25th September 2006 : Hipshot #01
Big thanks to Lynn and Rachel for organizing the meetup in Amsterdam, I had a great time. It was great meeting everyone and was fun to put faces to names or websites. This was a shot from the cafe we were in on sunday, shot from the hip (which I spent a great deal of the day doing and trying to get to grips with at different distances, while trying to look as though Im looking elsewhere). I prefered the faded dreamy processing for this one, just my choice. The VR really shows its worth sometimes, this was shot at 1/40th while walking past and was sharper than it looks before processing.
For those that know what two chocolates I took home, they were recieved with great warmth, I think they may be a bit of a mouthfull, but Im not going to be eating them.

Dreamy, works really well with this. And for a hip shot, not bad at all, nice one!As for the Chocs', i kinda knew you wouldn't be taking a bite ;-)

Hehe, I'm sure the chocs were appreciated!! ;-) Nice shot, the hipshots seemed to be the in thing (along with trying out Chrys's camera!!) this weekend, looks like you've mastered it well.

Wasn't called cockolate by any chance?
Great talking to you at the airport for four hours - longer than at the meet-up ;oD

At first moment I thought you shot this pic in Poland in Warsaw because few days ago I took pic of front side of cafe/club with very similar name and mark "illy".
Funny situation :)
PS Thanks to light this shot looks a little misterious.
