[LargeFormat] f32 Fall Workshop

[Clive Warren]

The f32 UK Fall workshop was a great success. Thanks as always to Robert 
Lawrence and this time also to Paul Owen for their assistance running 
workshop. Having three f32 people in the field on hand for help and advice 
was very useful.

Thanks also to Robert White for providing demonstration Ebony RW45 and Toyo 
AX cameras which were used and admired - and to Cooke Optics for providing 
us with one of their excellent new PS945 Soft Focus Portrait lenses which 
was demonstrated at the castle on Sunday and the subject of much after 
dinner conversation on the Saturday. As David Morton suggested, "the only 
lens to come with its own humidor!" the wooden case for the lens is rather 
wonderful.

The weather was perfect with an amazing low mist over the River Wye first 
thing on Saturday morning. Autumnal colours are now very evident in the 
range of different tree species in and around Tintern, so the people who 
stayed after the workshop to hone their skills will have some great photo 
opportunities.

Looking forward to seeing some of the photos from the workshop appearing in 
the Galleries section of the f32 Discussion Forum at 
http://www.f32.net/discus .

It was great to put some faces to names and thanks to everyone who 
participated in making it such an enjoyable weekend.

Cheers, Clive
