Shot 1 = 3 pts Shot 8 = 2 pts Shot 2 = 1 pt Well done everyone; it seems to have been quite 'challenging'!

It's early time yet but I think I have a place for dinner in mind; I will check with them and keep you updated. I must say I was expecting London to be the winner but Nice does offer possibilities. I hope you all had a great time in Dubrovnik, I wish I could have been there and I am looking forward to see your best efforts in the forum shortly.

Yes, Stefan, mea culpa, and Pete corrected me earlier: here is the correct one. The One Challenge list.xlsx -
One Challenge 2023 - Saturday 14th October
octo replied to andybarton's topic in Events & Member Meetings
I'm all for it! That first time I was so worried about reaching the end of the film that I held back. In the end I shot 12 photos, none of them a 'challenge' to better photographers. -

Hello friends, it shames me to announce that I will not be taking part this year, a first! I am going on tour with the Béjart Ballet to China. Really sorry, but I most heartily wish you all the best. I knew about the tour but until they gave me the plane tickets I held my breath. -
I have had good reports from a photographer friend who manages a shop in Cannes about Victor Bellaich in Paris.

I have been using this lens on my IIIg since 1980; I like it because of its history but I must say I find it quite soft. Good luck in your research!

Well deserved congratulations to Christoph, Andy and Dan! Having bumped into Christoph a couple of times up there I did suspect him of being up to (no) good... Thanks Andy and Ravi for the flawless background work.
