Ardfern for Argyll

Our second video training day took place - er, the other day - and for the first time for many of us we actually opened the camera box and pressed the buttons. Three teams - for there were three cameras available - were created and we all went out and invaded Furnace and its surroundings. Each team had different objectives, such as local signage, people/interviews, local historical sites.

Tony was lucky enough to be assigned the interview team with Dee, Lynda and Mags Russell, who was without doubt our demon interviewer. Ace at extracting more than two words out of a chap building a shed; a long chat with two visitors from Glasgow; a local chap with a spotty dog and, a gift for any photographer, two small children and their attractive young mum talking on the bridge and playing in the river. Under the careful direction of the rest of the team the subject matter gave Tony the best shots of all, though not the one shown above.
