Boston POTN Meet

[Harm]

Because of my larger-than-life personality, of course. :D

Ahhh people with big egos....naturally....you'll want a helicopter all to yourself then!!

[Scottes]

Personality man, not ego. I'm the humblest person you'll ever meet.




Was that too subtle? :D

[Harm]

:lol::lol::lol:

[flyfisher]

we could do oct 31st or nov 1st. I'll try to check in when I'm on the road but I'm not sure when I'll have internet access as alot of the hotels in the national parks do not have internet access

[polarbare]

The September Bostonist photo walk info just went up. 3rd Sunday of the month again, this time Sept 20 - 8am we'll be walking the North End. http://www.flickr.com/groups/bostonist/discuss/72157622285363922/

[Scottes]

Brad, do you have a public version of that link, or can you post the details here?

[polarbare]

hmm. That should come up for everyone. Are you getting an error or asked to sign in or anything cause you shouldn't be.

Details so you don't need the link:

This month's walk will take us to the beautiful North End. We'll meet at the corner of Hanover Street & Cross Street by Mother Anna's restaurant, and proceed along the Freedom Trail past such places as the Paul Revere House, the Paul Revere Mall, The Old North Church, Copp's Hill Burial Ground, the Boston Garden/Zakim Bridge, and finish at North Station. For those wishing to stay for lunch, options include Boston Beer Works on Canal Street, or in the North End.

This walk will start at 8am and last about 2-2.5 hours. Once again all are welcome and our walk is free (buy your own lunch of course).

If you'd like to come with us we'd love to hear from you here so we can get an idea of our group size.

~Brad

[kpratte]

Very nice.

[symbolphoto]

Fantastic! the high f-stop really makes the lights sparkle. 17-40?

edit: 17-40 has 7 blades.. 16?

[Scottes]

Very nice.

(Shot with a lens with 8 blades.)

[symbolphoto]

Very nice.

(Shot with a lens with 8 blades.)

Am i missing something here? It has been a wacky, but boring day for me..

[Scottes]

The image was shot with a lens that has 8 blades in the diaphragm. A 17-40 has 7 blades. Thus the image was not shot with a 17-40.

That's all.

I was under the impression that 6 stars meant 6 blades, no?

[Harm]

I thought it was 6 blades too....shot with a 17-85 kit lens

[Scottes]

Oops.

I can't count. 1 2 3 4 5 8 - right? :o

[Harm]

blame it on the Rum, scott ;)

[symbolphoto]

Hehe, hey we all make mistakes, even alcohol induced ones... no helo trip guys?

Harm, not bad for the kit lens. What was the shutter speed? 1-3 secs?

[Harm]

No exif data? Odd...

f/18
25s shot
24mm focal

25s?? That water must have been damned near stagnant.

[Harm]

Yeah, the only thing messing the water up was those duck tours going through :)

[symbolphoto]

I was just looking over on the Boston Flickr groups... lots of the same photos. We need to build some more interesting sites.. Boston is getting tired.

[Harm]

Lots of the same people on both forums? I know I am there, but haven't put up any photos in a while...If Boston is getting tired, what do you suggest? Putting up anything here?

When visiting the in-laws in Northern NY, we went mountain climbing...I should have a panoramic done from the photos I took, here is a nice view though:

http://harm.smugmug.com/photos/644323858_nHgdv-XL.jpg

[symbolphoto]

Sorry i didn't mean that offensively, nor toward your photo. I was just looking through flickr for the last 2 days and noticed nothing really new, I was surprised because i haven't been over there in like 1-2 years.

What i meant is that the city needs updating, not anyone's photos. Didn't mean anythign offensive at all.

Boston is small to begin with.

[Harm]

Ahhhh, gotcha...well when you have a high concentration of photographers in a city that isn't that big, you're bound to get virtually everything done...then it would be a case of details and shooting at angles, but essentially of the same thing...

[symbolphoto]

Exactly. Maybe i need a new city? hehe...

