Video: 24 hours of Global Gathering 2009

So I got bored last night, and found that Picasa can turn a photo album into a video, so I put my 1,000-ish photos from last weekend in and this came out the other end… :o)

Global Gathering photos fail :o(

I’ve only just got round to unpacking my camera bag from Global Gathering and it looks like one of my camera’s memory cards – with about 750 photos on it – is still somewhere at Long Marston Airfield.

I am absolutely gutted :o( Sorry to anyone whose photo I took before about 2am, as your pic would have been on that card.

I’ll post up the best of the remaining 300-ish photos when I’ve worked through them. It looks like I should be able to upload them to the GG website, and I’ll send them over to my flickr page as well.

Cheers ‘n sorry!
