Very nice, Bob! Thanks for sharing. Wish I could have made it to York yesterday. Got a few frames with the Rolleiflex at the Glasgow West End festival today but the light was flat and uninspiring.

And another.

I like "craft fair" "ten reasons" and the "portrait of the old gentleman" nice work chaps :yes:

 

[Bobfrance]

Thanks Stewart and Vincent.
It's a shame you guys couldn't be there. Hopefully we'll get to meet up soon.

 

[Bobfrance]

I think every one of us took a pic of the 'Ten Reasons...' guy.
We should all post our shots up. It would be interesting to see how each of us approached it.

I really like the way Paul used the lines on the floor to lead into the frame on his shot.

Another one from me and the Rolleiflex.

I didn't get much on Saturday,

A filmmaker, guitarist and a couple of dancers ...

 

[Bobfrance]

What film was it Stewart?
You can tell it's film and not digi on those shots - they have a proper film feel.


Here's a few from me...

It was some almost geriatric Fuji superia 400, it looks that colour because I forgot to swap the old summicron for the colour-skopar I normally use for colour

Great sB&W tuff Bob & Paul - where was the parade?

One of these days, I will make a return to a NW meet - probably wouldn't be York though, as I lived there for 5 ot 6 years. If I can get out from under the welter of DIY, grandchildren and a BA degree course, I would love a day's photography among like minded folk.

Ah well, i can dream.....

 

[Bobfrance]

You're always welcome John.

 

[Peter_Jones]

Not been on this forum for ages, and when I look on the UK section I see images that scream "Rolleiflex!"

This is not a bad thing

Hope you're all keeping well ?

 

[Bobfrance]

Hi Peter,

I knew you'd approve.
I'll be sorting the next meet and updating the list of events very soon. It would be great to catch up with you again.

 

[Bobfrance]

Quick heads up...

Okay gang.

I plan to definitely be in Manchester this coming Saturday.

I have to really as I need to pick up my Rollei from London Camera Exchange and drop my prints in at Real Camera so Jem can get the exhibition set up.
Obviously I plan to do some shooting and nattering as well.

So far I think there's six of us in attendance. Anyone else fancy a jaunt?

Much as I'd like to I can't do the August 6th one, sadly

That's a shame Stewart. I'd really like to see your prints.