[Harm]

any city take your fancy?

[symbolphoto]

Let's see, I could easily live in Zurich. I think Portland Oregon is someone i could easily live. Living is affordable and there are/were a decent amount of jobs out there. How about yourself?

[Harm]

Well having moved here from the UK a couple of years ago, a change is always good...though I've been given an offer to move to Brisbane, Aus in Jan, depends on the wages they offer to whether I'd accept or not...I wouldn't mind it.

Geneva would be nice to live in...places I've been already? Loved living in Milan, and surprisingly, I really enjoyed Belfast and it's surrounding regions in Northern Ireland...I think I could survive in Paris, though it isn't right up there.

Yeah Brisbane is interesting... never been but there seems to be a lot of people there which is indicative of people at least tolerating the place. :)

Geneva is nice, but i get tired of the French-Swiss after a while and their utopian dreams. No offense to French folk. lol...

Belfast is awesome. I loved it there also... i could see living there. It's sort of like Boston, to me at least.

I like countries that are still developing too, for the chaos factor. Like India. There truly is no other country like it, it's total chaos there.. and i love it. Spending almost a month there at the end of the year. Aussie and NZ are on our map to visit soon.

Where in the UK did you live?

[Harm]

Seems you get about too....

Was born in Liverpool (hence the Avatar), then moved to Newcastle.

I know what you mean about India - my parents are indian, so I got to go around that country a lot, and as you say there is so much to see, and unlike Boston, everything is different and very colourful.

Never been to Aus / NZ, not yet anyhow!!

India, Yeah, i'm bringing all my gear. Here's to hoping i keep it all, haha...

NZ is very intriguing to me. Seems very nice, and somewhat expensive. Well if you end up in AUS, all us Boston POTN'ers will have a reason to go down south!

[Harm]

Yeah, you need to get away from the 6 months of cold, harsh winter!

[Scottes]

How about a little closer to home? I went up to Gloucester a couple weeks ago, but got driven out by the tourists. There's plenty to shoot up there. And it has possibilities of being interesting for a night shoot, too, at least around the wharves.

[polarbare]

Locally? Marblehead.. Anywhere? Galway, IRE

[symbolphoto]

Gloucester is nice as is Marblehead. Never thought about night shoots up that way. That's a possibility. Weddings have been nuts this year, our season doesn't officially end until December 19th and i'll be in India for almost a month in November, so I guess i won't be seeing you guys until the cold returns. Though with the climate change, who knows, maybe it'll be warmest then....

[Coppatop85]

Think I might hit up King Richard's Faire tomorrow.

[funhouse69]

Always a good time especially with the Tale of the Tiger :-)

[symbolphoto]

Ok that woman officially has more balls than i do. Check.

[Scottes]

I've petted that tiger. Do I have more balls than you?

LOL! It was on the other side of a chain-link fence. And that cat can PURR!!

My buddy Paul made those bracers in that photo above, my wife used to work for him at KRF, and they know Doc. We've been "behind the scenes" with the animals a couple times. My wife and I spent 20 minutes playing with a 10-week-old panther cub. 10 weeks old, 40 pounds. And then we went playing with a half-dozen 2-month-old tiger cubs. They were ADORABLE.

[symbolphoto]

Petting and biting the chin of are two different things. :)

[BillT113]

I will be there today, I hope the rain holds off.

[Kendoway]

You obviously have an auspicious POTN career ahead of you ;)

[Coppatop85]

11 posts and you already got a title? Sheesh!

[BillT113]

I know, I haven't even posted a picture yet.

[BillT113]

No time like the present I guess. Here is one from King Richards fair this morning. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39282167@N03/3918135509/sizes/l/

[funhouse69]

Ah the Ligar - That is seriously the biggest freaking cat I've ever seen!!!

[BillT113]

It is kind of scary, there is no way that guy could hold that thing if it decided it wanted to jump into the audience.

