Boston POTN Meet

[bluej511]

nice quality Arthur shooting RAW or JPEG?

[arthurgoh]

i shot raw, then bumped the sat during jpg conversion and curves + usm in CS2

[damansidhu]

Ah, so i didnt miss much afterall though the chit chat over lunch must have been great. Nothing like sitting and discussing photography over a nice cup of coffee :)

We should meet up sooner the next time, one learns so much from meeting each other. Maybe meet up one September weekend and plan a night shoot.

[bluej511]

i was thinking that id love to get a sunset in gloucester then head down to boston on a busy night for some night people photography of newburry st or something

As long as you're not hoping to get a sunset over the ocean horizon in gloucester ;-)

Seriously though, it was great meeting up with everyone! Cari and I had a blast - We definitely must do it again sooner than later. Sorry Cari and I had to run after lunch since we both had out of town trips to prep for the following morning... And speaking of trips, I'm still on mine here in Chicago and won't be back home until late Sunday. I didn't even have a chance to review the photos I shot before leaving for Chicago...so I apologize for not posting anything. It will have to wait until I get back home and re-gain access to my gear, as well as some spare time to review/post :-)

PS: Speaking of spare time, I promise I'll find some to update my signature one of these days Daman ;-)

[bluej511]

hahaha Hiro-san enjoy your trip man thanks for letting me try out that lens, i think i caught L disease and will be saving up for the 70-200 f/4L with a new tripod and maybe a monopod to

[damansidhu]

Ah, I'll look forward to that day my friend ;) Enjoy your trip in Chicago and once you are back post up your pictures quickly in the POTN thread which Vick created.

[arthurgoh]

From East Boston Park a couple evenings ago:

[damansidhu]

Arthur, i can get together sometime in September mid-end. Im off to california this month end for a vacation and wont be back till the 9th Sept. Any week following that should be ok with me for the night shoot.

Vic- congrats on the cp my friend :) post up some blue skies. Also keep in mind its not just for the skies, you can remove reflections from water/glass(windshields etc) from it as well.

[bluej511]

[DJS]

I'm new to this forum but I'd love to meet up with the group (if it's open) for some night shots of Boston.

[arthurgoh]

I'm new to this forum but I'd love to meet up with the group (if it's open) for some night shots of Boston.

Welcome to the forum! The group is a real friendly bunch so the more the merrier. Check back time to time and see when the next gathering is.

Where do you live?

[DJS]

Hello and thank you for the welcome. I live in Arlington, so anything you folks do in the area would be great. I'll keep checking in.

[arthurgoh]

[symbolphoto]

Bump! Night shots, next weekend ;)

Btw guys, don't know if any of you are interested in Airshow pics, but i'll be heading out to Nevada, Nellis AFB, with media credentials on November 10-12th.. If anyone is interested, drop me a line.

Here is the one i just shot in VA,

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=212835

PM me if interested. Otherwise let's coordinate something soon for night/city shots.

-B

[bluej511]

im up for night shots,next weekend sounds good to me could do it friday or sat night

[flyfisher]

I could do sat, friday is to hard to get home from work an all.

[symbolphoto]

Ok saturday night sounds good so far.

[flyfisher]

If there's an interest where and what time should we meet, I not all that familiar with the city and locations so where ever is ok with me.

[bluej511]

im thinking we should meet outside the city then take the T in possibly?

[bluej511]

So is this official now?

[symbolphoto]

Sure, i hope there is more than 2 people though.

We can meet somewhere with plenty of parking and take 1 or 2 cars from there. If i were to suggest a place to park it'd be around the new convention center. Since you won't want to be taking the "T" with all your camera gear, here is a nice easy location with loads of parking at night. And is central to all highways leading to boston.

Address is 415 Summer Street, Boston MA 02210. You can park just about anywhere near this location. You can't miss it, it's a huge, HUGE white overhang, usually well lit at night.

Meet at this location at about 8:30pm.

[bluej511]

our Gloucester meet only had oh idk maybe 5-6 people lol so im sure 3-5 will be fine

[symbolphoto]

Cool, Hornyturbo and possibly Mr. Blonde will be joining us as well, and don't forget your tripods.

[mysubaruimp]

Date: Saturday the 23rd

Time: 8:30pm

Place: 415 Summer Street, Boston MA 02210

I can probably make it, but I wont know until last minute.

