Small but important thing that I forgot to mention:<br><br>The porters didn't want another folder like with squash so I'm going to
put a booking sheet on the door of the darkroom. Maximum booking time is
for 2 days, so people can have photography weekends. Just sign on the
sheet, and take the key to the darkroom out from the Plodge.<br><br>Sorry to fill inboxes,<br>Happy snapping,<br><br>Rob<br>

Dear photographers,<br><br>Now, don't say I never get you anything. At long last, and after shedding a great deal of blood, sweat and tears, there will be, as of today, a lovely <b>DSLR for all to use</b>, stored in the darkroom! <br>
<br>Woohoo!<br><br>If you have given me your name already to be on <i>ze list </i>for using the camera, you should be able to take out the keys to the darkroom from the Plodge in order to access the camera. Let me know if you aren't on the list and want to be included (it's free!), and I'll see what I can do about it.<br>
<br>For the super-inquisitive, the camera is a Nikon D70, with a 28-70mm Sigma lens. <br><br>For the so-super-inquisitive-they-should-be-doing-something-better-with-their-time, here's a good review of the Nikon D70:<br>

Taking photos is a game: it's got rules. And you need to learn these rules, and get serious about them, because it's NOT A GAME!<br>
<br>This is a really great gain for the society, and I want as many people to use it as they can. Get taking pictures!<br><br>Hope you all come to see the upcoming exhibition in the Arts Festival as well, and you can register your interest for the (limited) places at the figure photography workshop that will also be taking place that week, on the Arts Festival website (<a href="http://www.queensfestival.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.queensfestival.co.uk/</a>). First come first served.<br>