[funhouse69]

I agree 100% and always wondered that... While it is SO cool that you get the unobstructed view like that it could turn really bad really quickly. There is a reason that they are feeding them pretty much the whole time they are on stage :-)

[Harm]

hi guys....contemplated going to the faire yesterday, but couldn't be arsed with it...

[20DNewbie]

Yeah I was thinking of going yesterday for the cleavage competition but just wound up doing things around the house and what not.

[Harm]

not enough cleavage for you?

[20DNewbie]

Lol, is there ever enough. J/K

By the time I got done doing everything and the time it would take to get there I couldn't justify spending $26 for maybe an hour or so that was left in the day.

[Harm]

I am hearing you....last year we turned up, some people in front of us had spare tickets so gave us two for $10 (for both)....bargain....until we went in and they had run out of turkey legs....

[20DNewbie]

That's a sweet deal on the tickets!

I haven't had one of the turkey legs since I was a kid, but I tell ya that kettle corn has gotta be sprinkled with crack or something. I can't seem to ever get enough of it.

[Harm]

Hahahahaha, only ever had kettle corn once, that was up in salem some time ago....still though, it is nastily tasty!

[20DNewbie]

Just a few snapshots from Labor Day(finally gave the 135 a proper run through).

^ ^ I remember those two from last year...

[Coppatop85]

I went to the faire yesterday, I had a great time. Ended up hanging out with some workers of the faire. They gave me lots of free booze and took me around to meet people. I am way behind on my pics, (have a few concerts and portrait shoots to work on) so hopefully I'll get these up in a week or so.

[mikekelley]

I'd be in for a north shore meet. Tourists are starting to subside. Been real nice up the way of Ipswich, Plum Island, Newburyport lately.

Hmm, I've never been to any of those spots and I've still got a half dozen or so sick days to burn through. I may have to keep an eye on this one.

[Coppatop85]

I'm going to be out of work for like, 2 months or so. I live in southern MA (Foxboro) but I'm down for a north shore shoot -- especially plum island.

[mai_lin]

Anyone have any insight on Plum Cove? I have a commercial fashion shoot there on Friday and I've never been there before...


Jen D.

[Scottes]

Plum Cove in Rockport? I've got some panos from there... Let me see what I can whip together.

Never mind. I was thinking Pigeon Cove. Damn Ps screw me up all the time.

[woloi]

I'm living down in Newport, RI, but I tend to head up to Boston Friday evening through Saturday evening, depending on when/where people are meeting I'd be up for coming along and exploring some new places. If it's a really cool place I'd even be tempted to stay till Sunday, but it'd have to be really awesome to make up for missing my weekly ultimate frisbee fix :cool:.

[mikekelley]

If we are interested in like a mid october plum island/ipswich/newburyport shoot, that might be awesome.

I may be able to arrange a boat for it as well, at no cost. Would be cool to get into the marshes and whatnot, but it is quite easy to do without a boat as well.

[Harm]

Plum Island is a fantastic place...I have some photos from there somewhere on an external HD...

Still trying to organise up a Helicopter ride!!! Shout out if you're interested!

[funhouse69]

Jen are you talking about Plum Island? If so the place is very cool but not as scenic as Gooseberry. I had a lot of fun there!

http://www.plum-island.com/

[symbolphoto]

Ohhh a helicopter ride that flies over Plum Island, rattles the birds and you catch them in-flight at their level! Now you are talking. Now i just need a 500mm lens... The sad thing is, Stuart would totally go low enough to do that too. :) Oh the crazy ideas in my head.

[Scottes]

Anyone doing anything this weekend? I wouldn't mind doing a night shoot in Boston.

I'm also up for Gloucester, or Marblehead during the day.

[Harm]

I'll be in Rochester this weekend :(

Anyone fancy some night shots on Thurs night?

[polarbare]

Just a reminder that if anyone wants to come shoot DIII soccer this weekend I'll be shooting from 12-6pm on Saturday. PM me for details, games are in Weston on brand new turf fields.