[bluej511]

i say 8 instead of 8:30, i should be able to make it with my crappy tripod lol unless i fall apart and buy my manfrotto right now lol

[damansidhu]

Ill try to make it if i can fit it in my schedule, wont be able to say for sure till the last minute, but ill try :)

[HoRnYTuRbO]

B, can u bring my jacket too =)

[flyfisher]

Count me in 415 Summer street Boston at 8 or 8:30 on sat night

[symbolphoto]

haha, yeah good tripods certainly needed. It's looking like it might rain, may have to push it out. Mr. Blonde and Horny are in. So that's about 5.

[bluej511]

everyone keeps saying its gonna rain but i just dont see it lol

[symbolphoto]

Hell yeah, i'll be going either way, assuming it's not pouring.

[symbolphoto]

Yeah 30% chance of rain, i doubt it'll rain. We have the added benefit of the clouds, when you do long night exposures the clouds move and have a really cool effect...

Such as in this pic;

http://www.brendanstewart.net/church/churchview5.jpg

[bluej511]

wow where did u shoot that from? idk if ill be able to make it, i gotta wake up bright and early sat and go pick up a boat

[yoyoboy]

I'l come if I can get a ride with Hornyturbo

[symbolphoto]

wow where did u shoot that from? idk if ill be able to make it, i gotta wake up bright and early sat and go pick up a boat

Where i shot that from is up for debate. hehe.

You better make it! You were the first one in. We have another guy in, not here on the forums, so that's up to 4 not even in this thread. I hope to see you all there.

[flyfisher]

Ok it stil looks like a go for sat night. I'll check again tomrrow night to see if there are any changes and to confirm the time.

[HoRnYTuRbO]

I'l come if I can get a ride with Hornyturbo

not sure what direction i'll be coming from but if im home i give yu a ride or u can take the train.. bring some of ur lighted yoyos

[mysubaruimp]

Im out for Sat. Had to leave for Cali at 3am this morning.

[symbolphoto]

Ok we have at least 5, if you plan to attend try to be on time. ;)

[yoyoboy]

I'l be there, just got my 70-200 :)
BTW, whats the nearist T stop?

[blonde]

i am in for sure. B, i will stop by around 5 so we can try to do the sensor cleaning :)

[blonde]

btw, i will have the Ford expolder tommorow to we can fit 7 in my car if needed...

[symbolphoto]

I'l be there, just got my 70-200 :)
BTW, whats the nearist T stop?

It's about a 5 minute walk from south station. I'm assuming you'd be coming in on the "C" train though, if that is the case for any greenline train, you "COULD" walk from Park street. About a 15 minute walk. Otherwise switch to the red and just get off at South Station.

Once you get out of South Station walk away from downtown and towards the water on summer st. Worse comes to worse we can find you down at South Station.

[Bob F]

I am in Boston on Oct 11th through 13th and would like to maximize my shooting time and hit the best of Boston. Any tips on where to go to shoot to get the real flavor of the City???

[flyfisher]

I'm in for sure also is there available parking near by?

[symbolphoto]

Plenty.

I may be able to put some good points on a google earth map. Let me check it out and get back to you.

[symbolphoto]

Ok i've pinpointed a bunch of places, but you have to have google earth downloaded to check them out. You can get google earth here;

http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

I highly suggest other people try this out as well, as it makes it extremely easy for people to find locations etc... best tool ever! :)

Here is my map, once you have google earth installed it'll show you the locations.
http://www.brendanstewart.net/bostonphotography.kmz

[symbolphoto]

ok i just went out, everything is good, the sun is almost out and it's dry. Seems as though it won't rain until after midnight :)

[flyfisher]

I'll be heading down in about an hour the suns out here also see you guys there.

[symbolphoto]

See you in front of the convention center. 8:30.

[HoRnYTuRbO]

ahh, its was a nice meet.. good stuff

[symbolphoto]

Twas good, next time we'll have to start earlier and stay later. Stupid UFC fans had to take off early :angry:

I didn't really take any pics of the subjects, i have plenty, i took pics of the people mostly;

[HoRnYTuRbO]

Edit... We need to do this again.. how about salem MA for Halloween ???

[yoyoboy]

A few from last night: Any and all CC welcome. Still havn't done any PP(waiting till I reinstall windows and get ps to do it.) feel free to do any fixes if image editing ok isnt showing up.

[symbolphoto]

Yeah we certainly need to do this again. I'm working on some new sites... i'll update in about a week. Good job guys! Was worth it, even though it was cut-off. I guess next time we'll have to start at around 7 and go til whenever. We'll break off into subgroups; one group whom wants to leave by a certain time(s) and the other group who's up for staying out all night and possibly grabbing food. :)

[blonde]

sounds good to me :) (sorry guys, i love UFC and had top watch this fight...)

[bluej511]

sorry i couldnt make it guys pics look awesome though.

