Edinburgh meet. Decision thread.

Just been reminded I have to set off to the airport at 6.30, better start packing too!

Taking:
Canon 5dII - arrived this week, still not fired a shot with it :eek:
Canon 40d
Sigma 70-200 f2.8 - for the 5dII
Tamron 17-50 f2.8 - circ pol attached
Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 - Welding glass packed
Canon 580exII - just in case
Redsnapper tripod
24gb of CF cards (nowhere near enough :( )
Samsung Q1 tablet (for 40d)
Samsung nc10 (downloading CF in evening)
Blutack - essential!

Batteries are charging now just to make sure.
Booked hold luggage just for ease of use, need to print off bookings.
 
DGBVIPER informs me (at the pub this evening) that I have been neglecting this thread, it's been a busy week!.

I will definitely be there along with DGBVIPER from sat morning until as late as we can last.

I notice everyone seems to be getting special e-mails and spreadsheets from Gaffer which I am not ?? what am I missing? and also E-mail in trust :)

Also will have a little think about places that may be worth a visit just to keep them in mind rather than have a planned route.
 
Derp.

Andrew - got your mail this morning!

It's a little short notice for me so I won't be able to make it tonight, however I might be able to get a train tomorrow morning and do tomorrow evening/Sunday.. Just need some time to make my mind up as i've got other stuff to do, I'll drop you a mail tonight if that's cool?

If I do come, I'll be bringing all my LF kit with me intent on shooting architecture and some tungsten film with maybe some night work in mind?

Will let you know tonight, 8)
 
Most I've had is a few mins of spitting, clouds are moving fast.

Charging up phone on laptop, seems to have the lifespan of a fairground goldfish :(

Anyone meeting up early?
 
Mmm, I hadn't though about it but I do have an ancient film camera that I could bring! I even have some film that I bought for the comp and never got round to using. Perhaps someone could even help me out as i have no Idea how to change the film once its used lol

edit; "used" how amateur it's exposed obv!

Found a few models which we could shoot tonight, all the local bars have semi-nude dancing ladies!

I hate public transport. Kat (•) made us a few mins late for the train so now we are in a cab to Gatport Airwick.

(although she seems to think that her turning up late is somehow my fault...)

2 bags and a suitcase? did you turn into a woman somewhere? you're only up for 3 days :p

Friday night in edinburgh......could get busy nearer 9pm certainly. think you're caught up in the pint after work crowd just now.

EDIT

Gaffer, you were busy stroking your 800 mm weren't you. thats why you're running late :D

I wanted to bring 7 pairs of shoes, travelled light!

Nah it's because tripod has its own bag once assembled it doesn't fit in the suitcase.

Zizzi's on quayside is pretty empty so that looks like my dinner stop.
