Hi All
I've got a free weekend this weekend and am going to go to London on Sunday (30/01) to do a Speakers Corner shoot, if anybody else fancies it let me know and we can arrange meeting points etc, I'll be coming from Surbiton straight to Waterloo...
I'm looking at Speakjers Corner also, and was interested in your previous suggestion.
Sadly i'm at work at 14:00 so can't make it, but i'll keep my eye out in case there are any other trips...
That's no problem Andrew I'm still going to do the 20th Feb shoot as well as I want to go to the London Museum exhibition anyway, just thought as I've got a free weekend I'd take advantage of it, hope you can make the 20th Feb one.
OK this weekend didn't happen...for various reasons I didn't get up to London yesterday...however I am now planning a trip up there this coming weekend (Sun 6th Feb) as it is Chinese New Year, and having been up there before for this it could be a great show....officially it starts at 12 but it's worth getting up there earlier...limited info here http://www.londonchinatown.org/home/ and if Chinatown is a little flat or too busy we can still go to Speakers Corner...
If anyones up for it let me know I am aiming to get up to Waterloo for around 10 give or take 30 mins...
Keith
Yep, count me in - hopefully this year it will not be as wet or as cold as last year...
Cool nice one Andrew, meet at Waterloo at 9:30 - 10ish say by the Burger King don't think there's engineering works affecting the Surbiton line this weekend,
I'll pm you my mobile later (at work at the mo shouldn't really be on here ;))
Anyone else up for this please post here and I will pm you my no. if you need/want it...I went up last year (or was it the year before can't remember now) and it was great if blooming freezing so wrap up warm and have pennies for hot drinks etc...
Hi
Iam interest but need to check out my trains.
Sandy
If I can schmooze the good lady wife, into letting me off the continuing saga of decorating the hallway stairs and landing, I'll join you guys - I will give you an update later in the week!
yep, will see you there. Have PM'd you my new number...
Have got to cry off - got a job on Sunday which will interfere with with this trip.
News came in equal measure i can assure you!
No problem we'll just take a raincheck on speakers corner just a shame you can't make it for the Chinese New Year celebrations but I understand work comes first... :tup:
Were you walking from Waterloo, just worried at how much walking will be involved.
Sandy
Hi Sandy unfortunately yes I was planning on walking from Waterloo up the Southbank, over the Hungerford Bridge and straight on to Trafalgar Square, then walk into Chinatown from there then get the tube to Hyde Park and walk across to Speakers Corner, so there will be quite a lot of walking and standing around for a long time involved. Obviously there will be coffee breaks involved along the way at points but when I went up last year there was a LOT of walking and standing as you have to follow the processions....hopefully there will be a Dragon March as there wasn't when I went up there last time...
Let me know if you are up for it
Hi
Thanks for the info, I do not think that Iam fit enough for Sunday. I hope you have a great time and are able to get some brilliant photos.
Sandy
A no show from me sadly too much to do here :(
OK DEFINATELY GOING UP THIS SUNDAY 27TH FEB...going to the musuem of london in the morning for the london street photography exhibition and then on to Hyde Park for the afternoon....twofold reason meeting someone at Hyde Park to discuss this year March against Child Abuse rally and also to photograph the speakers at speakers corner if anyone wants to meet up then pm me....be good to see some fellow togs there...
Don't think I can make it Keith, but if I do you'll be instantly recognised by all those new lenses hanging around your neck. ;)
Give Dianne my love! :tup:
Still waiting for the beercan but thought it might be a good day to try out for the 35-80....if not no big deal I still have the 2 kit lenses and the 75-300 which is what I think I'll use to shoot Dianne...think distance shots with her is a good idea ;)
just hope that the rain holds off and that our Animated Canadian Cowboy Preacher is there....
Sadly I can't make it on sunday. Hope you have a great day Keith - and I agree a long lens might come in useful... ;)
Sadly, already booked up for a fashion shoot in Holborn, other wise would have willingly joined you.
Diane, the Cowboy, take your pick - quite a few great characters there - and with all this unrest going on in the Muslim world - extremely active as well i would think :knuppel2:
