I see DV is not happy!!!

Thats because he's suddenly realised he hasn't got a pint in his hand!!!!

Na. Its disappointment because he did not win the LOUDEST shirt competition.

Oy!!! I was seen several times without a pint in me hand!!!! I had cans AND bottles from time to time  [;-)

Andy you git  ;) My worst side. Mind you the best ain't much better.

Was that during T & La Touche? I closed my eyes to soak up the rain music and atmosphere a couple of times.

I have a much beter picture of you from later on - will be up later.

...and who's this, sneaking into this topic (sorry, Colin, last photo here...)

Edit: Colin says: Watch the above link. It generates pop-ups.

It's unavailable Keith  ???

I can see them Keith, and they are jolly lovely

Jude

I can see them too thanks Keith !

I can see them too. They are great.

You know, I think there must have been something in the water because Nutts seems to have been stricken by the same malady as DV [;-) [;-) [;-)

I was there... ray of sunshine! Awwww bless.... hold on does that mean you can't look at me directly?

It baulks when it gets to me and Puggs. Don't blame it really.

Big Dave loaded in a flash though  ;)

Nick looks happy enough, despite the rain.

Nice photos Keith...
I'll be printing me off and superglueing it to the fridge, as a warning, directly.
Also given me an idea for making money.....those dodgy cosmetic surgery firms are always looking for suitably horrendous 'before' pics......I smell a small fortune coming my way ;D ;D ;D

However, I have just chucked a certain hat in the bin (someone might have mentioned the resemblance to Ena Sharples :o) LOL !!!!!!

Any more sunsets out there?   Can I help it, I like sunsets :D

A sunset.

Help! Can anyone tell me how to resize images without losing definition? A lot of these photos are starting off around 400kb.
Thanks.

I use this, it's reasonably straightforward :
http://www.irfanview.com/

Thanks Goutboy, I'll give it a try.

By the way, there are some nice Cropredy pics on the Richard Thompson site today.

Check out http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx is you are using Windows XP

A quick download and a really simple way of resizing

Here are my photos

http://aewebb.co.uk/cropredy/2005/index.htm (http://aewebb.co.uk/cropredy/2005/index.htm)

The originals are 3072 x 2048. If anyone wants an original copy of any of the shots please email me at alwebb 'at' aewebb.co.uk




Edit: Nick Says: I have edited the email address, I hope that is ok? This is a public part of the board that can be read by anyone, including web-bots and those who like to send spam...

These are fantastic shots - what is the camera?

Great pictures Spykke.....

[attachment deleted by admin]

Canon D10 with Canon 75-300 telephoto lens

Presumably you mean a 10D. Which 75-30? The IS one? I have that and love it.

...and who said amateur photographers could be anal, really  ::)

Just out of interest - should that be a 70 - 300 or 75-300 or am I just getting all confused  ???

Some more up now in my gallery.  Apologies in advance for those that are slightly pixelated - I had to do a lot of resizing to get them to fit.  Full-sized (clearer) versions are available on request.

The eagle-eyed among you will spot only one or two Fairport pictures and no Dylan Project or Richard Thompson pics.  That's because I haven't decided which ones to put up yet.

Fabulous photos Suzanne! Thank you, that bear sure knows how to take a good piccy!!!!!  ;)

Indeed 10D - typing was never my strong point. Its a basic ultrasonic model - I can't afford IS.  :'(

this just summed it up

And that is going to be Godfather to my new son when he's born .....

Rumour has it that Corpulent William is not as well-blessed in the flesh department as he would have me believe.

Is so-called Fat Billy as wobbly as he makes out? Does anyone have any photographic evidence of his Body Fat Ratio?

I'd be very obliged if someone could point out the deceiving blighter to me.  

Thanks awfully
Sir Robert Peel
Members' Records Department

To be honest Sir Bob, I was talking with Billy for some time before I discovered who he was on account of the fact that he is not actually fat.

Paul

I must admit that on the occasions thatI have enjoyed Corpulent William's company, I've never noticed him being ... er .... Corpulent.

Mind you, compared to me, who is?  ;)

No, indeed. He is virtually svelte :)

I was going to start calling him SB but realised that it might get confused with those boys from Essex.

Sandra

Grassed up by me mates, whatever next?
OK guv is a fair cop, I'll come quetly.
It was a plea for understanding in a mechanised ethos

That and I thought that cuddly bill did'nt have the same ring

Sir Bob sir,
myself, Gower Flower and others can bear witness to William's lack of corpulence :o
We, with others, spent much valuable drinking time trying to persuade said Billy to provide
a more accurate avatar. His present avatar, we feel, is breaking all trade's description rules
on accuracy of description.
I feel I can speak for all those who expressed concern/confusion, when I say that we would welcome your invaluable support and advice in this travesty of description.

Thank you Sir,

Mic - truth will out ;D ;D ;D

Can't we refer to him as "The artist formerly known as ....."  (or maybe "The pi$$-artist, formerly known as ..."?)

As soon as said done...................

[attachment deleted by admin]

I say, what a striking likeness, Randle ;D

Sandra

I'm reckoning that as you lot were all so drunk last weekend (shame on you ) no one even remembers what i looked like anyway  ;D

Once seen... never forgotten !  :D

Ah thanks..............i think !!

Me.

I have the photographic evidence......just got to work out how to get it here :o

he sold a 62 precision to buy that?

folking.com has an album of Cropredy photos loaded here

Peggy?  That's not Peggy.  That's Jean Luc Picard!  You went to a Star Trek convention by mistake, didn't you!  ;)

Thanks Johnthegonne, great pics!

Methinks a spelling lesson might be in order though...

Rick? ? ? ? ?  :o :o :o

Mic - like Ric

Jim ,  Peggy didn't have sell anything to acquire his new Grafter bass. He took delivery of it at Cropredy on Friday, it was a gift presented to him in exchange for his endorsement of the product.   ::) ...............alright for some 'innit ?

Nice try Mix, but I think you might find yourself towards the rear of a fairly long queue.................. 

Just got my Cropredy photos back!!!!!

What a photogenic bunch you are ;D ;D I've got, what I think is, a great album of the best buch of people on the planet ;D

There are a few of you that I missed, I'll track you down ;)

And as for the man 'in the hat' in front of me (whichever way I shuffled) during FC's set....I will find you, and we will talk.......or at least I will >:(

Mic

Do you mean a Crafter bass?.....

btw - My website is up & running again....now to get the Cropredy photos sorted & up....

These are small in size, if they fit here, I'll post a few.

[attachment deleted by admin]

A couple more..... ;D

[attachment deleted by admin]

And a final three.....the last one was taken after the Teenage Cancer Trust presentation. Well, Folkicons found something funny.... ;D

[attachment deleted by admin]

I think we were all sharing a joke about the weather and the prospects of play in the cricket!

There are some excellent (and as he's a pro, I'll criticise too) plenty of people's backs (why?....) in this set of photos here (http://www.mcnairn.org/DATA/McNairnORG.nsf/dx/fairport-cropredy-convention.htm)....

BD & Olly - a superb shot of both of you buried in there.... ;D

There has to be a caption contest for this

http://www.mcnairn.com/PhotoGallery/Events_Room/Cropredy/People/pages/WA7O6652.html

How to dress correctly for the fest!

(http://c:\temp\DSCN0539.jpg)

Can I criticise too, please?
The photo labelled as Jah Wobble is of his pipe player Jean-Pierre Rasle, not Jah himself. Nice photo though.  :)

I've photographed Simon & Hilary too, but I wouldn't bother publishing that one.

No-one slagged off my photos, did anyone look?

Personally, I wouldn't publicly 'slag off' any amateur photographer, for the simple reason that we're all amateurs. But by putting your photos up for sale, I reckon that makes you fair game for criticism.

Well, I don't sell Croppers photos. But I do appreciate constructive criticism.

Cutthroat business selling photos. Personally I just like giving mine away - happiness is worth a lot to me  :)

 Peculiar wimmin in strange hats do not make good subjects (warning, taking pictures of this kind may seriously damage your camera) :D :D

Mic

Found an interesting one - "I'm singing in the rain!"



[attachment deleted by admin]

Know the limit of your (telephoto) lens & don't try for targets too far away.....

Oh, and people's backs do not make good photos.... ;D

[the latter above comment was aimed at Andy L's request for constructive criticism, and NOT Keith's photo directly above, in which I can only (just) see one back. This original post was being typed as Keith posted his photo, which was not visible when I previewed my post]

For goodness sake Chris, please lighten up.  If I want to take one of people's backs getting wet in the rain I will.

We don't all want to show / take perfect photos of beautiful lighting with huge lenses, sometimes real life is more interesting  :-\

Please read my edited comment in the post that you refer to.....it wasn't addressed to / at you at all.

Actually they do if they are sufficiently atmospheric. And remember, the most comerciailly successful photo ever taken was of someone's back.

iwasnt particularly disappointed with the wobble pics,mr wardle's not that good looking,but when you stick snaps up on the tinterweb youd think fotos labelled jah wobble would actually feature more than his suit and hat
 btw was it Fairport acoustic? because  i never saw Gerry either

We don't all want to show / take perfect photos of beautiful lighting with huge lenses, sometimes real life is more interesting  :-\
[/quote]
Too right. I can't be bothered with more and more photos of Fairport and the gang myself. I'd much rathr view idosyncratic crowd shots.

However, there are those for whom it is their best side ;D ;D ;D

Mic - mentioning no names, but I can see my reflection in the pc screen :-X

Chris, you added the quote, and the comment in square brackets after I had posted my response.

I do stand by my feelings though - I like the atmosphere of Andy's photos, they make you feel like you are in the crowd amongst friends which is what Cropredy is all about.

And as for peoples' backs not making good photos, well this may not be a great photo, but how does it make you feel?



[attachment deleted by admin]

Well I ain't going to buy any, but I think they are the best Cropredy collection I've seen in a long time. Well worth a gander!

My photos are definately private reminders only, but I like all the ones of backs/flags/umberellas, cos that's where I was last weekend!
- oh and my 'private reminder' favourite is of Chris on the VIP side of the barrier completely swathed in mac and plastic!

Indeed, as an explanation to your post...


Indeed again. I like Andy's photos a lot.

If you read back up the thread, you'll see that my first comment about photos of people's backs was made in reference to a different (pro) photographer, who featured them rather heavily on his website. Hence the smilie when I repeated the 'advice' in response to Andy's call for constructive criticism. The only photographs that I criticised were those of that McNairn.com pro guy.


It's a moody shot, made as much by the face as well as the back. Either on their own wouldn't be as good a shot.

Oh my god.......................what happened?  :-[ .................Run for the hills!! Oh well too late to worry about it now!
Good one of Peggy and deebee BTW

Where's me Fez gone? ??? ;D

Is this McNairn chappie a board member or something?

Perhaps he is a disgruntled member of "that other place" who has turned to stalking this board's members - there do seem to be an unusually high proportion of photos featuring august (and otherwise) members of this institution. :o

I feature a couple of times (how embarrassing are those photos) and Dave and Randle feature too.

Someone has just looked over my shoulder and said that someone can't publish a photo of someone without their permission- infringement of human rights???Does anyone know if this this correct and what if BD Olly etc don't like their image being seen around the world- is there anything they could do. ::)

Good point Tasha, htis did cross my mind.  Personally I'm not that bothered by somebody putting up a photo of me on the 'net.
What would bother me is if that the image was then used to make money. (Not that anybody in their right mind would buy a photo my  ugly mug!) without asking permission.

I think this just refers to children? I know we can't photo's at our daughter's nativity with prior permission from the school.

Thats a different matter.

The Nanny state discourages all photography of children other than at private (i.e. at home) functions because obviously if you want to record your little one's performances in School plays and the like you MUST be a paedophile.

Absolute cobblers, of course.

There's a big debate in a few photography magazines at the moment about the "effects" of showing people in photographs.  It's very strict in London in particular - I'd have to get the magazines out for more information.

Anyway, none of my pictures of Talkawhile members are for sale.  If anybody wants me to remove their face from my gallery then please let me know and I will do so.

Heck No!!!! everybody deserves some comic relief, leave mine there sweets ;D ;D

Mic

I have just found this info:
You can't make a profit from a picture of an individual "man off the street"
without the written permission of the sujbect in the form of a signed model release.Iif you don't have this  you would be breaking the law. If pictures are used in a way the subject is unhappy with the subject can sue. :o

Don't think it's breaking any law, but yes, the individual photographed does have rights for which compensation can be requested (in a civil court, if necessary) if the photographer makes money from a photo with them as the subject without written permission.

If it just appears on a website without your permission, you can insist that it be taken down if you so wish. There would be no compensation (assuming it's just a shot in a crowd like these are, and nothing more incriminating)

That is not correct. It is good practice for photographers to get signed permission from a subject for use when they take the shot. They should also make it clear what the photos is likely to be used for. I have a standard form I use all the time. But it is not a legal requirement. There has been a recent case in the West Country where a photo of a member of the public was used initially for a tourist brochure and then on train station posters. She complained (and was interviewed on Radio 4). The company removed the posters out of good will (and presumably bad publicity) but they were not legally obliged to do so.
If you couldn't sell photos without the permission of everybody in them you'd never get any crowd shots!   

A lot of concert / festival tickets do have a term in the T&C's that advise of you being filmed / pgotographed & advisde that purchase of said ticket means you deem to give your consent.

