris

Remind me nearer the time.  I think we could do something

Hey Rich, I dig that shot, love your head peeping in there! I don't think I even took that shot... I wound up lying on my back to get the shot. I might post it here, I might not... I've so gotten post the 'evil' shot from the pub/bar.

David had a lazer which I  think a few of the visitors thought we had lazer sights on our cameras !!  Here I got a shot of it bouncing off some foilage..

Well, I've really not got time to comment here or on any of your uploads from the weekend so far (how inconvenient that work is so busy at the moment!!!)

 

I promise you though that I will get to your pics to comment on them - I have had a quick look at all the links provided (that really does help, saves time having to go searching for them!) and there are some fantastic shots there - I do have a couple of faves already, but I'm sure there'll be loads more uploaded over the next few days.

 

Unfortunately, I've not had a chance to do anything with my shots yet (the cold I'd been desperately trying to hold off has kicked in and now I find myself without a voice...great benefit to some, I'm sure!! But I didn't want to do anything last night but sleep!!)

 

I'll see if I can get a couple of shots of you guys to upload in here tomorrow - I have my "money shot" too LOL!!!

 

It was great to meet you guys - I think we all got on pretty well and I'd love to do it again sometime soon, when I'm feeling a bit better and can really cause mischief for the boys with Vera!!! (Sorry I let you down on that one V!! LOL)

 

Chrissy xx

 

 PS - I love that ghosted group shot Rich - it turned out really well and we did have some fun doing it!! xx

Considering we tried it like 5 times!

I'd like to see what the first one turned out like to the one where we were all just standing.

There's some great looking shots there, looks like you guys had a pretty good time. I wish I could have made it but it was a bit too far for me travel. We should do something for us northerners sometime, lol.

 ecurb - The Devil

Apologies for the quality (or lack thereof in my photos - a combination of batteries not holding their charge plus me not being on top form meant that most of my shots are either out of focus or just badly composed etc LOL!! But they are just memory shots!!!)

This is a shot of Rich, who when reviewing my pictures in the bar in the evening, had no idea what he was doing here!!!  Perhaps he was counting his fingers???

OK, here's my "money shot" LOL!!!  I'm just so disappointed that the focus is out on this one and I couldn't retrieve it in Photoshop unfortunately!!  I just loved the "position" that Vera and Rich are in in this one - it could be misinterpretted by smutty-minded people such as ME!!!!   LOL!!

 

I've actually no idea what they were doing though!!??

"I don't suffer from insanity,

This is a pretty poor quality shot taken in the field whilst setting up for some sunset shots. The light was fading nicely by this point. It was just after this one that Rich decided to take a group shot and with Vera's brilliant suggestion, we ended up with that fantastic "ghost" image that Rich has already posted!!

 

Yes boys, this IS a camera you're looking at!!

OK, this is an awful shot of me, but I just had to include this to prove that I can never get any sense out of Carl - he's like this all the time sigh!!!

EDIT: Yes, I did "heal" my spot in postwork!!!

I'm gutted - I had two photos of our Vera too that I'd resized ready to post here, but they're not on my CD - I'll have to copy them to disk tonight and post them tomorrow.

 

Sorry V - you were looking so innocent in one of them too!!!!!

My upload for today.

CCCD Photography  CCC Dezynz

I was helping her take that shot which is in the LWitG - there was a branch in the way so i was holding it out of frame - she did the same for me :)

Here is the other group shot Vera wanted to see:

Something we didnt consider when taking this type of shot was that the background plays a very important part in making detail of faces etc discernable in the final shot.

Nice shot, but I have a label right in the middle of my face LOL!!

I was only joking with the "money shot" Rich - you know it was just a bit of fun right??

Hugs xx

I was just explaining for those who didnt know... also it is a good example of lengths people go to get "that" shot :)  I'm ok with the shot... although i was surprised you didnt realise the full meaning of the phrase when you used it in the pub later :tt2:

Best pose of the day!

 ecurb - The Devil

Here's my couple of Vera in the bar that I forgot to load to my cd yesterday (soz V!!) 

