"sofistimated"? Google fails explanation. Do explain. Or I may ask you tomorrow, if I figure out how to pronounce it

yeah was looking for one today but it didn't happen so it looks like a wet rag covering a bucket for me

See you all tomorrow a 11

I've heard there's a guy called Smiley who's usually at the castle and knows all the cold spots, you should give all the alcohol to him to keep cold :pac:

What a fantastic day it was. I am only about to open my eyes and begin processing the pictures and to create few animations.

Thank you, Seb, for organising and thanks to everybody who came. It was very nice again and something to look forward to.

great day! Sony alpha 230 (apologies about the size)

Just putting mine on the PC now. Had to copy a few to my new 16GB USB key, as I ran out of room when I just started doing the "Red Room". Photos will be going online later, hopefully. Will see how my upgrade (of a year ago) handles the panoramas (have not done anything heavy since the CPU upgrade).

Did this for the fun: http://pix.ie/the-syco/1765169/size/0/in/album/381069
Have to click into it, as it's a gif file. It's of a toy kitty coming down the banister

Got a lend of a 70-300 lens (think it was 70...) off someone, and took the following:




Liked the deth of field for this one.

Panoramas are still being processed. Hope to have them done by the morning, and I'll post them up here tomorrow evening.

Really must have a look at whats on my SLR later, otherwise I may not look at them for weeks

dakar

A few more from the only camera I used in Charleville, it felt quite liberating not lugging the SLR around

Cabaal

Some v nice shots Darren, found it handy to use the iphone myself...did find it hard to keep it steady at times though

sheesh

Sebzy

Just playing around with my instant

Kitty Cat #1: I can't bear to look!
Dwarf: I'm sure I can turn this into something positive...
Surgeon Bear: I've never dealt with a headectomy before omgwtf
Other Kitty: I always knew she liked the doll more than me.
Hitler Baby: I hope nobody knows I like to dress up in ladies clothes.
Dalmation #76: Woof! Woof!

Tiriel

Haven't had a chance to go through my photos yet - just taking a look through them now! Just wanted to say thanks to Seb and everyone - had a really great time and learned so much!

Great to see the results too!!

Ballroom:


Library roof:


Library:


Main Hall/Entrance Hall:


Corner nearest to the BBQ:


Front of the Castle:


Red Room:


=-=

All images were cropped (some I felt if I cropped any more, it wouldn't look as nice) and reduced in size by 50%. Red Room had it's brightness increased, and contrast reduced, as it was too dark. Red Room was a rush job, which I hope to get a chance to redo.

My toy arrived TODAY - absolutely digusted about it arriving so soon after Charleville Meh.

Rolls going into development tomorrow!!

Another great weekend at Charleville. Thanks to all involved. I've only looked at a few but here's a montage I did for my photoblog.

Cabaal

Seems everyone got a shot of that doll after I placed it at the railings on the stairs

xia

So that was you. And you never put it back - shame on you...aehm...I mean...Thank you;)

sNarah

Ha - It was you!!
And yes, guilty as charge! Though I do have a pic of another dolly as well, which I *think* nobody else has (maybe Walter, he was sneaking around when I photographed the other creepy dolly!)

Here she is now:

And........................... another shot of the library.

Wait for it to load. It's only 5MB, so it shouldn't take too long. Not very high def, but meh, it does the job. Drag mouse in the direction you want to go, and use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
