It's almost like you can hear the door creaking in the background :roll:

Most are still here lurking but not posting many pics I guess. That would be me at any rate. :oops:

We need people like you to keep it up and interesting Gerry. You are certainly doing well at getting people out and about. Which is just great by the way. :cheers:

I know I will be a bit on the busy side this year...........but am still interested in what happens here.

by **ATJ** on Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:40 am

I stopped posting images ages ago. I still post other discussions. Maybe I don't count.

by **radar** on Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:42 am

Busy right now, sporadically get a chance to see what's up but haven't had a chance to post photos in a long time. :oops:

by **Remorhaz** on Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:56 am

I, too am still here....just haven't been actively participating alot in recent times.
I visit pretty much daily and read through the new posts (where possible) but haven't been contributing (for no real or valid reason), it just hasn't happened.

Other priorities have kept me busy in recent times and the camera has a thin layer of dust on it at the moment....but I do look forward to wiping it clean and starting it up again...just not sure when as yet.

Until then, I'll enjoy the great images and discussions that go on here as they keep the embers burning for me until I can get back to taking more photos of my own....and being more of a participant in the forum again instead of a spectator.

I have had my head down working on my Project 365, but more often than not I am posting snapshots there, I have not really had a chance to get out and take photos properly. Also busy applying for jobs to get out of retail.

I for one would still like to see your pics. Love those underwater shots!

Gerry, one could argue that we should be organising the next meet rather than yakking here. :wink:

yeah I know, with the advent of mobile phones and web access everywhere, I spend too much time here imo.

speaking of meets, did you see the fing sunset this arvo? man alive, I am gonna bring my camera to work every day next week...absolutely devo when I looked out the window and saw that....

That's why I haven't got that app for forums. It would be too much. :wink:

biggerry wrote:did you see the fing sunset this arvo?

F#$%. I thought it was going to be a nice one. Infact I was explaining to a work colleague how the lack of low cloud will light those clouds up. Then at 1825is it didn't look too flash from where I was. My view was covered by apartments so I guess I have been missing quite a few. :evil:

I was down at Balmain wharf. The light was wonderful, and there was a rainbow over North Sydney. By the time I parked the car and grabbed the D7000 ... all gone.

by **Geoff M** on Sat Mar 26, 2011 11:45 am

Still lurking most days and therefore found guilty of not contributing as I should. I shall make an effort to rectify that which will be easier now as I have treated myself to an iPad. My PC is located in an 'isolated' studio and the better half gets a bit peeved if I am not sharing time with her and instead sat in front of the computer where she can't nag me"

Full time Work - own busines.
Full time work - establishing second business
Part time dad, trying to change now first business has settled and have employed someone, I can now get home at a reasonable time most nights.
Part time lurker in here (dont always log in), it's a great learning resource.
Hated my setup i.e. old 400D and lens's, found it vey limiting esp in low light.
Been taking photos but mostly family shots which again would bore ppl to tears.
Just lashed out (spending some ill gotten gain) and bought some new gear (see signature) and got the fire back in the belly (no shortage of room for the fire

).
Hopefully once I get my head around the new gear I will start risking it again and post some pics for C&C.

Trying to find a good lightroom course to do,from what I have seen it's an amazing piece of software and because of the above reasons I dont have time to teach myself with trial & error.

by **surenj** on Sat Mar 26, 2011 4:59 pm

Hey Bruce,
Just shoot some pictures and post em up. :cheers:

by **petermmc** on Sat Mar 26, 2011 9:32 pm

Hi all,

I am also still around and do much more looking than posting. I am still very much in the swing of photography but have not posted anything for a few years. I will make a concerted effort to rectify this situation. I have been studying while not working and find it difficult to do much more than just take photos. My doctorate is about time management and I often succumb to the busyness of life myself. I still feel a strong affiiation with this forum even though I don't know some of you as well as some of you know some of you...if you know what I mean. My twin teen agers have just turned 18 (boy&girl) and are both at uni this year. Neither have their licences so I also do a fair bit of taxi driving when I am at home...life is quite busy. They are both keen 'Nikon' photographers. I wish you all well.

Regards
Peter Mc

Busy lives I think, a sign of 'the times'.
Working two jobs, one of them shift work, a new girlfriend and trying to keep fit!
I lurk but haven't posted an image for yonks!

Sadly too much work and not enough photography.

And a HUGE backlog of photos to sort / keyword and process from Antarctica.

I don't get as much time to lurk or post on here either

+1 for me - currently I've been seconded to a special project for work that sees me in Sydney 3 times a week with consequent extra travel (only 1 night sleepover in Sydney). Long days leave little time for anything other than food and sleep.

I haven't taken a single photo in 2011 :cry:

by **PiroStitch** on Sat Apr 02, 2011 7:17 pm

Still here and taking photos, whilst travelling and working.

That extra travel must be a pain. I'm amazed and sad that you have not had the time to snap even a single frame this year

Please drive carefully on the F3. When you are on it too frequently, one can get complacent. Perhaps we can organise a meet of the sorts when you are around? Are you around on a Saturday?

by **stubbsy** on Thu Apr 07, 2011 12:13 am

Thanks for the comments. I'm in Sydney on Monday nights and drive home Tuesday night so Monday or Tuesday for a catchup are workable. As for the F3 - too many idiot drivers to find the time for complacency :wink:

by **Mal** on Fri Apr 15, 2011 3:38 pm

I have been lurking as a visitor on and off for about a year now.
Just discovered an app for the ipad to let me look at the forum more often so hopefully will be online a little more these days.
Been busy setting up a photography business on the side that is taking up a lot of my time. But keen to get back here and get some good criticism on some of the pictures I am taking.

by **devilla101** on Mon Apr 18, 2011 4:50 pm

I'm still here, lurking. Funnily enough I can't seem to log in from home anymore? Keeps coming up with Page not found message. I've shutdown my firewall and Anti virus but still no luck. Typing this message now at work on my break.

Anyway still working on my wedding photo biz and shooting for another studio and doing odd bit of photography now and then. I'll post some images if anyone care to comment
