STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

[craig.rohse]

Hi there!!!

Only a week and a bit to go in 2009!

Was wondering if anyone is interrested in another Street Photography minimeet, before the year is over.

(Sat/Sun 26/27th December) maybe at Darling Harbour/Circular Quay.

(Hope you don't mind that I have used some of your images Gerry, Gary, Suren and Matt)

[Geoff]

I'm defintely keen for the 27th..will see if the wife will join us too

If using the area around the Quay, I would exercise a little caution, as there are regulations surrounding commercial shooting that are in force.

While those rules bear no relevance whatsoever for what you're proposing, the underlying problem is that those who enforce the rules might not be aware of what the rules actually are, or that this is not a commercial endeavour.

[surenj]

I can't make it during this time. Hope you guys have a lot of fun! The last one was a blast!!!

= They will kick you out and make a fuss. Yep this is a real possiblity.

You are right Gary, it could be a problem. The last one in Newtown was great maybe someone here knows a good spot for this sort of activity.

Would love to see how it goes with a different audience.

How many did we have in Newtown about 80 or so in a few hours?

Anyway I am open for about anything

[Geoff]

How's about somewhere in Manly (perhaps along the Manly Corso somewhere?).
My thoughts are if that we do end up being asked to pack up and move on, we can..
Maybe go to the nearest pub and have an ale or three?

(perhaps along the Manly Corso somewhere?).

I think that would be a perfect area. Lots of passing foot traffic, plenty of pubs, B&J's on the corner.

Need an area with a suitable background.

[Geoff]

I will try to suss out some backdrops tomorrow.
If we get asked to move on I think it would be
somewhat amusing to ask the person who asks us to move on for a photo! ROFL!

Great Manly it is!!!

Thanks for having a look for a suitable location Geoff.
Something not RED would be nice

What do you think is 1200hrs good for you and then for say 3 hrs?

[surenj]

thing not RED would be nice

Craig, if you use some flash, you can make it red, bright red, dark red, or black... ;Lots of options.

White or black background may not provide you such a choice.

I can't wait for the results of this.... wishing I could attend.

(Sat/Sun 26/27th December)

ahh man, would love too, but I am off up the coast

Anyway I am open for about anything

not to be taken out of context of course..

Poster looks neat, would consider a different font thats all!

Look forward to the results guys!

[surenj]

Yeah, maybe try Calibri (Vista font, which you can download for XP) which is my favourite at the moment.

This font has a space invaders type of feel however...

[biggerry]

Did it happen? did i miss the results? If not are we keen for another date

[surenj]

Doubt it. I haven't seen any results so far?

[craig.rohse]

Sorry guys it didn't happend, the weather wasn't up for it on the weekend and I had to much to do as well, but would love to get it in as soon as possible might have to ask Geoff if he is still up for it.

Manly would be fantastic as location.

I am going to be back in Sydney on Thursday so how about this coming weekend?

Maybe we can get a List of who wants to join in!?!

[aim54x]

I would be interested...but I cant do saturday (work)

[craig.rohse]

Well Sunday sounds great weather is going to be mostly cloudy which would be nice.
Just need someone to find us a nice place in Manly, I can't do it will be gone until Thursday.

[Geoff]

Apologies guys...life has been somewhat hectic to say the least.
I am VERY keen but unable to commit for the next few weeks.

[biggerry]

probably lock me in, we just need to sort a date out can do either sat or sun but not the 16/17th.

[aim54x]

I may be out west this sunday it seems. But I'll keep you all posted.
