DaFoot   10 #26 Posted January 4, 2008 Batteries charged, memory cards found...let's just hope weather holds off for us.  Was a bit misty on the motorway tonight - that could work nicely in the graveyard....though I really don't want to be lugging my tripod about with me - could be essential in those conditions  Is there any parking nearby? If so I could bring it but put back in car as we stroll off elsewhere.  EDIT: PArking info here... http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=292294 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hemlock   10 #27 Posted January 4, 2008 Hi Dafoot - you could always go to the entrance on Cemetery road - parking a bit easier round there - & walk down through the cemetery to meet us - weather permitting.  I will be there tommorrow, whatever the weather so anyone who wants to come or is undecided if its raining, they won't be alone!  Look forward to seeing you all tommorrow!

GrinderBloke   10 #32 Posted January 5, 2008 Glad to hear that you had a good day.  I would have made the effort to get across the Sheffield had I known the weather was going to be decent, maybe next time.  Look forward to seeing some of your images.

gemma86 Â Â 10 #33 Posted January 5, 2008 My bed proved much more inviting this morning, but I was gutted when I got up because it was such a nice day! Looking forward to looking at all your pictures though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hemlock   10 #34 Posted January 5, 2008 Hi everyone & thanks to all those who were able to fight off those brutal duvets that pin us to our beds!  What a great bunch of people! - gemma86 - I can guarantee not one of them was an axe murderer & we all survived to see another day!  The brave ones amongst us that came along were:-  dafoot hockeybear hemlock mr hemlock imp in a box mrs imp in a box wojtekk pippo & me  We strolled round the cemetery for an hour or so & then went to Starbucks for a drink. Once we'd warmed up we then strolled along to the Botanical Gardens.  The weather, apart from a little chilly was brilliant - no rain!  It was great talking 'shop' with everyone & getting loads of tips & help trying to shoot things I usually shy away from. Anyway, here is a link to my photos, although I feel a little intimidated by all the professionals amongst you! I think I was the only one (apart from Pippo & me) with a megre point & shoot.  http://picasaweb.google.com/paulinezel/PhotographyStroll5108  Dafoot - I even managed to get photos of rabbits, birds, squirrels ... hope you like them  The orchid picture is all thanks to Dafoot - wouldn't have managed it without his advice. Also, he inspired me to take the photos of the red planty things that I may not have taken otherwise - a change from my usual walls etc!!  So, everyone, it was well worth the effort to come along.  Imp in a box - I can't wait to see the group 'hug' in the bear pit!  mrs imp in a box - Really interested to see how your fountain photos come out (haven't posted mine as I may be embarassed when i see yours!)  Pippo & Me - don't you dare post that photo of me through the window!!  Wojtekk - hope you feel better soon  Hockeybear - glad you managed to find us after being at work since 6:30 - what commitment to photography! Looking forward to seeing your photos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
me-and-pippo   12 #35 Posted January 5, 2008 Me and pippo enjoyed the photography walkabout, and it was pleasure to meet all who participated, and many thanks to Hemlock for organizing the walk. Not sure what Hemlock's on about .. but It's something to do with taking photos through windows I think .. ? I was surprised to see the large display of plants growing in the glass houses at the Botanical Gardens. Especially the Conium maculatum and is that a pedi-sdauno sprouting near by? m&p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
