What made you feel good today

[Oldboy]

As a Canadian of a certain age, I grew up on Leonard and Gordon Lightfoot. Had to listen to them in school.

Strange! As we only had to eat our greens!

And see where that took you. You turned into an angry looking duck!

Yes, but you were in school in the times before the invention of record players.

Finally getting some shots edited and posted of my trip up to London a couple of weeks ago, Abers I didn't make it to Hyde Park so couldn't tell Diane how much you love her 

Seriously glad to have got some shots edited and posted think they might need a bit more work I just have to figure how to use lightroom properly....

WMMFGT woohoo 1 more day at work then off to Devon to spend a few days with my folks, be good to see my mater and pater and see how mother is with her alzheimers at least I can give dad a break and cook a couple of meals for them, looking forward to seeing them both and hopefully the weather will be reasonable in Torquay (which does seem to have its own micro-climate compared to anywhere else in the uk) just 1 nice day for a walk on Dartmoor would be really good. And tonight is camera club night and we have the fantastic Gavin Hoey coming tonight he's a photoshop wizard so looking forward to that 

OH and getting a "NICE" comment on my flickr page from an ARPS at camera club for my shot of the Buick "Hood" as the yanks call it

WMMFGT ?
Used a film camera for the first time today.
I must admit to really enjoying my day today
Decided to buy a film camera, a couple of lenses and some other bits and pieces. I needed something to get my juices flowing again and to also slow me down and make me think before pressing the shutter.
I was getting into bad habits and using a "machine gun" style whilst out with the digi gear 
1 roll full and ready to go off for processing. Other 4 rolls in the bag awaiting the results of roll 1.

Will you miss the personal hands on developing? Although I guess you can scan and pp the shots while digital noise will be minimal in the scanning

A lesson that a lot could learn Alf. Another member IrvB took up film a good few months ago and looking at his Flickr pages, he is still using it and obviously enjoying it.

Watch out next week for a post in the WAMT thread after I get the processed film back on cd 
Not cheap either getting it developed and put onto a CD. (about 20 notes with p&p ).

Btw, how is IrvB ? he not been active here for a while

Posting his B+W Film stuff there. I think he processes his own film and scans them himself, not too sure though.

You could have knocked me over with a feather at the price you stated, is that for B+W or colour?

I have a Rollei 6X6 and all the gubbins from way back and managed to find a battery charger for it on Ebay after months of searching. I got all excited when I got it and found that the battery still held a charge, but it's been on the back-burner for some time just waiting for me to get off my backside and use it.

The camera, a Rolleiflex 6002, two lenses, an 80mm 2.8 Rolleigon and a 50mm 1.4 Distagon, a 2X converter, two backs, hand grip and a few assorted filters were the proceeds of winning one round of  SLR POTY back in the mid '80's, £1,000 of Rollei gear, which covered the body and one of the lenses.

I took it all in its Hakuba metal carrying case to a well known dealer who made me an offer for the case, but nothing else. I didn't bother.

So it all sits gathering dust on a shelf waiting for me to burst into life!

  The venue I do my gigpicery for have asked that I "Do" the comedy shows as well. I thought getting the necessary credentials would be a problem, I mean, why would they let a bloke in with a camera?
  In the next month or so I've got Sean Hughes, Markus Brigstocke, Ardal O'Hanlon, Stephen K Amos, Alexei Sayle, Jason Manford  (Not keen on him) and Greg Davies.
  Still waiting to hear from Ken Dodd's Diddy Men!
  Did Ed Byrne last night, what a nice bloke considering he must meet so many people fleetingly and given the fact that he was part way through a 64 night tour with barely a day off.
  He asked to hold my camera when chatting before the show, it damn near put his back out! (It did have a 300mm 2.8 nailed on the front!).

Sounds great Graham - well done.
