Just catching up with some of the threads . . .

A rather late congratulations is in order.

What I find very interesting is a radio network hosting a photography competition! I immediately got visions of them holding the photographs up to the microphones so everyone could hear them. :-)

Hope all went well during your trek to the studio today. Just making the cut to the "short list" is an achievement in itself.

Sorry for the OT chaps and chappesses, but I have just heard from the BBC that I am on the short list with my entry for the "My Britain at 6am" competition. This is being run by the Today programme (early morning current affairs programme on BBC Radio 4 - the best radio station in the world in my opinion) and started with a professional photographer's portfolio. The final list will be subject to a vote, and someone will win from the vote.

Anyway, it is OT because I used my Bronica RF645 and 45/4 for the shot, but on-topic because Bob Gries recommended the film - Ilford Pan F - and Bob used it with his OMs. It's a tenuous connection, but sufficient for me ;-) A better connection is that the professional photographer is one Nick Danziger; he was featured in OlympUser, the British Olympus magazine for the Olympus Camera Club. On the BBC website, you can see him holding a 4Ti with a rather battered hood on a lens:

The shot is of the back of King's College, Cambridge early in the morning in May this year, including the River Cam and a lovely old bridge (whose name I don't know). I will provide a URL when I know one.
