Sunrise Shoot - TUESDAY Feb 2nd 2010

Postby Geoff on Thu Jan 21, 2010 4:03 pm

Hey all,
Chris (Rooz) and I are organising a little (max 8 people) sunrise shoot on the morning of Tuesday Feb 2nd and would like to get an EOI from people. Venue yet to be decided, but it could be on the south side (Bronte, Coogee, Clovelly etc) OR the Northern Beaches (Narrabeen, Curl Curl, Manly etc).

Please let us know if you're keen in this thread. Cheers peoples.

everything is south to you northern suburbs blokes aint it ?? lmao something in the eastern suburbs is a winner for me cos its quite central for everyone.

some photos then coffee and brekkie somewhere would be great.

for anyone interested, i will be bringing the 24-70 and zf25, (they take filters), but can also bring the 14-24 if anyone wants to use it. i also have a few screw in ND's, (B+W 77mm thread 10 stop, 6stop and 3 stop), so we can shoot at slower shutters for a while even after the sun comes up a little.

yeah...he falls asleep at work desk before lunch :rotfl2:

5am start at the venue or between 5 and 5:30am


yeah I could live with that - however I think maybe a fraction earlier might help, at 5:30 its pretty light from memory an dthe nice stuff is just before the sun pokes over. Nonetheless, you can probably put me down as a maybe.

Sheish..the Eastern Subs are winning. Do you folk know what ungodly hour I will need to leave to get over there? I'm not complaining (too much)...but coming from *cough* God's zone it'd be about 4:35am. I'm keen on wherever as I don't know those beaches that well either...will go with the highest recommendation. Maybe in the coming weeks we could have a Northern Beaches chapter?
