EOI in Adelaide AW Meeting, 8 or 9th Aug, 2009...

[fozzie]

This weekend is to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of D70Users.com/DSLRUsers.com.

The following ideas come to mind:

Saturday - 8th August, 2009

Meet in the City at 2-2:30pm for several hours of shooting followed by a Cafe meal in Rundle Street East.

or

Sunday - 9th August, 2009

Meet at Cudlee Creek Cafe at 11:30am for an early lunch and then off to Gorge Wildlife Park for an afternoon of shooting.

If you are interested, please indicate either Saturday or Sunday. As usual majority rules.

[DebT]

Hi,
great idea , I'm avalaible both dates so happy to go with the majority

I'm free both days as well. I think the city has more options if it rains, like sitting in the pub, so I'll lean that way.

[DanielA]

I should be able to come to either day.
I'd probably lean towards Sunday. Just to balance it up. But I agree about the possible weather issue.

[spesh]

I'm new here, so be nice

I play soccer on Saturday, so Sunday will be my choice... been watching the forums for a while, and always looking for other enthusiasts to team up with!

[Big V]

I am in - either day works...

I will bring the new beast along so we can all have a play - start your gym workouts though it is considerably heavier than anything else we have used...

[Marvin]

Have fun guys!

Virgs, your appendages just keep getting bigger!!!

[Big V]

Lee, I may have gone too far this time!!! It is so much bigger than anything else in the kit and even makes the 300 2.8 look small and light! Boy oh boy is it an awesome lens though and so friggen fast.....

[darklightphotography]

I'll be there. See you all on the day.

[jaff]

Another good meet, although I recall more eating than pic taking

Lens envy?

My best pic from the day

2s @ f11 ISO200 for those interested.


There was some discussion about the legal rights of street photographers. I usually carry a PDF from the Arts Law Center that details street photographers rights. Basically, so long as you are not taking pics for the purpose of sexual gratification of people who are undressed or engaged in private acts, then you are in the clear.

NSW lawyer Andrew Nemeth has a page at http://4020.net/words/photorights.php with more info and links to specific legal precedents that is well worth the read.

virgs cant wait to handle your "big thing"

cheers rob

Lens envy?

Of course! I'm sure BigV now wants a smaller lens that he can hand hold...

Some of mine from the day:

[Big V]

Boys in action

thats awesome! these lads could double as the aus special forces - great shot as they 'storm' the subject..

Some of mine from the day:

DanielA, that first shot is really noice! the reflecting blue from the pyramids is lovely (never thought i would use that word )

[DebT]

While some of you may be thinking the Adelaide Boyz are just over compensating ...let me assure you some things in Adelaide are just BIG ...REALLY REALLY BIG



Have fun

Nice pic Deb. So there was a use for those sky shots after all?

[DanielA]

No I dont...

Sure you do...

Thanks. It's a surprising hard sculpture to capture.
