We love Grenouille boiteuse and for sure we are not a "blame culture". "Point your finger and make jokes and laugh", but no blame Example. Following a member for half a day with a compass that pointed in the wrong direction and missing all the meetings with others in the day, resulted in a change of ownership of the compass Half the reason I am unable to join all in Nice is because I am at a loss as to how to get there, without said compass. So if Pete goes astray, I told him so! Also, I have lost my passport. Need a good compass to find it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Of course I might accidentally wind up in Copenhagen instead but I wouldn't mind that and it would provide the excuse to look up Erik Gunst Lund and see what he's up to these days. ) Pete. It would be good to see it again and follow it to the sea, only to always have the sound of waves behind us 5 hours ago, erl said: Half the reason I am unable to join all in Nice is because I am at a loss as to how to get there, without said compass.

Travel without the passport and when they ask for your identity, hold up a mirror to yourself and say "that's me" Without the compass, you can come via Ch. de Gaul airport and be as lost as everyone else ... no compass will ever help anyone through that pile of %&*! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 28, 2024 Author Share #163 Posted September 28, 2024 Question 3: If John in Melbourne has a compass with a needle magnetised to point to the South Pole, and Ravi in Nice has a compass with a needle magnetised to point to the North Pole, what does Daniel (President of Ecuador) use to find his way around? Please show all workings on a separate sheet of paper. 6 marks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olaf_ZG Posted October 2, 2024 Share #174 Posted October 2, 2024 I don’t want to interrupt your chitchat about how to come to Nice, but I actually do expect quite some great images. From the roadtrip as well as the one-challenge… not putting any pressure ofcourse… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted October 2, 2024 Author Share #175 Posted October 2, 2024 No road trip here, Olaf. Suburban train, plane and tram for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted October 2, 2024 Share #176 Posted October 2, 2024 Taxi, plane and tram for me. I haven't decided which cameras to bring. Q3-43 for sure. Then either Q2 or M10M or M11P or SL with 21 & 50 & (75 or 90) First world problems ... I am leaning towards the Q2 for weight. It would be my first OneChallenge with AF lenses only. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice (past experience), research your location and don't leave home without an idea. That way you should have your top image within 15min. Just use any camera, as long as it is a Leica. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted October 3, 2024 Author Share #179 Posted October 3, 2024 Research - that’s what the Friday is for 😉 Last year in Dubrovnik, I found my shot first thing on the Saturday morning. Went back after lunch, and the sun had only moved across the sky by about 90 degrees, hadn’t it, leaving my sure winner in deep shade… Anyway, I’m sure that the best shot will win! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My idea is to have a good time, enjoy the wine, beer and food and the company of others; talking of which I’m sure we’ll all miss your charm and intellectual conversion. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