[jacobsen1]

http://images.nasioc.com/forums/images/smilies/furious.gifhttp://images.nasioc.com/ubb-files/smilies/mad.gif My wife forgot to tell me about a dinner with her co-workers we had to go to... I was about to head out the door (of course I didn't tell her about this either :rolleyes:) when she asked where the hell I was going...

Pissed... Hopefully I can get my act together before the next one and I can go... The "honey do" list at home is quite long though, and I need to just get it all done so I can have the rest of the fall/winter to myself.

Sorry I missed it guys.

[HoRnYTuRbO]

anybody else wanna share their pics?

[flyfisher]

7th thru the We would definitely be up for that. Salem also sounds interesting , we'll be away from October 15th. hopefully something will come together after that week.

[symbolphoto]

Sure i can do the 7th. Blonde, horny, yoyo you guys in? Anyone else?

[bluej511]

i can do the 7th it will be my birthday weekend but wtv, ive got court on the 12th so i sure as hell gonna enjoy it before judgment day (traffic violation, criminal) stupid cops

[symbolphoto]

Sweet, i'm sure horny, blonde, and satan are in. Weird naming when you bunch them together.. heh. So i think this time we'll try to hit all the spots by starting early. And break off into two groups in case some need to leave. Last time we hit only two locations but i've got about ten. So hopefully yeah... this'll work out.

[flyfisher]

sorry I didn't proof read I'll be gone from the 7th thru the 15th any other time would be able to do.

[symbolphoto]

Woops, haha. Ok maybe the 22nd then.

[HoRnYTuRbO]

Im down for what ever date/time you guys choose

[yoyoboy]

As long as i dont have an obscine amount of homework, i'm down for pretty much any weekend, sat. works better

[flyfisher]

The 22 sounds muth better

[HoRnYTuRbO]

time??

[symbolphoto]

Dunno, let's make it 7pm this time if possibly. Same location to meet.

[flyfisher]

Sounds Good to me the same place 7 pm on the 22nd.

[bluej511]

i might be in depending on how the Magistrate meeting turns out on the 12th. I might also invited a friend of mine who shoots with an olympus P&S but if you guys wanna check his gallery here you go.Hopefully if i dont have to pay much in fines ill have my new manfrottos tripod to. http://www.masscops.com/forums/memberphotos/showgallery.php?ppuser=276&cat=500

[bluej511]

Anyone interested in a day shoot maybe once fall colors start settling in?

[Scottes]

I'd be interested in another night shoot, now that I have time.

For interest, I've made my Google Earth Boston locations available: http://www.itsanadventure.com/postimages/Boston.kmz

I *highly* recommend Pier 4 for a great view of the Zakim Bridge, and for Boston skyline shots try Piers Park, LoPresti park, and - my favorite - the Hyatt Hotel on the airport. Great shots.

[holland_patrick]

sunday the 22 looks good to me..

anyone have an extra tripod?

i have a head i can use

[symbolphoto]

21st, 7pm. In front of the new convention center. Like last time.

[flyfisher]

The 21st is also good for me 7pm same place as last time.

[jvanick]

Are you guys interested in another straggler?

I'm going to be there over the weekend of the 21st and 22nd (work is too cheap to fly me home to chicago for the weekend).

I've been looking for something to do while I'm out there, and a photo excursion would be awesome.

If you're up for it, I'll need good directions to the meeting spot :)

-J

[bluej511]

I need good directions from Worcester to lol

[Scottes]

J & Blue: It took me a bit to find this...

Sure, i hope there is more than 2 people though.

Meet at this location at about 8:30pm.
Though the new time is 7:00, I understand

[Scottes]

Do we have any ideas for a plan of locations? My favorites are the Hyatt at the airport (Skyline) and Pier 4 by the Constitution (Zakim) - but both take some time in a car. I also have a hankering for checking out the Stata Center over off memorial Drive - has anyone seen this at night? Is it worthwhile?

I'm up for just about anything though. Got an itch to take some night shots.

[symbolphoto]

Just over a week to go! I know Blonde got his 24-70L ;)

Locations... well you and i seem to share a lot of locations ;), but i have a few different ones we didn't get to hit last time. So those will be good ones to hit. Never heard of the Stata Center... i'm sure i pass it all the time though. If anyone has suggestions we can do that as well.

[Scottes]

The Stata Center is a pretty funky looking building that could look fairly intense at night, when all the lines can't be seen:
http://www.csail.mit.edu/events/news/stata.html
Not a very big picture... http://web.mit.edu/evolving/images/stata_thumb.jpg
Some of the other MIT buildings have potential, too, like the Domed one and such. Just an idea.

