good to drop by and say hello to a few of you, although I am still getting to know your boards names ! some excellent photos on show.

something I'll consider for next year.

Thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Even if it was at the expense of the weekend lie-in.
Good to meet the folk again I had met previously. And good to meet some folk I hadn't previously met. (you all know who you are).
And for all the nervousness of biting the Peoples Photography bullet for the first time, I'm now looking forward to next year.

Well done to the organisers and the participants.

Oh, and a big thanks for the help with my 'flat' battery. Buzz and his jumping skills and Humberklog and his engineering(?) skills! Cheers lads.

bravo

Thanks guys for a great weekend! Some brilliant work displayed over the weekend, and geat to meet you all. Off to the sweet shop now to spend the €5 I ....um.....earned!

Hi Everybody,

as Buzz mentioned previously, I'm now a boardsie as well as pixie, so I can officially thank you all for your support and 'convincing efforts' during the last weekend. So, thank you very much!

It was thoroughly enjoyable weekend and good fun. I loved to have the opportunity to put the faces to the names of people I hadn't met before and see and talk and laugh with those I had met previously.

Looking forward to Peoples Photography 2010!

I now own an original "Humberklog" and some day it's going to be worth a fortune.

It's how you go about it, nothing to do with content (thankfully!!).:pac::pac::pac:

I can imagine more doing the same next year, it's the way forward.

What did you do?

While spending hours at People'e Photography is very pleasant it can drag after a while. I took out the camera & shot some stuff on Sunday.

I have been given a loan of a 105mm Micro, so tried using it for a short while. I quite enjoyed using the manual focus again, but miss the split screen.



This one was a grab shot of the Viking Splash. Am in two minds about this one still. the background worries me & so have made it Mono & turned it down a coiple of stops.

First he gave them away. Then he put up a '€1' sign. Then he put up a 'tips greatly accepted' sign. And did the best of all the boardersees! (More power to him).
Next year I'm just hanging a tips sign. Nothing else. No photos. Just a tips jar. Its the way to go. Conceptual photography at its extreme

Made up only 6"x4" sizes of about about 25 different pics and hung them as free post cards for people to take.

First time exhibiting so wanted to do it my way.

Turned out to be a good chat up line from what I saw...:D

humberklog

There was a lot going for it for the first timer.
Chatting up (or communicating:D).
By putting up over 30 different images it freed me up from making selection mistakes if I'd decided to display 8 or so full prints. I find it hard to know what people like and I'm often surprised at the popularity (or not popular) of some pics.
In doing this I could also see what is generally popular, therefore making selection for larger prints (the next time out) less of a shot in the dark.

Next time I'd have the postcards displayed in a easier accessable and more sturdy set up and have a collection of 6 larger and well presented prints to catch the eye and draw in.
Just from looking at what people did buy from other stalls I'd properly frame them too. People want less hassle, they're not as keen buying just a mounted photo as a properly framed one. A mounted one means that they've to look for a frame.
That's some of what I learned, few other things too about display and such like.
A web site is important as it's much easier to give contact details other than scribbling an email address with a pen.

That was a Great weekend, I got to meet some of you briefly on Sunday Morning, your displays looked great.

Nice shot Sinead, i think i met you when you were stacking all those filters, how long did the exposure turn out in the end?

Finally got this time lapse movie from the weekend up on the photography blog.

Buzz Lightyear

Absolutely excellent Kyle. Its a wonderful movie. I really love the part when you move the camera and change the perspective.

As for those two fools walking across the camera slowly .......

Buzz Lightyear

Anyway. My I had an old box brownie with me for the weekend.

It's basic. No focus adjustments. No shutter speed or aperature adjustments. Just pop in the roll of 120 and off you go. The original ponint and shoot. I developed these last night. There's a few more over on my pixie

Well done. Looks good. You should try dragging the exposure (using a longer exposure for each frame). This gives you a much smoother transition from frame to frame with whatever objects (people in this case) are in a different pposition in each shot.
