My Benro Tripod (C297) and ballhead just arrived with the FedEx man. I'm VERY Happy

They are beauties aren't they? it's a complete world of difference from 'velbon-shakey-land' :-)

Are we going to go for a night shoot after we meet the guy with our fancy new tripods then?

I have no fancy tripod, but can count me in if something goes on!!

Yip you can share mine, I have two base plates, so its a easy 10 second job to swap cameras on there

Thanks Craig

So does that mean some shooting micro-meet is going on??

Posted: **Wed Sep 20, 2006 4:02 pm**

Sounds like there is enough of us interested, we just need a time and place.

Posted: **Wed Sep 20, 2006 4:10 pm**

Sounds interesting - any idea of place/date/time?

My initial proposal:

Tomorrow, Thursday 21, evening after-work hours (5pm-6pm)

Place... hmm, where do everone work somewhere close in between us?

Im working in Chatswood, can be in the CBD city area by 5pm.

If people are close to the city, places like Milsons Pt or Darling Harbour can have plenty of good night shots.

Any takers or better suggestion? As I have to packup my stuff and take it on with me tomorrow if its a go.

That would rule me out as I work out in the sticks (Brookvale :twisted:

) and wouldn't finish work until about 6:30 anyway.

Are you guys going to the photomeet on Saturday? I think Craig is going there tho, not sure if you wanna make it on Sat, or Thurs.

On this friday, I have something else going on by 7pm, cant stay late. :roll:

I can probably do the night meet - depending on time and final location Patrick I could give u a lift.

Thanks Geoff, but I already drive - the problem is not the transport, the problem is getting there at a suitable time - I normally don't get home until about 7pm at the earliest anyway!

That said, depending on what day it was, I can always catch up with everyone at a later time.

I will stay tuned.

Are we seting down for Thurs or Sat night?

Posted: **Wed Sep 20, 2006 5:10 pm**

I'd prefer Thursday evening/night and I don't really mind what time.

Posted: **Wed Sep 20, 2006 5:21 pm**

Thursday suits me.

Posted: **Wed Sep 20, 2006 5:23 pm**

I can do Thursday night too. Likely to be #$%$ hot though, I may need a beer or two afterwards.

Top of only 25 tomorrow Trent, where as today it's top of 29 I think.

Unfortunately, won't be able to make tomorrow evening. (Have corporate box tickets to the Swans final on Friday and have to do some things at home before the weekend, which means tomorrow night only). (Actually, I just wanted to mention I had corporate box tickets to the Swans game....)

Sorry to hear you can't make it tomorrow Patrick.

OK - time and place tomorrow evening? I'd prefer around 6:30pm-7pm if possible.

I might also add that there's a small chance I may not be able to attend, but won't know until I see how much work I get done tomorrow during the day.

I would have to say the same, but who knows what turns up by then...

Now the place, where at?

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 10:30 am**

How's about we meet at Circular Quay at 6:30pm?

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 10:36 am**

I need to announce that there is still a possibility I may not be able to attend.

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 10:46 am**

Circular Quay... I'll check if I can make it, but that should be alright.

Thats if we still have a corum ?

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 11:24 am**

Arh yes, well either would do but I was refering to a quorum. :oops:

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 5:53 pm**

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 6:34 pm**

Hmm ok then, no worries. Another time!

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 6:37 pm**

Geoff
Good choice! It's a lovely package!

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 8:45 pm**

OK then where are all you guys? :lol:

Posted: **Fri Sep 22, 2006 1:02 am**

Would you guys like to organise a bit more of an earlier advised shootout next week or so?

So we post up on the events section and gather a few more people?
