    My mistake - I thought the original post was for photos of us taken at a specific time all at the same time around the country.

    But if you want a generic dance floor photo taken at a specific time, that I can easily do as it means I wont be in the photo.

    Nah, I don't want to see all you lot, you're probably all ugly.

    But mainly, I don't want to restrict choice of topic - just pick something at your venue, take a photo, send it in. Easy-peasy.

    Re: ""Forum photo" day

    I can probably do one on Monday, assuming the venue manager agrees of course.

    Cute idea, though I personally wouldn't participate, seeing as I don't have a digital camera it's just too much hassle to get it posted.

    I'll take my camera dancing (it likes a whirl) but I'll probably forget to take it out my pocket at the appropriate time ā€“ I'll be too busy enjoying myself.

    Re: "Forum photo" day

    OK, so far we've got 12 volunteers doing approximately 16 venues presumably. Most of them seem to be Mondays, but what the hell.

    Organisers / teachers - if you want to take photos, I for one won't object.

    (Of course, I reserve the right to ignore them if I don't like them )

    Anyway - excellent, it's a good start, let's see if we can get 50 or more.

    In terms of "what do we do with the photos", my first instinct is to create a new dedicated thread for the photos only (and keeping it photos-only by zapping extraneous comments from that thread).

    Then, when all the photos are in, we could move them to somewhere a bit more sophisticated such as a specific picture gallery in the "photos" area. Does that sound sensible?

    I could use my camera phone and do Dorking on Tuesday (unless I can persuade someone with a decent camera to come along)

    Re: "Forum photo" day

    I'd suggest posting them to the photo gallery in the first instance...

    They can then be gathered into a specific gallery afterwards.

    Mmm... no, I think I prefer my approach (because it's mine of course) - mainly because it gives a bit more initial visibility, and because it's easier to edit around before "publication".

    Also, there may only be 1 photo there

    Amazingly enough, some venues have people who aren't on the forum - let's go crazy and take photos of those people.

    I've also heard a vicious rumour that some forumites won't be taking photos, so they should obviously be photo'd and shamed too.

    I guess I'll have to volunteer to do Muswell Hill on the Thursday, since there aren't any decent photographers that go there...
