[BBJ]

Well if i can sweat talk she who i dont obey sometimes might let me stay another day or 2 so see what happens.

[Marvin]

Oh hell, duh! I have to coach netball in the morning and the afternoon too plus play the night before. Man, I hate sports seasons! I won't be able to make it - forgot all about it until I read Rookie's post.

[oli]

Interested... Will decide soon when I know in a bit more detail how busy I'll be then.

[aussichef]

My bosses are going away
no one to take my place
so i wont be able to make this one i'm afraid
i expect to see some good shots posted here though
Am going to try & get down to the city & get to the zoo again(seeing i'm a zoo member now ) lol
And also get to the botanical gardens, which i didnt get to last visit seeing my releif didnt show up for work & i had to cut my day short & get to work for dinner service
And i owe Fozzie & Ian an apolagy for cutting my day short on the 9th of May

Hmmm... What time of a morning ? I wonder if I will be able to get up in time... should be over a majority of my jetlag by then... Will ask the trouble and strife and see if I can get a leave pass for a few hours that morning.

So who would be up for breakfast at Pancakes at the Port ? Open from 8am, Mercantile Dock Pt Adelaide, can't miss it just to the east of the light house. One & All usually parked out front.

Cheers

[Marvin]

Wow - are your 6 months up already? That went pretty fast!

[psionic]

Wow - are your 6 months up already? That went pretty fast!

Nearly... I'm about 4 weeks short of 6 months... But you are right, I blinked and I was told to come home... 5 months literally flew by.

Work decided to restructure their workforce while I was away so I received my "come home" notice a few weeks ago. Just enough time to spend all my pocket money at Ace Photo

I've also taken a new position within the company that will see me travelling to the US & UK more often, so its not all bad news

Cheers

/M.

[Marvin]

BigV wanted me to tell you that he is in for pancakes at the port at 8:30am.

[BBJ]

I will follow lead of the BigV, oh and my Chaufer, not sure if that spelt right but yeh will hand with the furball Fozzie.

[Big V]

I am in for the breaky..visiting Marvin and the dial up is killing me!!! Fozzie, it has been windy, so we have to wait till tomorrow for the hot air balloons. They tried to get some up last night for a night burn but no real luck.

[fozzie]

Breakfast it is, pancakes yummie

It was unfortunate about the wind, hope you were not the course of it My fingers are crossed that things improve, so that you and Marvin can takes shots of the hot air balloons.

[BBJ]

Mate he is at Mavins, there is bound to be a lot of wind over there when they get together. LOL

[Ronza]

Hmmh, I'd be keen to meet some dSLRUsers members.

[BBJ]

Ronza, well this would be a good time to do it so just look back to start of this thread and info is there, so there will be a few of us and you are more than welcome more the merrier.
Cheers
John
BBJ

[Ronza]

Sounds like a plan John

[BBJ]

Well should be ok BigV picked the place so yeh we will follow and i am staying in Adelaide for this before i come back home to Mt Gambier and weather is going to be ok as well.

[oli]

I'm giving this one a miss. Have been to Pt. Adelaide a few times in the past two months or so allready (last time being yesterday) and am finding it kind of boring, in particular if there's no special boat visiting or some other attraction.

Such an early start doesn't suit me as someone in their early 20s anyway...

[psionic]

I will see if I can remember to pop down on Saturday and book a table large enough for us and gear. It's popular on Sunday mornings so it won't hurt to book.

I am about to jump on a airplane for the next 27 hours and come home to Australia... so if someone could do a rough head count and post a reply I'll make sure there are enough seats.

Looking forward to finally meeting a few more of our SA brethren, even if I'll be a bit jet-lagged.

Sheesh now your makin me feel old

/M.

[oli]

Sorry. I don't mean to make anyone feel "old" (what is that anyway?) but I know most of the guys here are young - just not as young as me.

[BBJ]

psionic, well i know there will be myself, fozzie, BigV and yourself and Ronnie says he might join in so yeh see who else come out of the closet.
Looking forward to meeting others as well as catch up with some good company.

[Marvin]

Mate he is at Mavins, there is bound to be a lot of wind over there when they get together. LOL

I tell you what, not much of the wind comes from me!!!

[DanielA]

well i know there will be myself, fozzie, BigV and yourself and Ronnie says he might join in

I've been following the thread and would like to be there, but I'm going to have to head into work sometime over the weekend. I'll let you know later in the week if I'll come along.

Daniel

[Ronza]

Yikes, I'll feel damm young then

[BBJ]

Well i am all packed and almost ready to roll in the morning, so i will see some of you on Thursday and others on Sunday for those attending minimeet.
Cheers

[Big V]

Man, I had to leave the room the other day when he let one rip. Disgusting!!!

[Big V]

Yes but whose friend fed me the whole cloves of garlic?????

[DanielA]

I'll let you know later in the week if I'll come along.

I'm afraid I won't be able to come along to tomorrow's meet. I look forward to seeing everyone else's shots.

Daniel

[Ronza]

Yep, I think I'll have to echo Daniel's post, things have come up and it appears I wont be able to make it tommorrow

[Marvin]

Have fun guys!

Based on previous numbers a table for 8 has been organised at Pancakes at the Port @ 8:30pm sharp. If you can find the lighthouse on Lipson St then look east (to the right facing the water) along the dock and you should spot the place.

It required a bit of fast talking but we will need to be heading out of there by 9:15 am at the latest. They were heavily booked but I managed to sweet talk them into it

See everyone in the morning. Look for a guy with a red tamrac camera bag sitting at a table... I will try to be there at 8:30am sharp.

Ok that should have been 8:30am sharp... man I need to get some sleep.

[beetleboy]

I feel sorry for ya guys..i'll be wrapped up nice and warm in my bed tomorrow morning! It's been too bloody cold for me to get up before 9am lately!

[fozzie]

Had a very leisure morning at the Port today. Started off with breakfast with Matthew, Faith (Mathhew's wife), Scott, BBJ and myself. Big V reported in ill, hope you are feeling better. Then we set about on foot with the serious stuff of shooting Then to finish up, had a chat over coffee and drinks, gee life is tuff.

Anyway here is some of my shots, taken with D2x + Nikkor 35mm f/2:







And to complete, a customary brick wall, doors and a window:

[Marvin]

Glad you had a good time. I like the first shot a lot Fozzie.

[Big V]

Fozzie, well done nice weather and some good shots. Felt better by noon, so all is well now...

[fozzie]

Big V - thank you for your comments.

Good to here that you are feeling better.

Unfortunately you missed out on a great breakfast.

[BBJ]

Looking good matey, have looked t mine but yeh not sure how they will look to others yet as on the laptop.

[BBJ]

Ok here is 2 of mine from today meet.


The three amigo's

Cheers

[psionic]

Fozzie, like the shot of the birkenhead bridge and the door and window looks good too.

BBJ... that was an interesting shot of the CSR building, like the B+W treatment. Not sure about the mug shot, hope we didn't crack the lens.

Will have a crack at mine tomorrow night, got a couple of keepers. Was a great day all things considered... Great to meet some other forum members too... More to follow.