There is no legal redress if you are snapped in public. Some parts of the country frown upon pictures of children being taken - but again, if they're not in/on private premises, there's no legal problem.

I tend not to do lots of pictures of kids because a) misunderstandings do arise and b) I find adults more characterfull.

Several professional photographic mags are debating this right now because the Mayor of London has proposed making the taking of pictures on the streets of LOndon illegal. Total bosh and unworkable. Did you know that it's illegal to use a tripod in the bounds of the City of London already? You can use a monopod, however.

Apologies for this being slightly off-topic, but I wasn't sure where to put this request.  (If any of the moderators want to move it to a more suitable area, please feel free)

This is probably only aimed at those of you who were/are members of the FC list, for reasons that will become apparent.

If anyone has photos of Steve Burgess (aka Budgie), please would you email them to me.  Those of you who know Budgie, should know why, but if not, I'll explain privately. If you're not sure if you know him, a photo of him can be found at: http://www.mcvax.org/jhma/fairport/cropredy2004/crop2004-Pages/Image166.html which was taken at Cropredy 2004.

Sorry for the interruption.

Donna

some very nice shots posted so far !

for anyone interested, there is a short report/dairy, with pics and video, from the muffin men at

www.oldgreygoat.co.uk

included are some shots from the stage which include a few audience shots, you might be in there?

there is also a large video file of the last few minutes of the muffin men set, taken from stage rear, again, featuring a cast of thousands, but the file is a 20meg download - you have been warned

we are seeking any video footage that may have been shot of our set too!

x

Here's a few I shot..... :D

Very happy to forward the full set - IM or email a reply to the email I've sent the oild goat. ;D

[attachment deleted by admin]

Nice shot, Nuts! Lucky I was there to hold 'em up.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Of course, if anyone would like to buy approximately 274 photos selected from previous years Cropredys for a mere £15 which includes a donation to the Teenage Cancer Trust,  please visit my website and order from there, or there are some shops listed  which still have a few copies.

I'm delighted to be able to say that my book 'Festival Folk' sold very well at Cropredy, but there are still copies left from the limited print run of 1500. I have absolutely no intention of re-printing, so these will be (hopefully!) treasured collectors items one day !! Please buy now while you still can !!!

Cheers
Joss (please Mr Moderator, excuse my shameless plugging!)

I've said it before, I'll say it again  ;D  This publication is A) fantastic in its own right and B) snags virgins like you wouldn't believe and C) limited to only 1500  ???  :-\. (No, I don't know Joss  ;) )

On cold winters nights, with no festivals in sight, a leaf through Festival Folk will bring a glow to your soul and a smile to your lips  :)

Heck, if you buy it and regret it, send it to me and *I'll* refund your money  ::)

E. (Please Mr Moderator, excuse my shameless honesty!)

Only if you let me see that photo you of me, Chris Pegg & our Jude.....

Oooeerrr missus.

Collecting it tomorrow - fingers crossed!!

oo-er indeed Chris! When was that? Can I see it too please Joss?!!

Jude

For a small fee, Jude !!!!  ;D

(or for a larger fee I will withold it !!)

fees donated to Teenage Cancer Trust of course!

Aaaargh! Crikey! What? What was I doing?

Jude :o :o

Standing on my left foot?.....

And Chris was standing on my right.....

Oh yes I remember now. Really strange thing to do wasn't it? ;D

Jude :D

"Festival Folk" is absolutely BRILL. Well done Joss. And all for charity too - bought mine on Sat.

Could something charitably similar be done with older photos from Cropredy? You must all have BILLIONS. For instance I took quite a few slides at "Farewell Farewell Fairport" in 1979, and several in subsequent years - notably a murky but at the same time revealing  :o shot of Professor Bruce Lacey and partner in 1982 (if you were there you'll remember, Ohmigawd). And one of Linda Thompson - rare or what?   

And others must have lots of shots of audience and bands - what for instance about Don "the Indian" at the bar? Roy Wood's big band with the ladies in hot pants (ooer)? Muzsikas? Filarfolket? Heather Wood? Peggy's various beards? Simon without one?

I know the objection to using old slides was that one's irreplaceable shots would disappear or be crunched but one can now either scan 'em oneself or get a competent processor to do it, then they could go onto CD-ROM.

Maybe I should have IM'ed Joss? Has anybody any experience in book publishing?

Cheers - Ed 

Yes, yes that's the man I was drinking with at the bar, such a knowledgeable chap. He tell you anything you wanna know about the Kooooiiiiisserrr Cheifs - most enlightening  ;D

You mean the Koyza Chuyeefs?

