Hello mailing list. Last year we had a lot of fun taking photos at the Pride march in London. This year it's on Saturday 8th July and we can get press accreditation for photographers if anyone is interested in attending. You should have a professional quality camera. If there are any other events you would like to get press accreditation to go to, get in contact and let me know and I can ask for you.

Do the cameras WMUK have for loan count as professional quality?
Yes, your 5D certainly does. The other one just about.

I'll be going, this will be my 28th successive year at London Pride. It's been strange going from a time when there seemed to be as many police as us marchers to when you can hardly see any police. I have a Samsung NX500 (3/4 size DSLR) but only a 50mm lens, never feeling rich enough to fork out for the 200mm one. My understanding is that WMUK will only lend a camera to members, so I have not asked.
Meeting up with a friend at the start of the march and then we'll probably walk to a couple of other locations as it progresses. A press pass might be useful, but without a more impressive camera I'd not be comfortable approaching the PR team.
If anyone wants to try to touch base on the day, feel free to email me for my mobile contact, though I'm staying flexible depending on the weather.
Thanks, Fae

Brighton Pride should be good this year according to the website. It's right before Wikimania.

The 2017 Pride in London category has been set up. If anyone has photos from today please drop them in! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pride_in_London_2017
I managed to photo some of the groups as they were assembling by getting friendly with a steward, though in theory a pass was needed.

Nudge. If anyone has photos on their camera from last weekend's Pride in London, don't forget to upload them to Commons and add the 2017 category. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pride_in_London_2017
I'm going to be able to join Newcastle Pride next weekend, the march is on Saturday with the festival running from Friday through to Sunday. It's one of the UK's largest events with over 12,500 joining the parade last year. I'll be taking some photographs of the start. If anyone is handy for Newcastle, it would make a neat photography project, or maybe you just fancy the free festival events and the all night clubbing that the city is famous for and could share some shots afterwards that help capture the scene for prosperity. :-) http://www.northern-pride.com/event/parade

I'm hoping to be at Brighton in a couple of weeks, should be fun, though I'd be working.

Selected photographs from Newcastle Pride are now on Commons at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Newcastle_Pride_2017
By informally joining the press, I managed to get some decent portrait shots, the puppies were fun. The photo of the Lord Mayor at the front of the march seems pretty useful, as Commons as no other photographs of her.
I didn't manage to get to the festival, husband being impatient to spend most of the weekend getting to some museum collections and archaeological sites, the Mithraic mysteries being a local theme right now... some of those photos will gravitate to Commons later.

Added to:

I was surprised to see that a former Lord Mayor and deputy were still listed, the new one having been appointed in May 2017. Please will everyone check the article for their home city/ district or whatever is up-to-date in that regard?
