Eigg Workshop Images
I had a great time conducting a workshop on the Isle of Eigg mid September. It’s always a very social time for me – there’s nothing better than spending a week engrossed in photography with a bunch of like-minded individuals. I always come home from the experience feeling that I’ve made new friends.
The only downside I can see to conducting a workshop is not having enough time to make my own images. This is understandable because the point about the workshop is that I spend time with the participants. However, it often works that many of the guys on the trip get so engrossed in what they’re doing, that I have to take a step back and disappear for a while and let them get on with being creative. That’s when I’m able to make my own images.
So here are a few examples from my recent trip on Eigg. I hope you enjoy them. I’m going back to Eigg next April for a workshop there. Perhaps you might be tempted? ;-)
Hi Bruce,
You still got a couple of beauts there.. I particularly like ‘leading lines’. Was it me that was on the other side of the dyke when you took this? (http://www.flickr.com/photos/timparkin/3969435641/)

p.s. Shame we didn’t get to meet up. Look forward to bumping into you properly eventually :-)

Hi Tim,
Well well well…. I know Richard was on Eigg but had no idea you were there too. I didn’t have much time to make images and managed a quickie at the ‘leading lines’. I saw Richard across from me and had to ’shout’ over to him to ask him to come out of view. I think my image has his LF camera in it!
I didn’t get much time to speak to Richard either but we had a very quick ‘hello’ and he made a joke about him still having my Schneider 72XL he bought from me a few years back when I dumped LF.
Sorry I missed you. I had no idea, but also, the workshop was quite busy, so I didn’t really have much time!
