[HelenThura]

i'm up for both nights - that way we can go different places both nights.

[-spam-]

If i were to go both nights, shooting from the riverfront at south bank would be alright. As the sun is setting like in this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/xenedis/459594598/in/set-72157600025672008/) photo.


Also, an update on the fireworks thing at the fete at Jindalee Primary. The fireworks are set for 7:00-7:15pm and entry to the fete is free. My mum reckons that they probably wont be all that spectacular as the school has spent a heck of a lot of money elsewhere this year.

[Nick C.]

Both nights, hey? I'm going to be absolutely buggered, I am.

If i were to go both nights, shooting from the riverfront at south bank would be alright. As the sun is setting like in this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/xenedis/459594598/in/set-72157600025672008/) photo.
I agree. I'd like to shoot some from the Southbank area.

sounds like a good idea to me - that is what I was thinking too. Then you can wander over the victoria bridge to get traffic shots.

Yeah but they are still fireworks!!!

Geez you lot, I'm out of the place for 2 days and have what seems like 1,000,000 posts to catch up on.
Mmmmm, Monday or Tuesday is feasible but not both - I'd have a riot to quell if I did both.

Well, I believe the rotunda at the top of the cliffs was good for Tuesday.
I haven't been to Southbank for ages so I can't help there.

Sunset is at 5:40.

Id probably say that southbank would be better for sunset. You would get the golden light hitting the side of the buildings facing you rather than just getting shadows from Roo point

True...

wish i could come both nights, i have a stupid job expo on monday.

[HelenThura]

Hi Feng, if you wanted to be really good you would link those names to the profiles so it is easy to pm mobiles etc.

[Primm]

Just rang work - I don't finish holidays until...WEDNESDAY night!

So I'm good for both nights, :D and can't wait to meet you all.

Cheers!

Here's where that photo Sam linked to was taken from:

I reckon if we just gather in front of the pool there we should have no problem spotting each other.

15.6mm to be exact. Still plenty wide enough for me

Remember the thread i linked to last night about the guy going from a XT to a noink D1? well i just caught up on what happened to it over night. The guy is an idiot, i swear.

here is the thread again if you are interested

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3429200

BTW, the mod on there called "Rockit" shoots motorsport for a living, so his points are usually worth listening to.

Funny thing is that he never mentioned what lens he had on the XT. Probably comparing the AF speed of some crappy lens with some wizzy one :D hahaha

I mean... I noticed the diff from the 17-40 vs the 17-85 in terms of focus speed. *sigh*... note he mentioned AF Speed not AF Accuracy.

[Kelsey-Lee]

How about meet up at 5:20pm? Or maybe 5:00pm?

Or.....

I'll probably get there early (I'll catch the train in) so I'll get there around 5:00pm or something, so how about from then?

[asxu]

what's the street address for the 'roo point car park? i've never been there before.

[Ospi]

ditto, though im assuming somewhere near those human cutouts doing the tricks next to the river?

[Primm]

River Terrace, Kangaroo Point. There's a car park that goes all the way along the top of the cliffs. Which way are you coming from?

[asxu]

out carindale way..

Isn't that down the bottom? It's the top of where they rock climb on the road above.

Yeah, but it's probably there in reference to the hype and anticipation leading up to the new 40D. I'm pretty sure I saw that image (or something very similar) linked to on a forum somewhere a while back.

P.S. Were you talking about the underground carpark at Southbank, Helen? Do you know what they charge?

if you're north as I have to take David home (though nick could probably take him)... or westish cos I gotta take Sam home... other than that, I live south ;)

Nick, that's fantastic work there on that logo, but the sign needs changing. Take out the word "compromise".

I was wavering a bit there....<thinks: Hmmmm...get 1d MkIII now or wait for the 5D MkII.> I don't want to compromise...I'll wait...sorry. But I might change my mind if you come up with a different slogan:D;)

Rob you need to go digital.

Woolies need to give Rob shifts or some other company needs to employ me. :confused:

One of those and a EF film camera

The Canon EOS 300V is still available from the friendly folk at Photo Continental.

I miss the cherry coke. That stuff was good

Try Chocolate Boulevard in the Myer Centre, or if you want it cold, try the confectionary place above Anzac Square that is accessible from the Central Station tunnel under Ann St.

AAAAHAHHAHAHA nice nice :D i would LOVE one of those XTis :P

I had thought about importing one myself from Adorama but then I wouldn't be able to take advantage of PC's if things go southbound then, eh? :)

Well somebody's got to do it. The 1.3bies (I'm workin' on a logo!) is still only one member strong. Although we do have the support of young Master Sam.

I was in Ted's in the city looking at the 1DmkIIN and I recall tossing up the possibility of getting a Mk III after I get an entry level Canon DSLR, so there's still hope yet. ;)Though at this rate I'll be six feet under before then. :confused:.

Will have to try and find the place in the Myer centre. It seemed kind of obvious that the place above ANZAC square would have it too, although i dont go near there any more with not catching the train home from town these days.

how do you get home now?

Bus from outside the casino. It goes straight to Jindalee (stopping at milton, coronation drive, toowong, indropilly etc etc). The bus costs more than the train did too :(

I should point out, that I hope you don't actually think I drew the bee (found him on iStock). I have limited artistic skills in that area. I don't want to be taking credit for someone else's work. I just changed his hands to give me 1 and 3 and added the other bits.

But it is the perfect compromise. Right between FF and the 1.6x crock
Exactly!

