Title says it all :up:

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 :up:

)

Timeframe, I was thinking in the next couple of weeks, I am pretty flexible since..well its a 5 minute walk for me :rotfl2:

ha, no problem sleeping...just never enough

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

by **Remorhaz** on Mon Feb 28, 2011 7:07 am

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

by **surenj** on Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:42 pm

Keen but quite busy in the next two weekends.

by **biggerry** on Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:23 pm

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.

by **surenj** on Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:47 pm

Should be managable...

by **surenj** on Mon Mar 07, 2011 10:27 pm

And a rope.... :mrgreen:

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

by **colin_12** on Mon Mar 07, 2011 11:01 pm

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

by **surenj** on Tue Mar 08, 2011 10:25 pm

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.

by **Elver** on Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:33 am

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

by **dviv** on Mon Mar 14, 2011 11:27 am

Can't make either day now

by **surenj** on Mon Mar 14, 2011 2:34 pm

getting some ideas....

by **Remorhaz** on Mon Mar 14, 2011 4:05 pm

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

The 27th would be fine for me too.

by **surenj** on Tue Mar 15, 2011 1:47 pm

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.

by **surenj** on Tue Mar 15, 2011 5:23 pm

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

by **biggerry** on Wed Mar 16, 2011 2:38 pm

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

by **dviv** on Wed Mar 16, 2011 2:56 pm

Just to add a little more confusion: :twisted:

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

Worth meeting up before/after and including the walk?

by **surenj** on Wed Mar 16, 2011 5:58 pm

Same here. :mrgreen:

Zombie walk... :roll:

by **surenj** on Wed Mar 16, 2011 6:02 pm

Apaprently the zombies are donating to the Brain Foundation of Australia! :roll:

[I wonder whether it's the usual brain faoundation or the splattered brains foundation :mrgreen:

]

by **biggerry** on Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:31 am

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

by **Elver** on Thu Mar 17, 2011 12:01 pm

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

by **surenj** on Thu Mar 17, 2011 12:55 pm

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

Just confirming if this is still happening this Sunday?

by **colin_12** on Thu Mar 24, 2011 9:20 am

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

keep me posted Colin

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. :up:

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.

Elver wrote:Just confirming if this is still happening this Sunday?

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

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 :rotfl2:

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?!

by **aim54x** on Thu Mar 24, 2011 11:15 pm

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. :up:

by **Remorhaz** on Fri Mar 25, 2011 6:57 pm

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...

by **surenj** on Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:16 pm

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.

by **surenj** on Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:52 pm

by **biggerry** on Sat Mar 26, 2011 8:26 pm

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.

by **surenj** on Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:53 pm

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

haha, classic, its great when these things work out..

wish I had more time for the newtown stuff...sooo much to see..

by **biggerry** on Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:02 pm

oh, pluck it..theres my ass again....I tried soo hard to avoid getting that on camera gain...ya coulda at least liquidified me to give me some extra muscles or something... :rotfl2:

by **surenj** on Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:32 pm

by **Remorhaz** on Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:15 am

The boys hard at work

Suren... - and I actually arranged and liked this one as a shot (not 'just' to grab Suren in a photo

)

by **dviv** on Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:41 pm
