Would absolutely love them both Hugh! I would like to have a real variety of cameras and lenses available for the participants to explore and play with! Sort of like the United Nations of photography! 😉
As AFB said, that's extremely reasonable!
Either you waz ripped off or it's going via Oz, as that's exactly what I've just paid to send the G1 😉
Might be expensive if it's over sized. Up to 30kg I can send anywhere in the UK for £6 through work.
£6 go get it anywhere in UK. You looking to offload that old M9 to make way for something new?
Would absolutely love a second tripod, with whatever gadgets you have for it! I've got a couple of ball-heads with arca-swiss plate mounts, so all the cameras can fit on them, just need to grab a few more plates, but that's no biggie. One participant has only got the use of one hand, so for her it's imperative to be using a tripod at all times. I'd love for the group to be playing with long exposure photography.
Well done for all your hard work. I'm sure the group is enjoying the sessions.
Excellent work Alex; you must be so pleased with how it's turned out.
Thanks, AFB. The previous groups loved it. The new ones are about to start in a couple of weeks time.
Thanks, Hugh. I'm really chuffed at the results and how well it's been received. I think that the assistance from all over the globe is the thing that has blown me away the most, for a simple little local cause. The G1 now has a twin, with a shiny silver 14-42mm lens!
It is indeed, Ken!
Thanks! There is a download link to an excerpt from the book available here. I'm not linking to the iBooks excerpt version any more because every time I export it from iBooks Author, it ends up with stupidly cut off letters in random sections, even though everything is well within the safe print zones! Apple Help can't work out why it's occurring. As a result, I have had to redo the entire thing from scratch, so the full book will have a slightly different appearance to the PDF excerpt.
Thanks for your offer, but we have all we need now, I have the eight I set out to gather, in combination with three lenses each (which I'm still sourcing), it's going to be three backpacks full for me to take to each session! And I don't drive due to severe anxieties! It's probably for the best that I don't have a panic attack whilst behind the wheel. 😱
Absolutely! There's a few that have a cool eye for the quirky image and one lady who hasn't picked up a camera since the 80's when she was studying a Diploma of Photography but gave it up to have her kids, using large format cameras for studio, product, landscape, architectural and fashion images! She's taken to it like a duck to water and has a very refined eye. She loves that she doesn't have to lug about a huge camera and think about rises, tilt or shifts to the various parts of a large format camera. She picked up back button focus really quickly, now I just need her to use a camera that has image stabilisation, because I notice that a few of her images are blurry, like the Koala one.
