Black panther hunt

[Matt. K]

Any D70 members in the Sydney area interested in travelling to the blue mountains some time in May for a black panther hunt/meet? We could do some research, check the maps, and then go sit in a valley and wait for awhile. Could drink some wine until the fog lifts, and talk each other up into a big cat frenzy and ...well, who knows? Might get a rabbit or two?
This is real boys stuff. Killa could wear his cams...Sheepie could wear his Lowepro webbing....and I might turn up in a yowie suit. Birdie could work his Wimberly side kick and 200-400VR. Everyone bring a platter and some Whiskas for the panther. We could all get drunk/lost, and have to be rescued by the Westpac helicopter...which Birdie could then commandeer and take us all for a joy ride over the mountains. Oh...I forgot...my camera is at Maxwells getting repaired. Shit!

Wicked, what's a yowie suit and why don't we have something called a yowie suit in Canada?--

Wait don't tell me, it's a full length, full sleeve spandex suit with a yellow lightning bolt down the center and red gumbooties and foam cowboy hat to match. Am I way off? Please tell me I'm on the right track.

/me wonders if we might be better off searching for a Tasmanian Tiger...

Hello, Dave.

For "Yowie" read "Bigfoot"

Then you'll have it nailed.

I didn't know that there was a PHOTO of Matt-K dressed like that. I'd heard rumours, but now know it is true. You forgot one thing - he has red undies on over the top of the spandex (and if I'm not mistaken, they are Y-fronts to boot!!!)


Oh no - I've only been here a little while and probably shouldn't have done that But after the arty farty comments from Matt, I don't feel so bad

Seems to me that with comments like that you'll fit right in.

Black panther? I'd be keen to search for the pink panther.

Black Panther, Pink Panther...are we getting into another Marcus/Mic gender bender thing here??

Black panther hunt??? Don't forget your VISA card.

I'll bring with my copy of Millennium (Season 1), Steve, and then we'll be right.

In May I'll be in the land of snails and frogs... and pink elephants!
Cheers,

For yowie suit, check my avatar. There have been many sightings of a mysterious, panther like creature in and around the Blue Mountains. I believe there is something in these sightings and a black panther D70 shoot would be a mini meet with a difference. Some internet research should allow us to narrow down the locality. If no panther eventuates then we could shoot landscapes and wildflowers.

Sounds like a perfect expedition for me. I'm good at taking badly out of focus pictures (OOF is required for Yowies,Bigfoots,Panthers,UFO's, etc)

A genuine photograph of the panther would reward you with enough cash to buy a DX2 and a bundle of new lenses.
