On Sunday the 5th of December at 07:30 I'll be attending/hosting a Nature/Wildlife Brighton flickr group meeting at Bushy Park
You needn't be a member of the Brighton flickr group to attend.
Wear warm clothing as it WILL be cold.
There are refreshments available in the car park from a wagon, There is also a cafe within the park where we'll be heading for a break at an agreed time, ideally not lunchtime as it gets extremely busy.
Images taken throughout the days meeting will be plonked here on my blog, and I'm sure you'll be posting some on flickr. :)
If anyone would like more information to attend, I can be contacted @ jaigrieve"at"gmail.com. Send me an email and I'll send back my number in case you need directions or if you're late you can call to rendevous.
I hope to see at least some people there on the cold winter morning. The snow may stop all the possible traffic routes to the destination, but I'll definitely be there. :)
Optional things to bring:
1. Carrier bag with no holes in it. (The blue ones from off-licences are usually good)
2. A couple of elastic bands.
3. Flask of hotness.
4. Spare socks
5. Camera and lens(es)
6. Presents for me. Haha!

Winter Wonderland Photography and People.
Okay, my first blog is here, and it's about people photography!
The other day my friend Andy Andy's images and myself travelled into town to capture some images at the Winter Wonderland taking place in Hyde Park. Now I'm not sure if it was our approach or something else, but the people of London seemed more stand-offish than compared to the other day's shooting in Brighton with another fellow photographer Nadine. Nadine's Blog
Although in Brighton we boldly approached strangers and asked them if we could take their photograph, whereas by contrast in London we wanted to take a more candid approach.
The light wasn't the best and the choice of lenses was difficult, I opted for taking a full frame 35mm body with a 135mm f/2.0 and 85mm f/1.2. Andy on the other hand went for two bodies, a 1.3x crop and 1.6x crop respectively, along with a 70-200mm f/2.8 IS (VR) and what I think was an 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS (VR)
In retrospect I think the wider angle Image stabilised option was the way to go in this situation, but we live and learn! If I can get back there at some time I'll be taking a tripod and the 17-40mm and fisheye.
