Boston POTN Meet

[donlavange]

I was thinking about going on the 21st for the "Meet the Artist" night. No time to go for me this weekend.

I figured I would go that night as well, but I figure it will be crowded and I would "see" more tomorrow.

[donlavange]

I figured I would go that night as well, but I figure it will be crowded and I would "see" more tomorrow.

My stupido!! I hung around and went to Providence late. I had noticed that they had hours Sunday, however "failed" to see the Hours clearly posted on the website of 9 AM to 1 PM. Oh well maybe tomorrow!

I noticed a pretty nice looking restaurant diagonally across the street from the Show Location, Aspire, (no web site) but they don't open until 5PM for dinner, so I guess that's out for a combo trip with Pauline.

[Becca]

I have been thinking about going down on the 21st. I'll have to see whats going on that weekend, but I would love to see the exhibit. Maybe we could all meet up for dinner or something after.

Hey Becca. I am up for Dinner!

[Becca]

FYI, the 21st is actually a Thursday.

I don't know why I assumed that was a weekend! But it actually works out better if its a weekday as I'll be at work so an hour closer!

Hey Becca. I am up for Dinner!

Sounds good, Don! Let me see what that week looks like work-wise. I'll be out 2 days the week before but if I can get caught up, I'd love to take off early and head down.

[HoRnYTuRbO]

for the photo walk, im parking at the Barking Crab anyone wanna split cab ride to Haymarket?

[Coppatop85]

By the time I saw that photowalk, It was full! Perhaps I will catch the next one.

Yeha i saw that, there is a 7d thread in rumors section as well. Who knows...

[HoRnYTuRbO]

anything happening anytime soon???

[HoRnYTuRbO]

alot of bike riders here, what a good used bike in the $500-600 range? looking for a road bike

[bryanj87]

anything happening anytime soon???

A friend of my wife's is opening a gallery in Chinatown this Sunday. I'm not sure yet if I'll be going, but for some of you Boston folk, it could be interesting.

http://www.hudsonstreetgallery.com/

[bryanj87]

THIS is my plan for tomorrow! (Sunday) Anybody in? How about you guys and ladies close to PVD (within 50 miles, (LOL). This does not happen that often and represents some high level talent!

http://www.jakehegnauer.com/


Here is the location. Plenty of parking in that area on Sunday. Or park for $1 in the Mall and walk over, or park for free in the State House lot and walk a little further. . . . . or car pool with me!

So who's interested in checking out CDS's "Meet the Artist" night this Thursday, the 21st? Michelle and I will be heading over there after work and probably after we grab a bite to eat. Don? Becca? Bueller?

Also, I was thinking it's time we do another Providence Waterfire (http://www.waterfire.org/season-schedule/2008-schedule)/Sunset/night shoot. Maybe Saturday Sept 13, as they close of the streets by the Turks Head building (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turk%27s_Head_Building) for ballroom dancing (photo ops galore) that night. Weather permitting, of course!

Yes, this waterfire on the 13th is a full lighting. There are a few left this season, I thought that one would be interesting for photo ops because of the ballroom dancing in the streets.

[Becca]

What time are you guys planning on getting there? I just checked the directions and its a long drive (especially in rush hour traffic) from work.

Well, you might! :D What time is dinner? I can probably scoot out a little early from here (actually, that would be better so that I can beat the rush). Let me know when and where to meet you!

[flyfisher]

We would come down again for for waterfire last year was interesting. The 13th is a saturday night so we could meet early. Becca we live in your way if you want to car pool pm us.

[bryanj87]

My wife and I probably will be at the gallery around 7 or so. Not sure where we are eating, maybe Cuban Revolution or Finnegans Wake.

[bryanj87]

Looks like we're eating in tonight. I'm bringing my camera/tripod for some quick night shooting afterwards, probably down by the Hurricane Barrier and Iway bridge.

[Becca]

Great show, Jake! It was amazing seeing your photos printed and framed. Beautiful work. Brought back a lot of memories!

For anyone who wants another shot at Sunflowers, by Wednesday, the 27th, the farm in Coventry, RI will be at full bloom and should be great for a week or 10 days.

The location is :

Old Saw Mill Farm
2473 Victory Highway (Rt 102)
Coventry, RI

About 1 acre of Sunflowers and the farm is owned by Tim Gallagher, the Son of Cap'n Fred that sailed a group of us for the air show. So, if you go, tell Tim you know Fred and he will let you roam! Good chance to pick up some nice fresh vegetables at the Farm Stand!,

[symbolphoto]

Good stuff, can't wait to see photos from the Photowalk and the Waterfires... Natalie and I have been rather busy. Hope everyone is well!