[symbolphoto]

Ohhh yeah, that's over by Avery street, yup. That could be a cool place... i wonder how it's lit at night? Hmmm. I guess we'll have to investigate. :)

[blonde]

alright, the 21st is good to go for me and i have my entire kit ready :)

[Scottes]

i wonder how it's lit at night? Hmmm.
That second, tiny picture I posted is actually a night shot. But with the size of the building and all those angles I'm sure there's a lot that could get done with that subject.

[blonde]

sounds good Scotts. so, looks like we have enough spots to cover that night.

just an update: i got home from school and the lens was waiting for me. it is a beauty but it sure is heavy ;)

[symbolphoto]

Nice, well not certain yet, of course it's never certain in Boston, but the weather so far looks ok. Can we start building a list of people that will attend?

Location;

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&cat=&address=415+summer+street&city=boston&state=ma&zipcode=

Date: October 21st.
Time: 7pm.

So far we have,

1. Mumbles
2. Blonde
3. Scottes
4. jvanick
5. Bluej511
6. flyfisher
7. Yoyo
8. Hornyturbo
9. Jeepster ?

[Scottes]

I'm in.

At the same time, can we build a list of places that people would prefer to hit, then perhaps we can build a route to hit them without driving back and forth around the city?

I'm pretty much open for anything. I have a hankering for Pier 4 over by the Constitution to get a shot of the Zakim, but I'm not going to push for it since it's out of the way.


Also, how did you guys do this last time? On foot? Car? Subway?

[blonde]

last time we did it by cars but we only managed to hit 2-3 spots because of me (i had to leave). i do think that it was a good idea to meet up some place and than take 2-3 cars and go to the spots. however, this time we should have at least 2 cars from people that can stay as long as they want..

as for the spots, i am going to trust you and mumbles and let you work it out..

[bluej511]

if anyone knows where the Boston DPW parking garage is let me know cuz you get an unbelievable view of boston from the top of the garage.

[symbolphoto]

Well we don't have a predefined list of locations, we generally start at the convention center because there is a nice view of the city and ships there, and we work our way outward from there. I can compile a list, but we generally have 2-3 cars and follow each other to the places, so it's pretty simple.

[jeepster]

Mumbles pointed me to this thread. If I'm back in time (or awake enough) coming back from NHIS, I hope to make it. :)

I got my XTi last week and have been playing a bit with it and would like to see what other lenses do before actually dropping the coin on some of them.

So, I'm a tentative for now.

--kC

[bluej511]

cool, i ordered from BH last thursday while they were closed and its monday 1:30 and hasnt shipped yet which kinda sucks so hopefully when i get home it might have shipped by then. Without it no night shots for me lol

[Scottes]

if anyone knows where the Boston DPW parking garage is let me know cuz you get an unbelievable view of boston from the top of the garage.
I like this idea, and we should keep our eyes open for strategically-placed garages. There's on near Durgin Park that shuld provide some nice views - a red brick one that was extremely visible from the old Rt 93 southbound. That should have views towards the water and some views over Faneuil Hall Marketplace towards downtown.

[symbolphoto]

There is no particular lens better suited to night than others... you can use the dam kit lens. Long exposure and a good tripod is about all you need.

[bluej511]

thats what im waiting for but i dont wanna give it away till i post pics of it lol.

[blonde]

Mumbles pointed me to this thread. If I'm back in time (or awake enough) coming back from NHIS, I hope to make it. :)

try to make it KC. you will have a very wide range of lenses to try between all of us :)

[Scottes]

try to make it KC. you will have a very wide range of lenses to try between all of us :)
I'm only bringing 4 lenses. Maybe 5.
:-)
17-40 in case I need to go wide.
50mm f/1.2 in case I need to go wide open.
28-70 for most of it.
85mm because I love this lens.
28-135 or 100-400 in case I need to go past 85mm. Maybe. I really need to get a good, fast, wide prime over 100mm.

[bluej511]

Im brining kit lens and 70-200.

My key pieces to night shooting should be here this week hopefully.

[yoyoboy]

I'l be there. I'l bring some bawls if anyone wants to stay up and get a sunrise.

[bluej511]

Alright alright so where we meeting up so i can have a buddy of mine come with us?

Oh and btw i see the map but what exit do i get off on the pike? Sorry i just moved here 2yrs ago and dont visit boston much cuz i hate finding parking lol

[blonde]

[quote=Scottes;2128118]
50mm f/1.2 in case I need to go wide open.
[quote]

i hope that this is not a typo :)

and i will have almost identical setup as you :)

[Scottes]

That lens seems to focus decently in low light.

