Birddog114,

Saturday regular mini meet is from 8:00am -12:00pm

It might be best to say from 8:00am to noon, rather than 12:00pm (midnight).


Cheers,

[stubbsy]

birddog

I'll be there.

Isn't 12am midnight....

Well I was hoping for something a little more "grand" for my 500th post, but anyway....

Birdy, I have a couple of quick things to do early, but I'll be there about 10am and MCWB if your reading this, I'll take you up on your generous offer re the loan of the spyder.

Cool, I have to be in and out of uni relatively constantly around then, but if I can't be there from 10-12 I'll leave the Spyder2 there for you to collect.

MCWB,
How did you go with the S1? will you bring it along to show to our member?

Birddog
I was supposed to have lunch with the Prime Minister and Julia Roberts but I have cancelled it to come to the min-meet.

Birddog
My wife won't let me come to the mini-meet. She says I love my D70 more than I love her. I'll be there as soon as I have finished with the marriage councelor.

In terms of deciding between having lunch with them or Birddog, it's truly a no-brainer. Birddog wins by a country mile, plus daylight.

[MCWB]

MCWB,

Truth be told I haven't had any time to play with it yet. I can probably bring it to the meet if people are interested!

[stubbsy]

Thanks yet again to birddog and his delightful wife for another great meet and for the very yummy pizzas and soft drink.

As usual it was nice to catch up with both old and new faces and also to share a little of the lens lust around

Thanks also to Geoff for the world's biggest croissants and to Chryssine for the fantastic Greek shortbreads (yumm - having a stolen one right now!)

[Frankenstein]

This was my first minimeet - I had no idea Sydney photographers were so good looking Thanks to everyone for making me so welcome, and thanks to Birddgog for your hospitality - and I promise to bring more $100 notes next time!

[johndec]

Frank,

Good looking??? I think one of us went to the wrong place

[Geoff]

It was a great meet as usual, I particularly enjoyed playing with the nocturnal lens of Birdy's attached to the D2X...hmmmm nice! The pizzas and soft drink were yum too thanx Birdy and mrs Birdy. Hope to see you all again soon.


Geoff.

Roll Call

gleff, Frankenstein, stubbsy, spada, wendell, killakoala, paul, geoff, gstark, nnnnsic, rick, johndec, mattk, MCWB, joet

A short one because Birddog had to go North (as he follows the Winter bird migration, I guess ), but certainly full of many and varied moments of interest.

As highlighted elsewhere, Gary exhibited his latest acquisition (mercredi , merde or something... gott in dammerung, I never could get those German girls names )

Wendell confused himself by asking intelligent questions about the best lens to buy and got different answers from everyone present

Peter Stubbs maintained the group's high spending level by investing in more hot hardware.

Mattk did even more great work demonstrating CCD cleaning and basic PS techniques.

......in short, just like this mini-meet, small, but beautifully marked

Onyx, you just should have been there .... and so should all you other people who have yet to grace us with your presence.... you won't be sorry.
