magnificent men in flying machines

I applied for tickets but have been unsuccessful - who has some and have we enough or are we changing plans?? Also was this week's portrait supposed to have Jewish content ?? I DID have a lewd offer from 4 teenage boys when I mentioned my task, but declined - and they weren't anticipating wearing kippot!! I should have lined them up anyway but.............

Red Bull Flugtag

Hi all,

After today's session I mentioned to both David C and Darren S that I'm planning on going to the Red Bull Flugtag next Sunday (where people fall into the Roundhay Park lake in a crazy contraption in the hopes that it will actually fly) both Darren and David seemed interested in going for both fun and the photographic opportunity it presents so David suggested the possibility (if we can all get hold of tickets) to go as a group and then have our usual meeting later on on the day.

If that's of any interest I have 3 spare tickets at the mo' and am trying to get some more, if we are all interested i urge you to all to apply for tickets asap they are free but there is a ballot to get them so no guarantees you will get any but if we all apply for 4 each im sure we will be able to easily get enough between us for everyone.

Here's the link:

Once on the red bull page there should be a link to the right of the screen which takes you through to ticket master where you need to follow the instructions remembering to apply for 4 tickets though.

Thanks,

Paul.

Most of the photos were taken at about 2.00 pm on an overcast day but with the subject facing the incoming light from a large window. Flash was used to supplement the natural light.
