The last post in this forum was in August last year.. thats 6 months ago.. slack asses the lot of us!

Anyways if there are still some Brisbane/Gold Coast etc members active here would anyone be in interested in a small model portrait shoot in Feb? As in I can organise a couple of models and we could decide on a location and time and spend a couple of hours practising our portrait taking techniques.

If anyone is keen let me know and we'll sort out the details from there..

Wow that has been a long time....But the forum has experienced a bit of a lull in activity over that period.

Portrait shoot sounds good...too bad it is not do able for me.

Re: Where is everybody??

gone to other forums?

I am up in the lismore area from time to time, depending on where you are talking about and if the planets align it could be a maybe for me.

Sounds like a great idea Sue. Just let me know when and where. Steve might be keen as well but I think Rel prefers to shoot wildlife than people! Maybe we could combine the two?

Sheesh I was starting to think that all the Queenslanders must be dead.. and tha may still be the case seeing as only one responded lol..

Okay we'll see if we get anyone else interested or it might just be me and you Simon.. (and anyone else that can get here).. and we'll tell Rel that models can be more snakey than those reptiles she shoots.. besides it'll do her good to step out of the box and try something new... *ducks in case rel is listening*..

i'm interested ... could do with some pointers as portraits are something i haven't tried

Okay well we have got three definites (obviously depending on date and time etc)... is anyone else interested?

And does anyone have any preference to what kind of themed shoot we do? (as in bikini, fashion, zany, bridal etc)..

I may be able to make it depending on time and date. I would like to learn a bit more about appropriate lighting and catch up.

I am interested...never done studio before

Sounds like a great day Sue.

I will be down in Brisbane (actually at Rabi Bay again) for father-in-law's 80th and sister-in-law's 50th. We will be there for about a week between Feb 23 and March 1. Whilst i couldn't participate fully due to family commitments I'd love an opportunity to call in and catch-up briefly if the day coincides with my visit if that's ok

cheers

there's different types ????
strewth! ... this just gets harder and harder

OK , seriously ... i'm easy as it is more about the picture taking than the subject that i'm interested in.

Hiya TC.. it won't be a studio shoot.. I've spoken to a model who is keen to do it for TFCD (her time in exchange for the photographers sending her a disc of images they took of her on the day) and we were thinking about a fashion shoot in the city. But its always nice to see new faces and you would be more than welcome to come along if you're still interested in joining us!

It would be great to see you again Marco! Unfortunatly I can't make that weekend for a shoot as I have a wedding booking for the Saturday and a portrait booked for the Sunday on the only weekend that you're here.. But maybe we could organise another dinner like last time to catch up?.



For those that want to attend the shoot - How is everyones availability for Feb 20th or the 21st?? Thats a Saturday or Sunday.. I think that Sunday would be better for a city shoot as its likely to be a bit quieter then but Saturday would be fine also.. let me know if you guys are available on those days and which date suits you better.. The shoot would most likely be late afternoon for the best light..

Hey Sue !!!
It turns out I am listening
and yes please - I'd love to have a go ... If I'm working, I'll come after I finish....
looking forward to it
Cheeky bugger

I can do Saturday 20/2, but not the Sunday.

I would love to come along too depending on times etc. No other commitments so far but work may come up in the meantime. Please put my name down on the list as a maybe.

Sounds good Sue even if it is just an afternoon drink and nibblies if you are too busy. Well.... Rel and Simon what do you think?
cheers

I've sent a message to the model to see what her availability is for Sat Feb 20th in the afternoon and I'll let everyone know how she is travelling for that time..

and Marco I'll try and chase up Rel and Simon and see what they are doing and where and when we can get to Raby Bay to meet you again..

I'm definitely on for a meetup with Marco & you guys again
Just let me know where, and when
And as for the 20th of Feb, pretty sure I'm off work that day anyway, so will be there with bells on

Had a blast last time Marco and someone has to protect you from Rel and Sue. I'll be there - just tell me when and where. I'm up at Camp Hill now but happy to head back down to the bayside if it suits.

That Saturday arvo is fine for me for the shoot Sue.

Hey Marco.. we are all up for dinner one night while you're down our way... same place etc.. how about you throw some dates at us when you are free and we'll set a date?..

Deleted.. double post..

Hey Sue,

I'm still kind of kicking around, but have been absent in the recent months. As I'm about to start serious thesis writing though, I'm sure I'll be on here more and more, looking for an excuse to procrastinate....

I would be interested in the shoot on the 20th, although I'm hopeless with portraiture and haven't touched my camera in months. So what better excuse than to dust it off and do some learning!

And as mentioned above, it doesn't sound like you or Rel have changed a bit....

L.

We'll be in Tasmania on holiday on the proposed date. Sorry.

Hey Marco.. we are all up for dinner one night while you're down our way... same place etc.. how about you throw some dates at us when you are free and we'll set a date?..

Well how does the afternoon/evening of the 24th (Wednesday) or 25th (Thursday) of February sound
cheers

Both sound good for me..! Rel.. Simon how about you two?

And as for our model shoot in the city.. it looks like I have two models interested.. both are experienced models and keen to help us out in exchange for images taken on the day sent to them on discs so they might be able to use them in their portfolios.. Both of the models have different looks (one is a tall dark skinned model and the other shorter, fairer and very vintage/retro looking) so it should be a great day!

Shoot date: Sat Feb 20th
Time: 3pm
Where: Brisbane City
The models with be with us for two hours give or take (if we are doing well and the light is good they are happy to stay) and if anyone is interested we could arrange to grab a bite to eat afterwards??

How many are coming to the shoot exactly?

I'll be there for the shoot. Hopefully the weather will have cooled down by then otherwise 3pm in the city's gonna be steaming. Probably 25th better for me for the dinner with Marco.

That's a shame Trevor - would have been good to catch up. But you'll have a great time in Tassie!