:-)

[jvanick]

I can certainly drive one of the cars... I've got a company paid for rental with company paid for gas... :)

I'm up for staying out as late as anybody wants to... I have nothing going on on sunday (other than sleep)

Also... on a side note... if anybody is wanting to stay out late, I can always pick you up on the way... I'm in the Billerica area.

-J

[symbolphoto]

Ok, well everything is looking good. If you are coming in on the Pike you'd want to get off at South Station, and then take a right on summer street. Mapquest link was provided, so you may want to use that.

Anyhow, weather appears to be ok. We have many sites to hit, and if anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them.

So far we have;

1. Falcon peir and the waterfront area. (Courthouse and another undisclosed location ;))
2. Downtown area with parts of the North End.
3. Cambridge, along storrow/mem and MIT.
4. South East Expressway, over by Mass Ave, great garage shots.
5. Over by the Zakim bridge of course.
6. Will scope a couple of areas downtown before saturday to add to the list.

Some of these will be repeats for the last crew, but it'll give you a second chance at perfecting that shot you may have missed last time.

[bluej511]

South Station, and then take a right on summer street @ 7PM? Are we meeting up at the peir or whats up? Ill be in a blue rsx btw phone number is 508-868-6121

[zacker]

you guys should come over and check out the www.northeastfoto.com site... we're looking ofr hot spots for shots in the northeast and can use more input, plus, we do member shoots all the time, the next one I believe is in Branford CT. at the trolley museam on Nov.14th ( if I remember right) come on by and check it out. there are a few of us POTN'ers there.

[bluej511]

november is a little to cold for me and my camera lol plus i dont really like museums for photography to had to shoot sometimes

Nahhh, Its in the daytime and its not really a museam, its the Trolly Museam and they are doing some kind of thing with some older NYC cars they are bringing down for the day.. plus there are tons of other spots around the CT shoreline. we'll see how it goes though as I havent been there in forever and cant remember enough about it to be honest!

bluej, i think i know where the DPW garage is, that's also the BPD garage if i'm not mistaken. One of our sites is directly across from it, i don't think their garage is all that high. But i may be thinking about the wrong location.

The location we are meeting is 415 Summer street, it's a huge convention center with a huge, white, lit overhang. There is plenty of parking along that stretch of Summer Street.

[bluej511]

i went all the way on top i think its either 4th or 5th floor so its a little bit of height we could always stop by for like 10min and if theres nothing interesting screw it lol

So i get off the exit and make a right and were meeting at the pier is that right?

You aren't reading my posts. :evil:

415 summer street.

Convention Center... huge,.... white,.... overhang.....

You take a right at south station onto summer street. That will bring you to the convention center. There is plenty of parking there.

[Scottes]

Is there any parking near the meeting spot mumbles?

[symbolphoto]

Dam you!!! Dam you all!

[jeepster]

How do I get to the meeting spot? Will there be parking? Do I have to Park.. and THEN go to the meeting spot?

[yoyoboy]

see all you bitches at the convention center at 7PM. Can we shoot at that building that we stoped at last time, but some ppl. didnt want to climb up?

[flyfisher]

I think that we are meeting at the huge white overhang. when your on summer street
it's pretty easy to find it's not that far from south station. it should be on your right .

[bluej511]

Is anybody interested in a remote shutter release, RS-80N3? I just got a TC-80N3, so I have no real need for the RS. $25 and it's yours, and I can bring it Saturday.

[Cathpah]

certainly not trying to hijack this post, but I'll be in boston (waltham to be exact) november 17-22 to be with my mother who will be getting hip surgery done. Is anyone out there in the boston area willing to show me a couple good spots? I'm interested in everything and would just love to see (or get reccomendations for) some of the hot spots of photography in boston. not necessarily looking for all the cliche postcard shots, but would love insight into what you guys shoot...That way it'd be nicer and more enjoyable for me when I come home--I'd actually have an idea of where to shoot.

if you are interested in being my photo safari tour guide :p or just a buddy to go shoot with in november, do let me know. A PM or email would be great, although you could certainly reply in this thread.

To those of you who are meeting this saturday, have fun! If you guys feel like rescheduling, and want to meet up again in about a month, I'll be in town...so lemme know! thanks.

[bluej511]

nov 17-22 im sure we can schedule something for then but dam its gonna be freezing lol

[Scottes]

certainly not trying to hijack this post, but I'll be in boston...

Mumbles and I put together a couple of Google Earth files containing shooting locations in Boston.

[jeepster]

Do any of you pack an LED flashlight? If you have one, could you bring it? (LED with white light)

I generally pack a tiny one, and I'll be bringing one of those headsets with 1, 3 or 7 LEDs...
