Catching up after a few days I see that this thread has grown considerably so apologies Bill for not attending to your comprehensive comment earlier. Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful work showcased in the links you provided, truly inspirational stuff there.

This made me chuckle, Eagle. Not least because it echoes a lot of my views. I too am biased towards Minolta, at least as far as 35mm is concerned. Apart from a few dalliances I've been using them since the mid seventies.

Welcome, Eagle. Good to see you here. I'm looking forward to your posts as I like the work you share over on 35mmc.

You've made me jealous, Gary. #1637 is especially good to my eye. The autumnal colours aren't quite here yet in my part of the UK. I went out to take a few snaps this afternoon but I don't think there'll be anything worth keeping among them.

Oh, I don't think you'll find the ignorant sort on RPF.

I recall only once having received a 'no'. Embracing the spirit of things may have helped though because we used to...

Nice work, Shaun. Those sort of events are always great for character studies. Hassle free too as people expect to be noticed and photographed.

Welcome, Gareth. Take a look around the place and feel free to comment. Above all post some of your work, it's always interesting to see what others get up to.

Thanks very much, Gary, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Although this walk was a new one on me there are several others that I take on a regular basis. I'm always surprised that no matter how often I take them there's always something different to see or learn. I'll get round to posting a few...
