Do you like the idea of an exciting night of photography that will be exploring the “other side” of Canterbury, Kent.

You will be touring the City’s haunted streets with professional photographer Alex Hare, and John Hippisley, of Canterbury Ghost Tours, who will be your spiritual tour guide for the evening.

As well as learning about the city’s rich history, you will also learn night and cityscape photography techniques. Working closely with Alex Hare, you will develop your photographic skill set as well as obtain those essential tips of the trade from an industry professional.

We will also be offering a special something to anyone who captures something truly paranormal.

Tickets: £55 per person.

Miscellaneous

Do you have any information/stories you would like to share to go into the next E-Bulletin 3.  If so Gary Carter would be delighted to receive them by 20 January 2013.  Gary’s e-mail address is gary-carter@sky.com.

Chris Verraes (chris@ducklithography.com) is an ex-lithographer and printer and has had a career in high quality photography book printing.  He has got an old Dainippon 1045 ai drum scanner, still in good working order. But it has to go.  He would like it to go to a good home where it still would be used. The alternative seems to be the tip…

Is anyone interested?  It’s free to pick up, comes with an old G4 as it runs on OS9 software, two drums, mounting table and some sundries.  It’s ideal for scanning film and prints up to A3. Photographers who still use film or have a desire to digitise their archive or make digital prints would welcome this machine as its scanning quality still exceeds all modern ccd scanners.  It’s quite large (but will fit a van), reasonably ugly and tremendously heavy, 3 people needed.  It’s absolutely free to collect from Biggin Hill and if needed I’ll even come and install it and show how it works.
