Thanking all members at the mini meet & photoshop workshop today.
Hope everyone's enjoyed and have had a good time.
Especially thanks Matt.K for your time of preparing and leading the group into exploring the secret of Photoshop.

BTW, Melbourne members can ask GregB to run a demo of CCD cleaning from today. Thanks for your time with the Sydney gangs today.

I am more than happy to pay for downloads if required. There was talk about capturing it but not sure what the final decision was?

As Birddog says: next week.

It was originally going to be today, but someone decided to go and spend a week in Honolulu with his girlfriend. Never let it be said I don't have a life.

Birddog, thank YOU for opening your house to us (once again)!

See you next week. If there is anything you'd like me to bring along, pls let me know (ie video camera etc).

Cheers

It was good to meet you all today, thanks

Thank you to opening your home to us

Although I have no idea (apart from a few) who everyone was off the forum - very hard to remember :oops:

Regards,
Tommo.

Thanks to Matt for the workshop, and Birddog for opening up his home. It was great to meet everyone......now I only need a great printer to print off the even greater images I will have photoshopped based on the teachings I received today....

....... lookout bankruptcy, here my husband comes :lol:

Great to meet everyone today. Perhaps the PS workshop group attendees could share with us what they've learnt from MattK. As they say, the best way to understand something is to teach it to someone else.

Anyway, the outdoor meet was fun. We sat around and talked and before you know it, the day's passed!

Thanks to Mr and Mrs Birddog once again for hosting us. The spicy noodles we had for lunch was delicious.

Posted: **Sat Feb 05, 2005 7:25 pm**

Yes - thanks to the Birddog family for the usual hospitality! Out-of-town members really do not know what they miss by not having these meets - it is one of the many things that sets this forum apart from any other out there

For those interested, I've posted the more viewable pics from today on my gallery...

Of course, it includes a duck pic...

See you all next time!

Posted: **Sat Feb 05, 2005 7:55 pm**

Great photos sheepie (even the duck!)....I look forward to the next time I can get there!

Geoff.

And a big thanks from me too, to Birdy and Mrs Birddog for the fine hospitality, to Matt for the excellent PS workshop, and to Onyx for the lift to the airport (I assume you found your way home OK).

It was great to meet some more of the Sydney members in the flesh!

cheers

nice shots sheepie... which lens is it that onyx has in the 'say cheese' shot?

Posted: **Sat Feb 05, 2005 8:55 pm**

Birdy, thanks again for your warm hospitality and a wonderful morning and i enjoyed the chat we all had.

It's so enjoyable to talk 'shop' with people who understand the fascination with photography.

which lens is it that onyx has in the 'say cheese' shot?

It's the 200-400VR, the mysterious beasty itself....

Greg, glad you got home safe. It was great to meet you, and your mugshot is now forever a part of the forum member's gallery on Pixspot.

I did spend some time driving around the airport trying to do what we saw those Canon guys do... but I couldn't find a spot to stop and take pics from.

I got a great shot of the common housepest sparrow from the 200-400 today, I'll post it when I upload.

Posted: **Sat Feb 05, 2005 9:20 pm**

Let me echo everyone's thoughts about the hospitality at Birddog's base :lol:

The mini-meets keep going from strength to strength and are certainly a highlight of my week.