 

Both of these shots were not composed at all, they were just set up in an attempt for Carl to take a "picture in picture" shot so I was just holding the camera towards Vera - we got a little bored waiting for Carl to press the shutter so I did LOL!!!  The first one is the one that Vera thought she looked nice and innocent in, so I had to show you that one (after all, she is anything but innocent LOL!!!)

 

@ Rich: Yes, I did know the full meaning of that phrase as Carl had explained it to me only a couple of weeks ago however, I'd forgotten - hence my embarrassment when I realised LOL!!

 

BTW - Totally hate that shot David, although perhaps more appropriate in this thread than in the gallery!!

Seriously thou, you didn't have to up load them... I really should've deleted them when I had the chance!

Here's my latest upload

Sorry Vera - if you really don't like them, I'll delete them now if I still can??

 

I'll get around your galleries later today hopefully and comment on all of your uploads - I have seen them all though and they're great!!

No it's okay in the spirit of it all don't worry to delete them.

Your recent upload of that leaf Chrissy... wasnt taken when i sniped this of you was it?:

I just loved the fact that it was such a relaxed pose: cigarrette in hand, crossed legs, leaning back, and elbow on the arm rest... taking a shot :)

And here is just one of the group at lunch:

"In every colour, there's the light.

Rich Meadows Photography

Fun and sweet shots guys all of you have a great personality showing throught these pictures. I would be realy interesting to see a shot Rich was taking in a puddle.

seeyus  Tunde

I'll see if i can put that up tomorrow (the computer i have them on is offline so i have to transfer it to this one if i remember to) - it was one i was going to do but forgot to resize for web. (it isnt that great anyway )

"In every colour, there's the light.

Rich Meadows Photography

Yes Rich, the leaf shot was taken from that bench - in one of my quiet moments before I had coffee and chocolate inside me at lunch!!  I actually quite like that shot of me - which says a lot cos I normally hate my photo being taken unless I have my make-up done nicely with hair tidely groomed!!  Yes, I do look relaxed but this shows why there was a slight lack of sharpness in my leaf photo without the use of tripod and on a zoom shot too!!

 

I don't remember you taking that lunchtime photo either, but again, another great shot from you!! 

 

I do love Carl's puddle shot of you though - that's a brilliant capture and I too would love to see your shot from that when you get it done (unless you have already - I'd better go and check out your gallery!!)

Chriss I reckon you look damn tired not relaxed. And the bench in the grass and trees looks like you're gonna be grown over...

Rights Come With Responsibilities VAMP'hotography Website VAMP'hotography Blog

I was tired V - the very next day the cold I'd been battling with all week finally came out good and proper!!  I ended up with a throat infection and had no voice for a few days until the antibiotics kicked in (yes, most people find that pleasing - me with no voice LOL!!)

It is a shame I didn't feel on top form cos I'd loved to have caused mischief for the boys like we said we were going to LOL - next time eh?? xx

"I don't suffer from insanity,
I enjoy every minute of it."
:lol:
CCCD Photography  CCC Dezynz

Oh - i thought you just naturally had that raspy, sexy voice... ah well :)

Anyway - here is that shot i was taking standing over the puddle - just a play around, and definitely not gallery worthy ;)

PS - finally got internet on my own PC - so no need to use my USB thingeymajig to transfer to my mum's computer :)

Meaning i can now swamp you with random shots if i really wanted to, hehe

Still a really cool shot Rich - you look like an alien in that reflection!! 
Have you reduced the saturation in this one?  

(and no, my voice hadn't started to go by then, so what you heard is my normal voice - deep and monotone!!)

Swamp away - I love your photos, so will never tire of them!! xx

For me, it's the end of another working day so time to log off and go back to my internet-free flat!!  Three weeks til my babe joins me and he's convinced he's getting connected when there, so watch this space.... then you can all be bombarded with my "junk"

Catch y'all tomorrow xx