So, 'at was you bein' fass'natin' was 't?  :)

I wondered where she'd wandered off to. Came back with flushed cheeks and talking like a shipwright. Filthy monkey.  [;-)

Thanks Ed for your kind words. I'm very glad you're enjoying it.    Volume 2 is a real possibility, but I must sell out Volume 1 first.  Is there anybody out there who hasn't bought a copy of Festival Folk  yet, or perhaps people might need to stock up with birthday and Christmas presents ?

Now that I've published my first book I'm looking forward to my next, I have the ISBN number already!!   Although I think I have enough photos to choose from for Vol 2, certainly your idea of gathering up other people's vintage photos is a good one and I have been thinking about this.  Watch this space !!

cheers
Joss

Possibly just the crazed wanderings of an absent mind but...
does it seem to anyone else that there doesn't seem to be quite as many Cropredy photos appearing as there was last year?
I'm not complaining, I just wondered if there weren't as many taken, or if I'm just diving further into senility, and completely mis-remembering last year ???

Mic - confused of Plymouth (but only just  ;D)

It's not your imagination - no competition this year and some of us have a lot less time (fortunately). I find the laborious loading process for the albums a pain - which is why I only loaded one with a pointer to the rest.

Well I threw some pictures up on the Homepage provided earlier for speed , it is true; but will enjoy picking some others to put to the Photo Albums for others to share.

I enjoy looking at everyone's pictures, and think the effort is worth it... perhaps I just have more time to goof  :D

(... or hide from the ever-increasing Nuthouse Horde  ;D)

Have to admit I haven't gotten around to sorting mine out yet either.  I've got a dozen or so good 'uns, but one Cropredy crowd looks like another to me, so I didn't take so many photos overall this year.  My main trouble is I've got the photos on my home computer and 512k dial-up is sooooo sloooooow, I really have to set aside an evening to upload them all.  I'll do it soon, I promise.  I've got a couple of really nice sunsets for Mix!

Ahh Anna, best news I've had today :) I do love a sunset ::) and I'm looking for some new ones to frame for the wall (my old ones seem to have faded a bit).
Looking forward to seeing them ;D

Jude

Are those knees licenced, Chris?

I'll have you know that Simon N complimented me on those - saying that they were far better than his or the bands!

There has just got to be a joke in there somewhere ... I just can't think of one at the moment!  ;D

They're in better condition than his kid-knees?

OK, I put up some of my pics.
They can be found here: link deleted. no longer works

Lovely photos Jen.........the sunsets are great!!!
I just see me rain poncho in the T&LaTouche one ::)

Can anyone tell me why I am unable to see any of the photos posted in this thread?  ???

I'm guessing there is a setting somewhere that I need to change but can't figure out what.

I'm guessing it's because you're a newbie....I think you need your post count up to 10?...???

Hi Folks!

I've been enjoying everyone's Croppers pics, they make me feel I've been there vicariously!   ;)

Did anyone get any shots of the Hamsters playing, by any chance?  My friend is a fan and I'd like to show him what he missed! 

Wish I could have been with you all.  Ah... maybe next year... :)

Only the one I'm afraid, and not particularly great, if you want a full resolution copy IM me.

Just look at what you 'orrible lot are doing to my lovverly piccies.....  HUH!!!!

AmyJen ;) ;D ::)

No, but I always fancied it, the drama, the high expectation, Rumpole, meticulously tekin the opposition to the cleaners, turnin to an un-supposin member of the court and sayin In fact it was you David Hughes that wrote Smack up my Bitch wasn't it? (sharp intakes of breath from the folky camp) and such like.

Yes, all but a dream.......

Right then I have had to undergo a complex process involving taking my films (You remember them don't you) to a shop to have them processed and then scan them in on one computer and transfer them via Floppy disc to this one (The 21st century has only partly reached the house of Volt but Hey Ho let's go.

Of course not Issy is a fine and upstandin member of the Talkawhile set and would definately not go in fer that sort of behaviour.

The latest issue of Amateur Photographer (cover date 3 September 2005 but is on sale now) has a road test of two cameras and the test was undertaken at Cropredy a couple of weekends ago.  Pictures of Richard Thompson, Chris Leslie and Julie Matthews feature prominently.

Got it...  nice pix...  nothing wrong with them that I can see...  far too picky!!!

AmyJen ;)

I want to know how they got such good photos of Richard Thompson - mine looked alright on the LCD display but were **** dreadful when I put them on the screen. ??? :(

Walter Heger put some nice photos on his homepage www.foreveryoung-germany.de (http://www.foreveryoung-germany.de)
