Re: 2010 Photography Workshop
I'd also like to add my thanks to Pete, Gary and Lisa, all of the speakers for their advice and Mr Oates for the most compelling reason for doing what we do that I've ever heard!
It was a thoroughly enjoyful day, great afternoon location and great to meet some of the members on here I've been talking to for the last year. Thanks also to Susie for the cuttings.
What were your 11 species Gary? I saw Green Hairstreak, Brimstone, Orange Tip, Green Veined White, Small White, Peacock and Dingy Skipper. Missed the Grizzles. Oh,I also saw a lizard and a Green Woodpecker and 4 Swallows.
Cheers

Thanks to all from myself for a most enjoyable day. It was good to catch up with the BF membars I met last year and to put some new faces to familiar names.
These are my best images of the day showing the brimstone ovipositing and the resultant egg.
, BTW if "to do a Bogle" is going down in BF slang - then after his most inspiring talk, "getting your Oates" takes on a whole new meaning and should now refer to a sublime and inspiring wildlfe experience.

Re: 2010 Photography Workshop
Thanks to everyone from me to, it was a very informative and interesting day along with the great company, although all it has done is made me realise I need to up the anti and spend some money on the right kit, so will be asking for some advise over the coming weeks on what camera and lens etc and can someone please give me details of the tripod that was show.
Thanks again to all
Andy

Hi Andy, the Tripod wascan someone please give me details of the tripod that was show.
Manfrotto 190CXPRO4
You might want to test it out in a shop, so you can see which type of head, would suit you the most. I have the pistol grip style which is Manfrotto 322RC2 and there are various ball heads.
Many thanks for the book Pete.

Re: 2010 Photography Workshop
Good news about the money raised.
Neil, your report is great reading and is on my desk at work waiting for lunchtime so I can go and sit in the sun and continue reading it.
On page 41, your introduction to butterflies was similar to mine, although it was my uncle rather than my father. Of course, my Dad did get involved once they took over my life. I especially like the line "the best days in the field are still those spent in his company". I can no longer do that with my uncle, but I know exactly what you mean.
The line about your mother being tolerant of your caterpillars also reminds me of my own mum watching me exit the garage with yet another breeding cage I'd just built either full of nettles and Small Tortoiseshell or Deaths Head Hawkmoth catherpillars!
Cheers
Lee

Re: 2010 Photography Workshop
Morning Pete could you also count me in. I came last year for the first time and found it very informative and met some great likeminded people. I must say though I was a few pence lighter once I bought all the equipment after the meeting having had a couple of subsequent meets and great advice from Gary and Lisa. Additionally I am looking to meet up/get advice on any butterfly spotting holidays if anyone can give me some pointers.
Cheers
Andy
