The Great Kiwi POTN Expedition (GKPE) - Part II

[Wazza]

That would be me:)

shame to hear about your 20d wazza

Yep it was you. I was going to PM you.. But didn't know what to say, when I can't take photos myself without a camera. :p

[Wazza]

Anyone remember me telling you all about the great www.vonnagy.com website?

Well, Mark, the admin/photographer, has made a little site for Kiwis sharing their pics

http://newzealandphotographer.com/index.php

Not trying to take people away from here, I've told him about this site too, and he takes fantastic pics around Port Waikato, and is a master at Photoshop.

Maybe we can have an extra couple of people on the next trip.

[dgcorner]

Count me in!

It's good to see another couple of kiwis join up.

You know you guys should ask Pekka for a little space of your own. a place where all topics are related to canon kiwi photography :)

Ah, sort of on the edge of civilisation still :)

You know that My3rdSkyline is a member, but he uses his real name, MichaelLuzqiuwiwieiwisiziziziewiqidz (funny american last name), he's another 20D user.
Toskin is looking at getting a 20D as well, so hopefully he'll join up, that will give our one other Wellington member someone to shoot with, and a friend of my better halfs has apprently just joined, he's in Papakura, altough I havn't seem on the forum yet. He's just got himself a 350D.


Going to have get a bigger van for the next GKPE :)

[forsaken]

A friend of mine purchased a 20d a few days after I did so will try and drag her on here to

[Moppie]

The more the merrier.

The next gathering is on the 7th of January, half a day shooting then a BBQ at Scotts place out this way (east).

yup saw that one and again on the news tonight. The cameraman was lucky to escape with his life

[Wazza]

Looking from the pic, looks like he was just up on a stand, and it got taken from beneath him.

They do this in many stunts, and probably wasn't as bad as it's made out to be.

If he was at grandlevel taking pics like I would be.. Now that's another story. :p

Thanks mate.

I could have done it myself, but as it's your image, felt I should leave the honours up to you. You've done a fine job. :D

If all members start walking around with their hats on.. I wonder how long before the whole forum starts asking those questions.. Where do I get my hat from ?

You could make a franchise.. Sell them $5 each.

[Moppie]

Every chicken needs thier claus.

[Wazza]

Nice one. LMAO

[3DsArcher]

Actually its a 300D & I would be keen on a meet up sometime

[Wazza]

To gain access to the elite club, please put on your Christmas hat. :p

Welcome to the club!

How are you finding the 300D? Its a huge step up from your Fuji :)

[3DsArcher]

The other camera is a Nikon. Both cameras have there pros & cons but I prefer the feel of the 300D which is actually why I didnt get the 350D. Just a matter of personal choice. Also I got a couple of lenses & a 1GB card to sweeten the deal.

[Moppie]

What sort of Noink have you got?

You had a little compact Fuji the last time I saw you?

[Wazza]

Moppie, did you see your pics in People?

And everyone, I just posted a few from the 12th November Hamilton drive... Took a while getting there, lol
