A Grand Day Out by rich57

A Grand Day Out

Still can't quite believe a group of relative strangers all met up and wandered around London, taking photos and chatting and laughing.
It was great to see the faces behind the photos.
This is the exit from Bank station and you can see Azza and Isla behind the blurry Andy C.

5 things I learnt from the 365 meet-up

1. 365ers are even better in the flesh!
2. London can be pretty chilly this time of year
3. Andy C is a very tall guy
4. Canon seems a popular brand for 365ers
5. I really need a proper bag if I don't want to break my lens...

Thanks everyone, especially Steve for organising and Ross for, well the whole thing I suppose.

Interesting shot. The curves are a great contrast to all of the tiles.

January 30th, 2011  
Oh this is sweet! Haha, I'm glad you learnt something from the experience :)
January 30th, 2011  
Seems like you learnt alot! Just by looking at these last 2 photos I've learnt something too. Isla is a very smiley woman hehe
January 30th, 2011  
Nice one! Very your style - although why am I always grinning gurnishly in all pics I've seen so far ... - yes lots of Canons - that was funny and the first thing I thought when I saw Andy was - how tall! You get a kind of accurate, but also inaccurate, picture of people from 365 thumbnails - glad your camera seems OK ...