Oh man, I would absolutely love to do a night shot in town, haven't been able to make it at all this summer (damned rain earlier in the season, too busy when the weather finally got nice). I am getting shoulder surgery friday, so I proabably wont be able to even lift my camera until november :-x

[Scottes]

IMHO, winter is the best time to do night shooting. No tourists, clear air for long shots... We've done near-zero shoots on the harbor.


Not for long, but we were there. :D

Well, when I am healed again, I will definitely be down for that! I actually did make it out to Pier's Park once this summer (might have been spring) but it was so incredibly windy I couldn't get a decent shot. Even with a heavy tripod the camera was shaking around like crazy.

[Harm]

I like Pier 4, near the USS Constitution...you do get a nice vantage point from there.

Isn't that the truth? I've been so cold i've left keys in cars and camera bodies on the ground. The cold gets to you sometimes :) Sadly, the winter is probably the only time when i'll be free.

[Kendoway]

Way back in the 80's I used to live in Chelsea (shhh... don't tell anyone), but I remember the views from Admiral's Hill being pretty good. Might be worth an expedition to scope out shooting spots.

Yeah we've shot very close to there before. It does have a nice vantage point of that side of the city.

ps- it's ok, i too lived in Chelsea for a short period of time.

Isn't that the truth? I've been so cold i've left keys in cars and camera bodies on the ground.

[symbolphoto]

Well if you guys want to get a chopper ride in, you best book now. I just got off the phone with him and he's teaching supermodel Giselle how to fly. Lucky bastard... might want to 'accidentally' schedule a flight 'just' after hers. ;)

[Harm]

I am trying!!!

Maybe he can get us up with Giselle!!

AHHHH!!! We were on page 2.. That needed to be rectified.
Anyone doing any interesting shoots this weekend?
I have room for volleyball shooters on Saturday in Weston if anyone is interested.

[mai_lin]

Hey guys :) Hope everyone is well.

I'm doing some engagement photos at Fenway during the game on Friday (ya for clients buying you a ticket!).

Does anyone know the 'rules' for camera equipment in Fenway?



Jen D.

[BillT113]

Does anyone know the 'rules' for camera equipment in Fenway?



Jen D.[/quote]




Cameras and video cameras are permitted inside Fenway Park, but cannot be used to reproduce the game and must not interfere with other fans' enjoyment of the game.

Their webpage is very vague. I think I read somewhere on the web you are ok if your lens is 7" or less so you could be ok with a 70-200 but probably not with a 400 2.8

[symbolphoto]

Yeah i've brought a 70-200 in there. I wouldn't go much further than that. You 'could' carry in a body with a small wide angle and put a longer lens in a purse or friends bag or something. Looks smaller when not mounted.

[mai_lin]

I think I'll just plan on one camera body and two lenses then...

Thanks! :)



Jen D.

[jcpoulin]

I went to fenway a couple weeks ago...i followed a guy out with a 400 2.8 attached to a monopod over his shoulder!!!! He was not a press guy.

[Harm]

Yup, all they ever do is a quick look in your bag at security, and they never check the camera or anything...never had an issue with Fenway

[New Hobby]

There is a rule about bag size. I was able to get a 70-200 2.8L in but that was at the limit of the bag size.

[Harm]

now if i can only be arsed to go back to Fenway...

[EiTheL]

Any events happening soon in or around boston?

[Harm]

There is a Lowell Photo contest going on....could be worthwhile to enter:

LINK (http://www.nps.gov/lowe/photosmultimedia/photocontest.htm)

Other than that, I am not sure of much else going on...STILL trying to muster up some people to do a helicopter photo ride, but just not getting anyone other than Scott, interested in going up!!! Slackers.

May leaf peep up in upper NH this weekend though....supposed to be sunny and warm on Sat at least :)

[polarbare]

A week from Sunday, the 18th, I'll be leading another photo walk. I believe we're looking at going to the Head of the Charles to photograph the races.

