Actually in Warwickshire, and this is the location of the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) which is the home of the Photography Show. I set off at the crack of dawn this morning (7:30), had a stop at Hilton Park services and arrived precisely on time.

The purpose of the show is to publicise new products and services for the photography loving public. I bought a couple of items - one for me, and one for a neighbour - but was sorely tempted by a show special price of £70 to buy a drone.....but I resisted.

Here are a few pics from the day
