About Taken this afternoon at the U.K. usefilm meet as Steve Bowden gets really annoyed with his Oympus camera?s inability to capture a flea dancing on the head of a horsefly. Here Steve is pictured wrestling his cam to the ground and referee, Den Thompson, awarded a submission and then a technical knockout to the rapturous applause of the audience ~ comprising Margaret Sturgess, Ade McFade, Henry Fulls, Ken Krishnan and Chris Spracklen. They were later joined by Alastair Bell.

Ken, (who made the trip from Northern Island), said: ?I thought the cam had him there for a minute, but Steve battled back bravely to bring the bout to an unexpected end.

Asked if he was enjoying the day, Henry, (Chris?s guest and a long-time Usefilm watcher), answered, ?Well I guess it?s all about the camera-derie!?

It was one of those occasions when we could honestly have sent you a postcard saying, ?Wish you were here!?

Best regards to all our Usefilm friends!!

Chris

It could have been a lot lot worse Michele - it may have been a thatched roof instead lol

A great time was CERTAINLY enjoyed by all, it was a wonderful meeting with wonderful like minded people. We had an absolutely fabulous time and a weekend was far too short !!

We would recommend this to everyone.

Now regarding that Usefilm tattoo on my head, either I am commenting too much or my photos are so bad that Altaf has me doing advertising for him :-)

Chris, you tinker .... I am sure Den has a few "interesting" photos to come back with lol

Super to finally meet you :-)

Best wishes,
Steve

hey up Chris,

This was the first thing Den showed us this morning - clas piece of work on the head. All I seemed to get was complete pixle burn out when that part of his anatomy got in the way!

Defnintely one of the poses of the weekend.

Hopfully my "plumbers bum" will not find it's way on here!

Great to meet you and Henrey (make sure he gets an accoun on here - and POSTS!) and hope to get you guys up north later in the summer.... the sed has been planted!

Cheers

Ade

Looks like a death grip He has on that poor Olympus!Now, will it still take good photos for Him or will it hold a grudge?Have never tried this before , looks like it could be dangerous!
I love the advertisement for Usefilm on His Head!
A fun day and great photo Chris!

Sounds like you folks had a great time. I don't think there are any usefilm people around here, at least that will admit it. Had one guy once then he disapeared before I could meet him. Huh might be me ?
