First Hangout

The hangout (google) was scheduled for 8:00pm, Sharon (fellow student and work colleague) arrived in plenty of time, the laptop was set up on a couple of upturned boxes (must start packing) and we waited, ready to start. Sharon and I talked about the learning log, her camera and general photography chat and realised that 20 minutes had passed and the hangout invitation hadn't arrived, that is until Sharon suggested that google+ should be open in order to see the invite and there it was! So, we joined the party a little late, Ray Skinner had been and gone but Michael Jarman was still hanging out. Hey presto, it works! we had a little intro and talked about the course and assignments and what we hoped to get out of the discussion. Michael had been to the annual Spalding flower festival and shared his images some of which had rain spots on them, what a shame for the festival, so much effort clearly goes into the creations. We agreed to 'hangout' every Tuesday at 8:00pm and see how it goes, a flikr group would be set up as a vehicle for shared images. Sharon will joing us again hopefully, we have huge plans for taking photographs, visiting galleries etc, I hope we do. :)
