However its darker than you think and a lot of things can get in the way presenting significant technical challenges. For example a good photo of Puffing Billy would require a wide angle lens and either more lighting equipment than you are likely able to lift or a camera with some serious low light ability. If someone has got some decent flash kit then a better version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waxwing_(Rocket_motor) would be nice. For a technical challenge I suspect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERNIE is near impossible to photograph well.

[Wikimediauk-l] 'twas the night before the AGM...
All, Just to let you know that all but one of the candidates for the board have now answered at least some of the questions on the UK wiki. I am sure they will make interesting reading for everyone, and I want to apologise for the delay in getting these out to everyone. I also have a few points to remind you about (sorry for the email overload): - There won't be the opportunity to ask formal questions tomorrow, but each candidate will have the opportunity, if they wish, to make a 2 minute speech. - The deadline for proxy voting is, of course, tonight at 23:59 BST (that's local London time, NOT UTC OR GMT) - if you can't make the AGM tomorrow, PLEASE ensure you get your votes in on time! - There will be cameras and filming equipment around, however, if you don't want to be filmed, you'll be able to have a sticker on your attendees badge to indicate this to everyone. - Remember to bring your cameras and smartphones for the museum tour. Photographs will be allowed throughout the museum, and the venue is quite impressive inside!

Proxy voting? Missed that. Just back today from a 2 week tour of the American southweat, shattered and plan to just chill tomorrow. I'll try to find out about proxy voting.