I don't know if all you folks know about this:

Welcome to the Massachusetts Abandoned Property Division web site.

It is estimated that one person in every ten has abandoned property. According to the Massachusetts Abandoned Property Laws, most financial assets that have been inactive for more than three years are declared “abandoned” and turned over to the Commonwealth.
Many citizens have questions about abandoned property, such as why do states have abandoned property laws and how do I file a claim for my property? With this web site we seek to answer many of your questions and reunite abandoned assets with its rightful owners.

This is a free service and there is no time limit for filing a claim. It is my priority to make returning abandoned property as easy as possible.

Sincerely,


Timothy P. Cahill
Treasurer and Receiver General

Massachusetts Abandoned Property
http://abpweb.tre.state.ma.us/


I have $380 coming, which goes towards a new lens, so this isn't off topic. :D

[Harm]

Define "Abandoned Property"?

Damn, i thought you guys were talking about a warehouse or something :(

[Scottes]

Define "Abandoned Property"?
:rolleyes: It's in the paragraph I quoted:
...financial assets that have been inactive for more than three years are declared “abandoned”...

So anyone in MA can claim it / or their financial value?

Great stuff Steve. I wish i lived like Willie Nelson! :)

We were out there earlier this year, i can't wait to see your 'processed' photos. You always turn out amazing stuff. I still feel like Steve is some famous photographer that hides behind a 'camera name'. A ghost Camera'er if you will. I just wish you'd post some of your best stuff sometimes. People would be amazed.

[Harm]

I never got out to the Wave last year....sucky city central....that is what happens when you're with your inlaws who are pretty slow!!

Maybe next time...

[flyfisher]

We have been to some amazing places on this trip when we went into the subway in zion it rained when we got there, it was the toughest 9 miles that I can recall, I slipped and fell 20 feet hurt my feet a little and had no photo's to show for the trouble. Thanks Brendon when we get home and go thru them we'll se what we got. we head into havasau on the 17th should be interesting.

Great shot Steve. Yeah, we are looking forward to at least 1 winter shoot. hehe...

Here's a couple of shots from by the Canyon....warm thoughts when it is cold outside right now...They didn't come out not too badly, considering it was a kit lens, but the colours are/were fantastic:

nice shots Harm we go over the dam at the end of next week. Brendon you could have been distracted by worse things.

[Harm]

Have fun, Steve, it is a fantastic place!

[Harm]

wake up people!

[woloi]

wake up people!

*hits the snooze button*

[Harm]

Wow, you literally did hit the snooze button....for 2 weeks!!

[funhouse69]

Wow your not kidding, apparently everyone slept through the snooze as well! I can't imagine what it will be like over the winter... Talk about hibernation :-)

Anyway I was away for a few weeks, here's a few pics from my trip.

Can you tell I like Big Cats :-)

Thank you very much... That is my personal favorite as well!

Where are some good spots in Boston and surrounding cities to view the sunrise/sunset?

^^ Yeah that

One of my favorite places to get a sunrise is Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester. There's lots going on - island just offshore, sand dunes, old house, wooden foot bridge... pretty place.

The Royal Navy couldn't silence the USS Constitution's guns. Nor could the Barbary pirates. But she never met an enemy as fearsome as the Charlestown yuppies. Lets see, who was there first, the ship - or the condos?

Might be good to go shoot that before they stop firing the cannons.

Couldn't agree more! Let's move into a place and change everything!! Next, they will want Logan Airport changed......

They won't stop firing it....I hope not...gave me a heart attack when I walked right by the ship after I first moved over here...but it is great...If people don't like it...move...

If you feel like a trip, Old Silver Beach in Falmouth MA is a west facing beach, so you can view the sunset over the water.

Check out this sunrise from my hotel room the other day...

I honestly don't know what the heck the light on the right is... Maybe a reflection from the TV in my room or a UFO - I was near area 51 :-)
