I have just had my place confirmed, so there is currently availability. Unless I nabbed the last one, of course.

Same here. See you there Mike.

Nina and I spent the afternoon at the IPC Media offices, home of Amateur Photographer and What Digital Camera, listening to talks by Joe Cornish and Adam Duckworth. Afterwards, there was an opportunity to take part in a studio shoot using the Sony cameras which the event was promoting.

Good one Mike, you certainly didn't waste any time publishing this one

I enjoyed the day,but I have found it too taxing for me at the moment, got home but had no strength left to download the pics.

I have not had time to go through my shots in any great detail and this is simply a downsized JPEG straight out of camera. Looking briefly at the original JPEG, the A7R I used was revealing an amazing level of detail in the model's face and I could see every pore and flaw, neither of which were in evidence when seeing her in person.

I just did the same, quickly processed a jpeg with the same result. Every hair not visible by naked eye was there. Amazing!
