hehe I thought you were a number for aaaaaaaaaaages until
ThOnda quickly corrected me on the car journey over to the castle.

Sorry!!!

We were discussing the similarities between Scottish and Donegal accents.

Damnit, does that mean I can't use the picture I took of you for this months competition?

*woops, letter not number

Fajitas!

I counted 40 photos taken on my digital camera, most of which are duplicates or used for composing with my pinhole... But I liked these two





Nothing amazing, especially compared to the others posted here, but I wasn't exactly in flying form :pac:

Nice shots Al.
Here's a pano of the Stables

Loving all of the photos so far especially Kyle's library, Rory's stairs and the axe murderer shots. Oh and 11's documentary shots of the cooking!

I finally found time to process a few black and whites...

ThOnda

I really like the afternoon room shot. Wonderful.

latchiko

Thanks ThOnda - I've been trying to think of the name of that room all night!

Ditto, Really like the processing on it!
Great photo!!

Sebzy

So many very good shots came out of the weekend.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who made this event great. There will be more trips to the castle for sure. A special thanks to Al for all the help and ThOnda for the cooking.

I got all my pictures of the stables done but sadly little or no other shots.

Will be back down this weekend on organiser duty again and may sneak off to snap one or two.

Fionn

i'd like to echo the sentiments stated by everyone too.
Special thanks to Seb - great organiser - excellent work
and the kitchen staff & chef - mucho good cook/model

well done - good weekend!!!

somewhat off-topic for this thread but who had a really light Manfrotto tripod with this head - http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product/default.aspx?sku=10910

What was the model of tripod and how do you find it with heavy camera's?

Fionn

were you thinking of the setup i have?


this supports a EOS 1DS Mk III and a heavy lens (just about)

very quick to set up and put away

Delirium

Some great pics of the castle in there. Used to work there years ago, brings back some memories.:D

Hi Cabaal,

I think it's my setup you are thinking of. I use a set of 190MF4 legs with that head. I sit a nikon D300 with battery pack on it and have had no problems with any of my lenses (10-20 Sigma, nifty 50 or 18-55 kit lens). I suspect if I was using a longer/heavier lens, eg a 70-200 f2.8, the legs might be a little light and one of the larger 055 leg sets might be more use. The head seems pretty stable though and the tension in the ball can be adjusted for heavier bodies.

Hope this helps, you deserve an upgrade from your Dad's antique!

dakar though it was you alright but wasn't too sure
thanks a mil for the info, yeah I def need an upgrade from that old tripod I think its almost as old as me

Fionn I've looked at that head before, looks like it could take more weight then the joystick I would imagine which is something I want to keep in mind as time goes buy especially based on my next lens purchase (70-200 2.8).

Very tempted by the 458B + 322RC2 + MBAG80P + 102STRAP

Fajitas!

Finally got around to scanning my Zorki negs from the weekend. Will probably dev the 4x5 tomorrow... or something.

Anyways:








And yes, I know the negs are dirty. I like them that way. Durty.

Oh, yeah, film is 125 speed Ilford pushed to 400.

Yea good thing you said that was about to get the windowleen out.

Sebzy

Could anyone who took photo's of the stables as part of the restoration project please contact me the castle are asking for some pics.

thanks

Sebzy

Sorry to dig up this old thread but this is important.

As you all know charleville castle had been very good to boards members over the past few years hosting our photo weekends. Now they need our help.



Any help is much appreciated.

Might be worth PM'ing a mod about this as I believe it would be pretty fair to give stuff back, also when is the next photo meet here? :pac:
