Which means that the forum's birthday is coming up, in just a few short weeks. So, keep Saturday August 4 aside, and we'll have a mini-meet at Chez Stark in Bondi. Probably starting from around 10; we can BBQ some snags or something if you like; coffee, cake, salsa and chips, and who knows what else. Please let me know within your response to this thread if you intend to come, so that we can arrange the appropriate catering and staff. g.

Re: It's that time of the yearI can tentatively comply..

You're bringing Dolly Parton over Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?
Re: It's that time of the yearGary... is parking likely to be a false hope in your neck'o'woods?
I have grandchildren bearing down on me on Saturday but hoping I can slip out for this while they are distracted by wiggles or some such. Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?

Re: It's that time of the yearWe don't need a beauty dish... just a good nine hours of post processing should sort things out.
For a start we are now pretty good at HDR and focus blending... and CS6 has a handy auto cut'n'replace tool now if all else fails !!! Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?
