Hi Guys

We can't make it on Thursday due to a family visit, so hope you guys have a great time.

Enjoy the 100-400mm Tony and remember, expose to the right, squeeze that shutter release slowly as you breathe out and check the histogram!

Cheers

Dennis

Everyone should bring laptops too if they have them so we can all view our shots.

Blasted work is going to get in my way

. If we can organise a weekend meetup I will be there for sure

Judging by the amount of Brisbane Photographers we have here, I'm sure we could organize a semi-regular once a month/once a fortnight if demand is high enough IIS Photography day...

I'd probably be in for an early morning weekend outing now and then. I'll have to pass this Thursday - hope it goes well for all involved.

Cheers,
Stephen

No worries Stephen, we realise a mid week outing is not going to be as popular as the weekend, looks like there is a few interested so thats a good sign.

Ok then it's official we will meet at Mt-Cootha Botanical gardens car park at 10.00am Thursday 21st August 2008

I will be in my wifes Red Toyota Corolla.

Cant wait.

Did you get your 100-400L today Tony? I'll be interested to see it Thursday if you did... Judging by what I've seen they look a lot heavier than the 400 5.6 prime

davewaldo · #28 19-08-2008, 11:08 PM

looking forward to it

Alex the 100-400 is similar in size and weight to my 70-200 F2.8 the 400 prime are definetly lighter and more suited to cary for long period of times.

I will bring the 100-400 tomorrow.

Hi there guys,

I have only just seen this thread, and I have an appointment at St Lucia till about 10.30, but I shall try to come over after that, and see you somewhere around the gardens.

AlexN · #31 20-08-2008, 10:09 AM

I sent you my contact details via PM Mike... Call me if you cant find us when you arrive.

Alex.

Hi All,

I'm thinking of tagging along tomorrow at Mt Coot-tha if that's ok.

I've been there a lot with my boys, it's a great spot even if raining.

The more the better.

look out for anyone carrying Camera gear.

Striker (Tony) · #34 21-08-2008, 07:28 AM

I have had some Pm's over today's imaging day and just wanted to say I would have given you all my mobile number just for back up but due to being on holidays my mobile is being diverted to work so I am not contactable my mobile...believe me this is a good thing regarding answering work calls.

Anyway cant wait to do some imaging today and to meet a few more of you guy's & girls.....sounds like we have 5-6 of us now....thats great.

As for the members that have to work well better luck next time...lol but we will organise a weekend day as this will be more accessible for those who consider work more of a priority then an Imaging day.

Boy I love holidays.

RB (Andrew) · #35 21-08-2008, 08:08 AM

Don't forget a group shot guys !

Have fun.

Striker (Tony) · #36 21-08-2008, 08:17 AM

Will do Andrew and if not many turn up for what ever reason I will get a group of asian Tourists to fill their places so no matter what we will get you your group shot.

Overcast up here today with a shower forcast this afternoon....hopefully some sun can shine through.

Striker (Tony) · #37 21-08-2008, 03:13 PM
