I'm lacking some inspiration...

So, I'm based in West London and am willing to travel an hour or so.

What can I go and photograph this weekend? (I know the weather isn't looking great; but send me some inspiration!)

Sport, wildlife, people - anything!

Might be a bit too far from you, but I'll be using my new camera as my wife takes part in the Race For Life at
Stratford-Upon-Avon on Sunday.

There's a sponsored walk going on in London through the night on Saturday. From what I've heard there will be tens of thousands of women walking round in their bra's raising money for breast cancer research or something. Gotta be worth a look!!

Bit of fun and some inspiration could be found at www.28dayslater.co.uk

Look in their Photography and Video forum or read a couple of "expedition reports". Bloke called "Zero" or something goes down drains in London. Gets some fairly amazing pictures too...

It will give you an amusing ten minutes if nothing else. I found 'em whilst researching reportage technologies. Not my thing Drains - but the spirit of adventure is alive and well I'd say. hehe

Come & take some photos of me looking knackered - I'm doing a 26 mile walk for charity around London. Starts at midnight & runs through the night...

The MoonWalk 2007. Have a look at www.walkthewalk.org

Are you Martini?

Would be rude not to meet up then as I live 5 minutes away from Duxford.

I'll prob take the new lens if its sunny. (I go on the scooter and miss all the traffic and park for free, then use my Blue Peter badge to get in free)

Blimey !!

Maybe a PH Photography Forum Mini meet is in order !!

I'm going up there by myself so you'd be more than welcome to jump in with me if you wanted to. Though I'm afraid i cant provide something as nice as your Noble, just my little Clio Cup laugh

Probably up the M11 !

I prefer A1, A505 as its a slightly better route (plus a couple of tunnels!!! Why did i sell my TVR !! Doh!)

Well, thanks guys.

Duxford sounds like a plan; seems like a mini photography-outing is also on the cards!

Not sure I'll make the meet up, but, I may make it for some photos.
