Here's the deal.

This year, we're going to have a nice, friendly, casual get together at the home of Sheepie and Manda. It's all organised for Saturday December 13, (choosing a restaurant is always a hassle) and the more astute amongst you will note that this is the second Saturday of a second month, in keeping with our newly adopted 2x2 principles.

"What time?" I hear you say ...

2pm, of course, till latte! (Noting the penchant for coffee amongst some of us).

As well as the 2 x 2 x 2, there will be S x S x S, and hopefully a zero charge; we need to see the numbers first.

So, we can gather, take photos (maybe we'll run a workshop or two) and just enjoy the tidings and good will of the season. I'm hopeful that we will have some gifts for y'all too. Those who feel they have over-indulged will be able to sleep over at the Sheepies' too.

Please indicate your intention to attend in this thread.

And a very big thank you to Manda and Leon for their generous hospitality.

I intend to attend.

I should be able to make it for a couple of hours.

by **sheepie** on Fri Sep 19, 2008 9:08 pm

I guess I should make an appearance

by **ozonejunkie** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 2:40 am

I should be back in Sydney by then, which means I should be there! How public transport friendly is the destination?

by Pa on Sat Sep 20, 2008 9:39 am

i'll be down...sounds good

by **phoenix** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 10:26 am

Yep i should be fine for this one. I'd love to come for the drive and see everyone!

Not too bad - it's a couple of km from the nearest station (Revesby), but we should be able to get someone to do a pickup run if required. Buses run from the station past here, about hourly on the weekends I think. Can sort that stuff closer to the time

by **Geoff** on Sun Sep 21, 2008 9:32 am

Sounds fantastic.
I have requested to not work this day.
Bel and I would love to tentatively book.

by **dviv** on Sun Sep 21, 2008 9:47 am

I should be able to make it

Will be a little late though - Cricket game on that day.

by **Matt. K** on Sun Sep 21, 2008 3:30 pm

Put me down for 2. If we get enough newcomers I would be happy to run a Photoshop workshop. Nominate via this thread if interested.

by **stubbsy** on Sun Sep 21, 2008 3:49 pm

Count me in.

by **Sandy Feet** on Thu Sep 25, 2008 2:28 pm

I should be able to put a request into rosters to get this one off so you can count me in

Cheers
Rod

Can you suggest a better way to address that situation?

(Take that as a yes).

There will be more information on this event over the weekend. Leon is in the process of preparing an update for y'all.

The novelty will wear off. Give it a couple of months, and it'll be SWMBO :mrgreen:

She Who Must Be Obeyed.

I should add that to the acronym list that the new portal has given us.

Stop it will you, right now we're in 'wedded bliss' stop trying to burst our bubble

by **Sandy Feet** on Sun Nov 30, 2008 8:42 am

Unfortunatley after putting in a request to rosters and having my request granted, I have since been told I am required to attend my wifes grandmothers 90th birthday so will be unable to attend

Cheers
Rod

by **gstark** on Sun Nov 30, 2008 8:45 am

Rod,

So, where's the problem?

Just pack everyone off into one of your company vehicles and bring 'em along.

Seriously, family is important; nobody will suggest that you're making the incorrect decision here.

If anyone wants to learn how to clean their CCD...I'll have some gear with me and show you the ropes. Because of the small numbers requesting it the Photoshop Tute will be casual and brief.

I'd in for both

don't need to clean the CCD, but learning how to do it never hurts!

Thanks!

by **Reschsmooth** on Thu Dec 04, 2008 10:55 am

I am still trying to decide whether I play cricket (too many games of which I have missed already this season) or attend the Christmas GT at Leon's. I haven't been to a DSLRUsers meet proper for what seems like a very long time, but I am also trying to crack 100 wickets this summer (unfortunately, it would be career aggregate, not season aggregate).

I think my D300 needs a clean so I am in for it. BTW what should I bring for that, or should I attend the workshop before heading out to buy cleaning gear?

by **gstark** on Thu Dec 04, 2008 11:52 am

aim54x wrote: BTW what should I bring for that

Alcohol.

Single malt, bourbon, tequila, or a nice red are all able to be used through the cleaning process.

No, I'm not suggesting one of each.

Or maybe I am.

by **aim54x** on Thu Dec 04, 2008 4:13 pm

I'll keep that in mind!

Pec Pads and Eclipse E2 fluid is all you need. You can get it from Vanbars in Newtown. I'll make up a spatula for you.
Cheers! Make sure your cameras battery is fully charged.

You're baking as well Matt? Bloody hell mate, is there anything you CAN'T do?

Would this do? I cant find pec pads on their site at all

Oh god I am going to spend a fortune in there again!!!! I always do! I just cant resist!

by **Matt. K** on Fri Dec 05, 2008 10:05 pm

Cameron
YES...But you should be able to buy a pack of 100 Pec Pads for around $25. That would last you 5 years. Try NULAB in Melbourne...if they are still in business.

Got myself some E2 ($18.70) and some pec pads ($16.50 for 100 pack) from van bar. Will E2 work with the S5 Pro???

EDIT** Just checked and it doesn't, it takes Eclipse! But apparently E2 can be used on non ITO sensors HLP!!!!