I missed Saturday because of a bar prep course in the morning :(

I got about a cord for free from my old man. It's going for about $250 around here, which would have cut into my L glass fund. lol.

I'm going to be working in maine for a month, I'm thinking of heading up to Acadia on weekends, anyone been there? Furthermore, what time do the leaves start to change colors up that way?

[kpratte]

I'm going to be working in maine for a month, I'm thinking of heading up to Acadia on weekends, anyone been there? Furthermore, what time do the leaves start to change colors up that way?Mid to late October for "peak" but you'll see color before then. It's beautiful up there in the Summer, can only imagine the Fall.. The peak travel season for that area is over (It's July / August) so traffic should be reasonable.

Also check out Schoodic Peninsula (Winter Harbor) which is a little North of Mount Desert Island http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=44.355033,-68.112831&spn=0.153427,0.339203&z=12, it's beautiful and quiet all the time.

There are many carriage roads (smooth dirt) that you can bike on that are also very nice, so bring a bike.

And if you get up early enough, you can catch the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain which sees the sun before the rest of the US due to it's height above sea level.

[wingit]

Hello, I am new to POTN and i am delighted to find this post even thought i missed all the past meetings. I would love to join in on future meetings, any chance to meet up for foliage?

[HoRnYTuRbO]

Welcome Wingit...
i was thinking about the Arnold Arboretum in JP for the ppl that live in the Boston area sometime in October.

[wingit]

Thanks for the welcome, Vin. It sounds great, i have never been to Arnold Arboretum before.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in going to King Richard's Faire in Carver, MA one of these weekends? Looks like it might be fun. I may take myself down there on my own, but it would be fun to have others along if anybody is interested.

Here's some information on it: http://kingrichardsfaire.net/

[funhouse69]

I've been there pretty much every year that they have had it. I highly suggest checking it out. My favorite is Tale of the Tiger where they have a bunch of tigers to check out. There isn't many places you can get that close without a fence or cage.

I'd be interested in going but I work crazy hours so I wouldn't be the best point person.

Would you like to go earlier or later? Might be nice to wait until the trees have some color, but it only runs through Oct 19.

Anybody else interested?

[bryanj87]

Hey folks, I kind of dropped the ball on Waterfire this Saturday. As it turns out, the weather is looking iffy and I'm running a fever from a bad cold, so I'm most likely out. :(

King Richards Faire? Hmmm, my wife and I usually go, dressed in period garb. I don't know how I would disguise my 40d.

What we all should do is try to get together for a classic New England autumn color shootout. Maybe try to find an out of the way village in NH or VT with valleys overlooking the town, some old barns and cow pastures and lots of bold colors! I'm going camping at Mt Monadnock first weekend in Oct, so I can report back then on the colors. Last year the color was late as I recall.

Suggestions?

Although the colors might nicer on the weekend of the Oct 18,19th I'm mot sure about the weekend that they are closing. with the 12th out for us we could try for Oct 4,5 or the 11th.

[Becca]

Lets try for October 4 or 5, with the 11th as a rain date!

[flyfisher]

Both days sound good lets see which of these two days work for others.

Yeah i saw that. I don't know that i believe it as a true source. Rarely would someone come forward and say that the company is doing something bad... unless they don't want to keep their job. But what they are saying doesn't really seem unrealistic either.

I guess we'll see if they have anything else up their sleeve for photokina. Let's hope.

Of course there would be :). You guys are special, no? Contact me off line if interested.

Better yet, maybe I should see if I can't get a couple models and a stylist for an afternoon and do a Boston POTN get together and shoot. Would there be much interest for something like that?

[sfaust]

Let me see what I can do about getting a couple models together and doing a get together somewhere. I've got some locations that are available to me, but most are west of Boston along Rte 495. For the month of Oct, I also have a 2100sq ft open space with wood floors, white brick walls, exposed pipes, 16' ceiling, and a slew of huge 8' windows, heated, A/C, etc. I can also bring a bunch of lighting gear. Or we could shoot somewhere on location.

Eat before you get there or you'll be spending a lot more than expected, they use tickets for the food so unless your paying attention you've know idea how much you're getting hosed.

Make sure to catch the Liger show, the mud show can be pretty good also.

It is just one of those places that you really like or it holds no interest. We went once and didn't care for it.

Even after that, however, we used it as a bicycle destination and then just went to a nearby restaurant..

Don,

So true we were going just get out of the house.

