TIPA – Madrid

TIPA – not sure which year, but we were in Madrid. Myself and William Cheung stayed on for an extra and popped round to Spanish Publisher and TIPA president,  Juan Varela,  for dinner. We had traditional Tapas and wine and spent a very enjoyable evening living like the Spaniards.

TIPA organised a visit to the Monastery of El Escorial and a trip by train to Sergovia

And in the evening we ate at Casa Patas  and were then entertained by traditional flamenco dancers

I dragged Will off to find a Spanish Cash Converters and bought a couple of CDs

The Olympus C-840L was launched at the Bluebird (Private Dining room), Kings Road  London, England.

As part of the event a Helicopter flight over London from Battersea Heliport was arranged, and gave us chance to try the cameras from a height.

The helicopter was a Squirrel AS355F and flew 1000feet over the River Thames following the river at 90 knots over to Tower Bridge on a 10min excursion.

I attended as editor of Digital PhotoFX
