The WFC Summer Camp Hub.

This is where it all happened at the WelshFlickrCymru Summer Flickr Photomeet Weekender in Tenby, South Wales.

Debs had the biggest tent EVER!

It was well received by all the tired, soggy slightly tipsy members of the camping contingent at the extended weekend Flickr Meet.

Since there was a full moon (and loads of rain..) I thought trails would be out of the question but thanks to a handy Eclipse (shut it Itsy...), the stars came out to play for a bit and I couldn't resist standing in the cold muddy field for a bit..

Have a looksy on Black

See where this picture was taken. [?] - which is flippin accurate!!

Sweet long exposure work, nicely done! I like the green tent ropes, and of course the star trails.

The blue glow was from Debs' huge supply of WKD.... lol...

This is a superb shot Steve and not because it is my tent! Wish I had the energy to join you and to drink my WKD. Friday night's lack of sleep due to the wind just affected my whole day.....had no Ooooomph...or is it Oooomf ( whichever!)

Fantastic shot, Steve! Shame I missed this meet! But the night sky was lush around here too for sure although we had a little more cloud! :P

Nice one Steve. Shame I couldn't make it, but today's walk was worth it. Glad to see that no one got over exposed in the tent :-)

wonderful capture, it looks really wonderful!!

Capt' Gorgeous says:

Agree with all the above, although I think I preffered the wine INside the tent rather than the standing about OUTside waiting for the exposure. I froze in my little tent that night.

Rob.Hudson says:

Strange noises emanated from within, a hissing preceded the opening of a hatch, bright light flooded the field and slowly and unsteadily emerged several strange wobbly creatures. Oh no! Scream!! It's the WFC!!!

Congrats Steve, who would have thought we'd even see a clear sky, never mind get anything as good as this. No 14 as I type :)

Nope no ND here.. Did a test shot at 3200 f4 for 30secs, checked the histogram then doubled up/down for 32 mins @ f8 ISO 200..
No filters needed... although the lens did start to fog up a bit...

That is brilliant Steve, really well done. I'm so glad it cleared up in the evening for you. Love the glowing tent here, and perfectly composed to get the pole star in as well. Hopefully you were busy watching the eclipse whilst the camera was taking this,

Absolutely incredible! Nice one on the Explore Position : )

How you had the motivation to get out there with your camera in the cold and wet, when there was a nice warm tent and plenty of alcohol on offer, is beyond me. I guess that's what they call dedication.