I was wavering a bit there....<thinks: Hmmmm...get 1d MkIII now or wait for the 5D MkII.> I don't want to compromise...I'll wait...sorry. But I might change my mind if you come up with a different slogan:D;)
1.3Bee represents the crop, not necessarily a particular camera. When he speaks of a perfect compromise he's referring to the medium between full frame and APS-C sensors.
For instance a 1.6 crop has a 60% increase in apparent focal length over full frame. Full frame sensors provide an extra 37.5% FOV over the 1.6ers.
There's a compromise whichever way you go. Our beloved 1.3Bee offers the option of splitting the difference. Hence, the perfect compromise.

Will have to try and find the place in the Myer centre. It seemed kind of obvious that the place above ANZAC square would have it too, although i dont go near there any more with not catching the train home from town these days.

It's opposite Lowes on the Elizabeth St (main food court) level.

shweet, will check it out next time im in there

Bus from outside the casino. It goes straight to Jindalee (stopping at milton, coronation drive, toowong, indropilly etc etc). The bus costs more than the train did too :(

doh :|

ahhh thanks for clearing that up......

I think for me.... if I was comparing the 5D to the 30D (as being the closest in terms of siblings)... i'd say that the 5D just allows for more width... You can get the 30D's length by cropping to 8MP (1.6x).. so getting same reach and 'quality' of the 30D... but having the flexibility of having more width if required.

That's why I chose the 5D over the 30D.

the reasons for going 1.3 would be completely different, and wouldn't be related to reach or width, cos I'd have 'apparently' no benefit either way... it's not as long as a 1.6, and not as wide as a FF... BUT it gives me a 1D body, integrated grip etc etc..

but you all knew that... and I know we're just playing 1.0oOooer/1.3bee/1.6ie game ;)

[PeacePlanet]

The longest I have read forum threads in one setting ... nearly 30 pages in one go hehehehehe .. Brisbane you are doing well hahhaha :)



Alexson, I love the shot with the waterfall!! I think I told you that already though. oh well I still like it

I know I did - don't know if they are decent though - the waterfall is a bitch to photograph. would be nice if they did it during the magic hour in terms of exposure. Gazza on Flickr got a decent one (http://www.flickr.com/photos/garry61/1298093574/). I never realised that it was horizontal as well.

Thanks for your kind comment Helen and Nick.

I love your the angle of your picture and the colors are amazing ...


cool shot alexson...

are we going cityscaping next week?

Thanks, Feng for your kind comment and the invite. The plans sound great. I would try to make it for both. The times seem to suit me well unless something urgent comes up. If not making it both nights, I am particularly keen on the Kangaroo Point wander on Tuesday as I don't think I have taken any pictures from there before. So, maybe Monday and a definite Tuesday if I can find the location hehehehe. If I take the citycat, which is the closest terminal to stop at for the Kangaroo point ?

Now, let me take a long time to process this first on the nice explanations as I need to get some of the terms first of all heheheh. Thanks as a point of reference for now Nick.

Heh if in doubt and you come Monday, then decide you need a fix on Tuesday, then come along too I'll put you down for Monday first...

We still need meeting times.

So... updated (again!)

The closest would be Southbank. Though, you could catch a ferry from Riverside/Eagle St Pier which will get you closer to where we are meeting. :)

The best thing I can suggest is the Subway at Southbank or on the cliffs just off Main St at the general store. Subway has a Veggie Delight sub which doesn't have meat on it.

no idea :) hehe... i have no idea what's around there :) someone else may be able to share more info.

Sorry, but maybe I was being a bit vague there. I'll be more precise.

Take out the word compromise. It has connotations of some sort of sacrifice being made. Hmmm...maybe I should just go out and buy the 1Ds MkIII and not compromise anything. :-D

Stop rubbing it in. The trains were awesome and somewhat cheaper. You never really appreciate how good they are though, until you are forced to catch a bus everywhere :(

I have a sh*tyExpress bus stop about 300m from my door and I only catch the train. The only time I uses the bus is coming home from the footy -- it's free then.

I train it every day to and from work - I have a 12mth pass that is done as a payroll deduction so no hassle with buying tickets.

Also, please put me down now for a Monday Start with you guys. Tracey says she'll be finished packing etc buy then so I get a leave pass. Woo who.

P.S. Do you pronounce Gee with a G as in game or G as in giant?


Allow me:

(This meet is going to be HUUUUGE!!)

Thanks ;)

It's Gee as in the letter G :)

Yay Greg :D

Kelsey-lee, I'm at Arana Hills, so if you don't mind going topless (the car, guys, the car) I can give you a lift.

I'll PM you my mobile number.

Cheers,

[Primm]

Never once crossed my mind, Feng!

Puts flame suit on....;)


I'm still not graded at BCG so that means I can't enter comps.

I think there has been a rule change recently, or so I've been told. Ungraded members can now enter, only thing is they are stuck in 'B' grade until they are properly graded. :p I don't know if that little ruling applies to the River City comp though.

Stop rubbing it in. The trains were awesome and somewhat cheaper. You never really appreciate how good they are though, until you are forced to catch a bus everywhere :(

I agree, though I find the bus is okay during normal times, but during peak hour or other periods like that the whole thing just falls to pieces. mX always has readers writing in complaining about train services that have been cancelled / haven't been run or are packed like a sardine can, so they're not perfect either.

Certainly is. 1965 Datsun 1600 Fairlady - my baby.

schweet ride! :D
