Some of us don't have to be up earlier than that to not drive round Staplegrove trying to find the right house to collect the keys for the hall. Then there's the not marking out the floor, not moving all the chairs into the foyer, not getting all the tables out and not being there to welcome the early arrivals and reserving car parking spaces for the late comers ( probably still in the taphouse) and the Captain and the pasties. 5 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from lacking any talent to make anything exhibitable, I have always treated Saturday night as a bug collecting time, 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 26, 2020 Up early for some reason. Just (haven't) popped down to the bar at the Lethbridge Arms to see if there's any sign of breakfast happening... Nope, not yet... 8 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullie Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Up early as well, having not packed the car, must now remember not to find my passport to get back into England. I've only crossed the causeway to England once in the last six weeks. That was for a car battery, needed to make sure the car was ok for the journey to Staplegrove I'm not going to make.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2020 Right Chris (No. 1 son), let's not go and find some milk for your breakfast, then we can not get the keys for the hall. Remember last year when we drove past waving to Andy & Phil, and the bemused look on their faces 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what are the rucksack restrictions? You are required to not wear a rucksack. It would be considered socially preferable if you could also manage to not wash nor use deodorant. I am already not there. The doors are about to not open. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Didn't get up until 10am this morning (I blame the (non-existent) alcohol I (didn't) have last night at the pub quiz.) As such, whilst I get my brain into gear, and after having already spent well over an hour admiring the layouts on show, I thought I'd now post some behind-the-scenes photos. First, setting up for the "sat-nav" shot from yesterday's video: And then for the "(not) driving" clip! I only wish I realised just how dirty my windscreen was! Thank goodness my tripod has adjustable leg positions, that's all I can say... I still have more of the video to film and edit, as well as a few photos, as can be seen by the photo below. My camera/lens isn't good in low light, and the lens itself was second hand and as such never had its autofocus working. That, and the focus ring is jerky to move; so you can imagine the difficulties I've had trying to; Focus-pull/push the lens, operate the layout and pan/zoom the camera! Yet still, I'm having a lot of fun, and it gives me another excuse to a) play with the layout, and b) try and improve my photography! So, until the second and final video is filmed/edited, if anyone has any questions, do feel free to post them!
