While I was otherwise detained at my lunch at Cafe Sydney this afternoon, I noticed some very nice images on the wall (do I ned to paint the whole picture for you? ) of the coathanger. Not your ordinary every day images, but images of small detail elements - the rivets, joints, girders, etc.

I thought that this could make the basis of a minimeet - a bridgewalk. but with the express purpose of making images of the minutae that comprises the bridge.

Is there any interest in this? And if so, what dates would be of interest?

And I am perfectly happy for places other than Sydney to join in as well.

This one tempts me greatly.
Timing would be all important though.

Def interested...timing would be very important for me as well.

Great idea Gary and could even be combined with the excellent value $9.50 pylon climb. I am interested dates permitting.

count me in

For those so interested, yes.

Dates?

December? January?

What suits y'all?

I'm in!

Between crissy and new year, or any day from 1st to 10th Jan would be good for me

I second that. December is a bit full on for me with most weekends chalked out. Would Love to bridge it in January.

Sounds like a great idea, count me

I did the pylon earlier this year and it rated very highly for me...

as for times, I am easy, would prefer an early start though

Sounds very attractive to me! Sometime in January would suit me fine (December is a bit full already).

Cheers
Steffen.

I'm interested. And the date of sometime early January sounds great.

Ok,

Early January gives us Saturdays 2 or 9, or Sundays 3 or 10.

How about a weekday?

Not sure of everyone elses postition but I'm on enforced leave till the 9th

Sounds good. I'll be there if possible.

If I'm not working, I too would love to attend!

interested.

I'd be interested in Jan 9 or 10. Not back on Terra Australis until Jan 3rd. ....Although it is on my way home from Mascot!

How do the masses feel about that?

Fine by me.
But are we going to be hauled up by the rozzers because we are planning a terrorist attack?

I would like to think so.

weekdays rule me out, I am going back to work on the 4th. Sorry

I would like to come but for me, it would have to be on a weekend.

New to the forum and new to Sydney.

Very interested in this anytime in Dec/Jan

And nice to meet you all

January 9 then?

Time of day?

Although that's a Saturday, unless it's also the start of the FoS, I'm thinking maybe about three hours after noon, with perhaps dinner somewhere afterwards.

If this is the same date that the FoS commences, then we should do this before lunch, probably from the northern side, and then evacuate by around lunchtime.

And we will be looking forward to meeting you too.

Very interested. I will be flying back into Syd-er-ney around 7-8 Jan from OS so might be able to swing it, but not sure. I haven't been able to see any DSLRusers for a couple of years so it would be good to catch up.

Weekdays I prefer after 1845.

Less keen on weekends in January.

people still keen for this?

I can't make this....

Still keen!!!

I'm still interested. Any weekend would be OK except Feb 6-7.

yes....

still keen too

How does Sat February 13th....or February 20th or 21st suit people? (all weekend dates though ...)

Saturdays are bad for me.....but have fun!

21st Feb is a Sunday?
Althought the Chinese New Year parade is on that night I think (might just be another meet idea in that in itself)

and those were just dates that work well with meeee

I'm keen.

I'm keen.

21st wouldnt be bad.....then we can do a double meet

aim54x wrote:21st wouldnt be bad.....then we can do a double meet

Some clown in their infinite wisdom has put Tropfest on the same night as the Twilight parade which is on the 21st Feb...so 21st isn't sounding that great to me anymore ( I am quite keen to head to Tropfest ). Of all the weekends, in all of the months they had to choose the same one.

Isn't the 13th the 2x2 meet?

ATJ wrote:Isn't the 13th the 2x2 meet?

I believe it is meant to be one....another that I cant make...dammit!

Do we have any more details for this? I can't make it for Sat 13th but I will be driving down to Sydney late on that very day with my daughter.

Is anyone interested in transforming this into a Harbour Bridge micro meet on either Monday 15th or Tuesday 16th in the late afternoon/early evening?

the Monday (15th) would be good for me

Sounds good to me. If there's enough interest, we could meet after work hours at say, the Quay, get some nice late afternoon shots of the bridge and the Rocks. Maybe then a ferry over to Luna Park for a different angle? All weather permitting of course.

We'll see what happens regarding interest.

Ozi.
