Title says it all well almost..

Its been quite some since I have gotton out in the back streets of Newtown and Enmore for a stroll and taken some images of the ever changing landscape that is Newtown, Enmore Erko, St Peters etc...

Anyone keen for a morning session in the area followed by coffee/tea/juice/chai (or whatever ya fancy)? It could even be a case for the the peeps with family to rock up for the coffee session, kids welcome...(not discouraging anyone without kids btw )

Timeframe, I was thinking in the next couple of weeks, I am pretty flexible since..well its a 5 minute walk for me

Love to join you Gerry. Not to early though....some of us can sleep.

ha, no problem sleeping...just never enough

I was thinking 8-ish is that too early for you non-early types...?

Sounds good - a Sunday would be better for me if possible

Keen but quite busy in the next two weekends.

Alrighty, its gonna be the weekend of the 19/20th (either Sat or Sun, preferrably Sun for me)- might even get out to coogee or somewhere equally close for a quick and dirty sunrise session.

Should be managable...

But, please lets all keep dry.

do I need to bring a life jacket along?

And a rope.... We will just tie up Rodney to a rock so he doesn't venture out...

I will be up the coast so no go for me. Enjoy gents.

I'm a possible for either the 19th or 20th

no probs, we need to hook another fungi meet Colin, its now autumn, isn't that to golden time for fungi?

cool, pushing for 20th (sunday) at this point, i stuffed up and thought sunday was the 19th

20th is ok for me.

There was a bit about last weekend but not heaps of interesting stuff like last time as yet.
When we get a cool wet week that may be a bit more interesting.

keep me posted Colin

Sounds great. I'm available either day. Thanks.

Can't make either day now

getting some ideas....

Damn - I can't make this Sunday sorry - I could most likely make the sunday after however

Remorhaz wrote:I could most likely make the sunday after however

The 27th would be fine for me too.

Also We could squeeze in a sunrise as well. It's the best time now and you could rock up at 0615 and still catch the best light.

I reckon we should try some strobist stuff with the graf....

the 27th is an option for me, but not a definite.

is the general consenus for the 27th?

I am gonna do sunrise on sunday this w/e irrespective

Just to add a little more confusion:

The Zombie walk is on the 26th from 3:30pm. http://www.sydneyzombiewalk.com/

Worth meeting up before/after and including the walk?

biggerry wrote:I am gonna do sunrise on sunday this w/e irrespective

Same here.


Zombie walk...

Apaprently the zombies are donating to the Brain Foundation of Australia! [I wonder whether it's the usual brain faoundation or the splattered brains foundation ]

Alrighty, I am gonna lock this one in for the 27th March. I will advise on times and locations shortly...

I wouldn't mind joining you for the Sunrise session this Sunday too.

Elver, You are more than welcome! please check your PM for our numbers.

Just confirming if this is still happening this Sunday?

I know this is not necessarily the right place Gerry, but......

It seems as though the cool wet weather has started already. I am able to get out on Saturday but only up near Blackheath and Weni falls. If this weather continues then we could go out most week ends and find different stuff to go macro on.
I will be limited for a while as I am looking after the missus (just out of hospital, yes all is good) and the gromit. If you want to organise something I would obviously be keen, you know several spots up here now and the lane cove bushland park is a place I would like to visit.
Hope you all have a great day out on Sunday and better weather than forecast.

I am definitely in for Sunrise on Sunday Morning, the tides will be pretty crap but, you get that

The graf /street session is a goer for me, irrespective of what ya'll end up doing I gotta go back that way so I was gonna stop and check out a few spots, Also depending on time Syndye Uni is just down the road so I might even get to that exhibition there too.

thanks for the update Colin, good to hear your better half is doing well, I understand about time pressure especially given your battling both fronts

Lane cove would be interesting, I have not been there for yonks, if your keen to come down one weekend we can definitely tee that up.

Another session up that way would be awesome, maybe in 3-4 weeks we can tee up a autumn colour session and fungi session for one day?!

Sorry guys, I will be second shooter at a wedding on Saturday, and will not get back to Sydney until Sunday morning, after which i will have to meet a few other people urgently in preparation for another job....

This sounds like a plan to me. Will keep you up on the colour progression for the Autumn thing.

I'm very up for Lane Cove as well.

Gerry - do we have firm details for Sun yet - time and place to meet for Sunrise?

yep, its gonna be early, thats about as firm as it gets

nah, will PM details tomorrow, it will be northshore. tides are ordinary, however weather forecast is for sunny/clouds which could be a winner...

WE need to make sure we choose carefully for sunday morning. The tide is only 1m and receding. Any suggestions for a lowish tide locations??

From memory, long reef may be good(ish). I don't know about whale beach etc.

whale beach is too far for me given that it may be just an oridinary morning, I am saving that one for a prime condition weekend! I reckon Deewhy would be ideal, its also nice and close to long reef which is also a known quantity.

np.

OK, Dee Why it is for tomorrow morning sunrise, for those interested in coming to Newtown for some graf and street stuff, I/we will be there around 9ish and will be hanging around souther newtown and the main drag (near the train station) for a couple of hours. Just pm me if you don't have my mobile number.

PM's out for those interested in sunrise time and location, as before just PM me for details.

Thanks Gerry for organising this. The break in the rain was almost perfectly timed!
