With a huge thank you :thanks: to Lee Nyctophilliac for hosting a brilliant get-together this weekend just gone.
Lots of Lumen fun in splendid surrounding with a great bunch of guys.
Seemed fitting to share some photos. Hopefully others who attended can post there's.
Here is one of mine from the night:

Hi Rob - the pic looks really overexposed or it could be just my crap monitor....

More pics please - I'm very jealous that I couldn't come to this one :(

Pete.

You did miss a good one! Hope you can make it next time.

Blame Petrev (Pete) for the photo being overexposed. He exposed his landing light to the ceiling indoors!!!!!

More photos later...
 
Yeah pete, Shame on you. I would go if it werent for the huge pond between me and you guys.

Hey Rob, did Lee talk to you about your stock? When I met up with those guys, back in July, Lee wowed my fiancee with a few of your Orbs and Raws. Im interested to getting some for her.

:wave: Nick, Sorry I could not make the London visit when you were there.
Send me an email, I do have the Wee Ns's now finally available.

Few more photos.

Great meet-up thanks to Lee


Shame we cant added a recording of Pete's landing light mod ... now that
does sound like a light sabre :devil:
 
A fun weekend and quite serene weather-wise. Rob suprised us all by proving you can still wear shorts in late September ( although he did change them as night fell). Food was supplied by the local chippy and chinese take aways - the chips were great until we turned a UV light on them - grease fluoresces!!!

And many plaudits to Petrev for his delicate way of toasting crumpets with butter, marmite and cheese - yumsk!

Many thanks to cdosrun, blue led, brunt sp, Orb, TX101, Petrev, Jay R for making this a memorable time - next time we press on along the beach until we reach Selsey.


Can this be the last meet up in 2010??? Time will tell.

Some of the lights as they pile up, waiting for the dark.

Jay R scrutinizes.

And likes what he sees.

Rob realizes that shorts are not your friends at dusk in late September on the South Coast!

Petrev's backup case!

Forced inside by the cold we waited for the nighttime walk - we used no houselights. Before Petrev's ceiling bounce test.

The fiend!

And the after glow.

Then onto the beach for some high beam madness.

Don't cross the streams, guys! You remember what Egon said would happen!!

Uncharacteristically, lit by moonlight.

Then, fun with lasers the next morning - the balloons popped and the matches...

The matches...

...were obviously too damp! Should have used this, perhaps.

All in all, NICE!!!!!

Thanks to all who came, commiserations to those who couldn't and more travels with torches next year.


BTW - Solscud007 - the walls look that way because they are train carriages. Cheap and well built, I say.

We did do one more light painting picture, ( well, that and one that has no place on a family forum!) but it won't be here, maybe in the dealer's forum?
 
I can't believe it! I had to work all weekend and missed a fantastic looking weekend. (time to change jobs?)

Great job Lee and the usual suspects - Great to see Cdosrun back on the scene - Hi Mate :wave:

A true flashaholic such as myself, took a week off work so that I could
attend :D



@Lee ..... I cant find the light writing photos :thinking:
 
Yes a great meet, even though we did waste time looking for a geocache that had been removed earlier on in the day !
Thanks to Petrev for that ceiling bounce test was more like a ceiling melt experiment. Who needs a grill to melt cheese on crumpets when you've got that laser. Happy memories.

Yes, apparently the person who's cache it was had been asked to remove it by the campsite authorities, because so many people were using it late at night with torches - I thought they'd put it back after summer, but they didn't - oh well. It was still fun!
 
Great set of photos Lee, thanks for sharing. Been looking forward to them all week.
Hoping to see the light painting ones soon.
Cheers.
