We've been discussing plans for a second PH photography trip offline via email, and its been suggested (and agreed in principal by the majority so far) that we fly back to Spain, probably Barcelona, on Thursday September 27th untill Sunday the 30th, which coincides with my birthday - yay!
party

In summary, all PH photographers are welcome of course. The plan is simply to enjoy shooting around the villa (with models) as well as in town, and have fun in the company of other photographers and fellow PHers.

Not all of us can afford to spend much time away from work, hence the 3-night long weekend plan. Lets discuss here online (rather than via email) where other PHers can read our posts and take part in the planning of this trip.

The sooner we can agree who is interested in coming this time, the better, so we can book a suitable villa well in advance (once we know how many rooms we will need) and then book flights early like last time, whilst they are still as cheap as chips.

Many thanks to Megy, Emma, Ed and the others for their help (and industry discount rates) in booking the last one, and sorting out the cars, it seems Ian is already itching to pick up the phone and start making arrangements - good man, well done and thank you!

So - who wants to come? bounce

I am only saying so that we can save some money, it did feel good that through getting industry rate we saved over 250 euros.

Plus it is nice to have something to look forward to.

Quite. And thanks. The discount was very much appreciated.

So thats Megy, Emma, brooke and myself so far ... Graham, Tony, Ed, Sarah, James and V6GTO need to confirm here, as well as anyone else who is interested in going, hopefully we'll have a few new faces along this time.

Edited to upgrade the smile for emma

Mentioned her to my mum last night and she said, "Has she got any brothers? Ooh Polish!" I kid you not! hehe

And she was disappointed that we never saw an old man with a donkey.