[20DNewbie]

Steve, chances are I may still be going tomorrow(not that that's any special reason to go).

One word of warning though, the Kings a bit of a cheeky bugger. Last year he asked to fondle my 300, I still feel a bit dirty because I let him.:lol:

Yes, I guess. It's one of those purchases that you have to make and it adds no value, houses offer all these kinds of opportunities, roofs, siding etc. PS: This is camera related because I was kind of leaning toward spending half that amount on a 1Ds since the 5D Mark 2 does not impress me. I guess I will wait.

Went to King Richards today, took my 5D. Interesting place, good for people watching! It was my first time going. I posted these in the sports section, but will share these here as well. Great weather, kids had fun.

I ended up going on sunday as well. Haven't looked at my shots yet (went to a football party right after) but that joust looked great. Only had my 17-50 so I didn't get much reach for the joust. It was a good time overall though. The turkey legs there are amazing.

Nice shots! The jousting is one of the most entertaining parts of the KRF. The Bird of Prey show, with the hawks and falcons, is pretty cool as well.

I'm pretty sure I saw you JC -- Did you have the 24-105 f/4 L on your camera?

[jcpoulin]

Yes..traveling with wife, my 3 kids, friend and her 2 kids. Had the 70-200 for the jousting, otherwise had the 24-105.

Well, I will cut back. Send the $20 and I will hold myself back! LOL

Surprised no one else is going. I mean heck, it is the biggest show in the East! What is going on? I thought everyone is out of work?

I know Brendan will be there in stealth mode! Come on. Any self respecting Wedding outfit has to put in an appearance.

[bryanj87]

So, has anyone gotten any fall pics to share? I did manage to get a few in the past 2 weeks or so.

It's funny that you mention it, I just got back from Hunt's Photo in Melrose.

all the bags (Kata/Lowepro/Crumpler/Nat Geo) are 20% off their retail price.

I didn't check out any of the Body/lense (note to self: stay away at all cost), i've spent enough on lense with the MS cashback program.

So, after wandering around for 2 hours, my brother in law ended up with the Crumpler camera strap:D.

This is first time i go into a camera store and DID NOT buy anything, i am so proud of myself..:lol:

nice, i just tried calling them for 20 mins and no luck. any one know if they carry Vivitar 285 flashes?

[donlavange]

Yeah, Vin. It was a feast for the emotions an an attack on your wallet. I upgraded some of my software and low prices and saw the printer demos I wanted to see. I get the feeling a new Epson 17" is coming. If not soon, I think I will pick up the Canon 5100.

Anybody here have any thoughts on this subject?

Anybody here have any thoughts on this subject?I've never had good luck with the Epson printers.. I love the fact that they have a ton of papers for them, but ones I've owned if you didn't use them all the time, the heads would gum up and have problems printing. Maybe they are better now, don't know.

On the other hand I've had good luck with the Canon printers.. I've got a S9000, and it's still going strong after 5 years or something. I use it occasionally as I have a HP All-in-One for daily printing. When I do use the Canon, it does a clean cycle and whamo, awesome prints. :)

So I headed out to last nights MMA match in Plymouth and was wondering if the guy at the mat was one of us. Just figured I'd go say hey if he was as this is the second fight I've been to and seen him both times. Always wanting to meet some of the other members but it never seems to work out.

Don,

I've had the epson R2400 for about 5 years now never had any trouble with it although
I make sure to print something every couple of weeks the prints that I made when I first got it look like I just printed them. The Ink can get expensive as it seems to go thru light mangenta mor then the other colors. The new R3800 looks like a nice printer and I think it goes 17" wide.

Thanks Steve! The 2400 is a great printer but, as you say the ink is on the high side because of the ink cartridge capacities. I have it and I want a larger format. The 3800 is 95% of the way to the goal, but it only takes sheet stock.

I keep thinking a new 17" with a paper roll and all the blacks installed all the time is close at hand. At least I hope it is. Beyond that, the Canon 5100 will be my next printer.

I am off to Utah next week for a few weeks. After we get back, I will be heading down to Conawingo Dam in MD to chase Eagle images.

Hey Bryan! How is is going. We will have to get together when we get back. Interested in a trip to Conawinga in MD?

[bryanj87]

Yeah Don, we need to. It's crazy we live so close.... Maybe dinner with the wives when you get back? Bella Pasta?

I'll have to pass on the trip to MD, I just booked the last of my vaca time for a trip to Southern Cali for Christmas. Hoping to get some better pics at Joshua Tree. last time all I had was a crappy P&S.
