2007 Albany, NY Wedding Forum Meet - Photos

[Niraj]

Ditto for me. :) It looks like you guys put a dent in it anyway.

Kathy, a toilet phone is what I need in my tiny bathroom here at home ;). Thanks for modeling it.

but would you actually use the phone while doing a number 2? i'd be far too embarassed, lol...

or is it for another purpose that i've overlooked? lol :D

[SuzyView]

And did we talk about sterilizing it before talking? ;)

[Niraj]

that's what the alcohol in the tub is for right? alcohol is a good substitute for disinfectants :D

[Niraj]

whoa, lol... this could be pushing this topic way off track... apologies in advance lol

[SuzyView]

Getting back to the topic. :) I'm processing more shots today. But really, I think we've covered it all. Getting the few model shots I have and sending them. James or Robert, please tell us where to mail the CD's to in PM's or the bridal shop address. Thanks.

[arch1tect]

that was supposed to be our secret!

So, how's the weather in NJ?
Is that a plane outside... yeah, I think it's a plane! Do you have planes in NJ?
It sure is dark early today...

It's finally getting cold, but it's raining today.

Planes in NJ???? c'mon.

[gheesom]

Hey Mike, how things?

[arch1tect]

I'm staying home sick because someone infected me with this killer disease. If anyone else gets a rash, let me know. ;0P

[gheesom]

so glad I wasn't there at the weekend then ;) there seemed to be an awful lot of hugging going on :p

[arch1tect]

I brought my fiance so my hugs were safe, but it definitely was a blast and I can't wait to go shoot weddings with everyone.

[stathunter]

Yea........I was going to mention the same.......seems like they might have caught cooties! :rolleyes:

[arch1tect]

I think Bryan gave it to me.

[Niraj]

lol...do you mind if i ask where exactly upon your body this rash might be?

[arch1tect]

That's about all I got. again, it was a blast and can't wait for the next one.

[bcap]

That's awesome Lloyd! LOL

I can't wait until my e-shoot on saturday to play around with the lighting. =]

[picturecrazy]

be sure to post up the pics!!! Just remember, with a couple, don't use a very aggressive light angle or one person's shadow may cover the other person's face or something.

We're going to be in an urban enviroment so I think they'll mostly be back light with a little fill.

But thanks for the advice.

Oh man, TOTALLY do some off-camera fill! It gives the photos so much more dimension!

Just get Kristin to tag along as your portable lightstand :)

Way to use your available resources!

[SuzyView]

I just talked to the people at the Desmond today. They wanted to know if everything went okay. I told them we were grateful for the ease of use of their facility. No one even complained about us and the staff said it looked like we were having a great time. :)

So, I asked if they wanted any copies of shots we took around their hotel. They said they'd love it for PR. If some of you don't mind, I think we should let the Desmond PR people have at it with our shots to publicize. But the release of the models is most important. I think we need to iron out a few things with them.

Again, thanks for everyone really enjoying the hotel and each other without making me get a big bill after. I think we need to do this again every year. Just won't be the same as the first time, but who knows. Whenever I've gotten together with any of the POTN friends, it's been amazing and fun.

[jamiewexler]

That's awesome Suzy, but we didn't do anything disruptive or destructive, and we put everything back the way we found it (a few of us stayed a couple extra minutes to set the lodge up the way it was when we came in). Also we paid for the facilities and our rooms. While I don't mind giving the models and the dress shop photos in exchange for the valuable service that they provided, I'm hesitant to just give the Desmond photos that we took there. The provided a great service, which we all paid for...we don't owe them anything else. There were some awesome photos that came out of the shoot...from everyone...photos that have value in marketing the Desmond to prospective brides and grooms (i.e. photos that make them money). I don't think it's cool to give them the photos for free. Just my $.02...

I agree with this, we paid for their services and behaved professionally. I feel that giving them such great marketing supplies for free while we couldn't even get coffee just isn't right.

[SuzyView]

I don't think they are expecting anything from us. I just thought a few pictures, maybe around 5 (seriously, that's it) and call it good. I was thinking a few that Lloyd took of the models in the gazebo area with the skylights, a few that Jeff took in the far side of the courtyard, and few from the doorway. That's it. Heck, I wouldn't give everything up. :) What we are giving to the models and the bridal shop is really appropriate. And we all behaved ourselves perfectly well and they said that. I wouldn't expect anything else. It was all good.

[arch1tect]

Suzy, next time I'd check with the people who took the photos before offering. Unless you have something to offer for free, don't offer it because now some of the other people will feel pressured to give the images.

[MDJAK]

I don't think much needs to be made of this offer of pics. The Desmond will probably forget about it. Nobody needs feel any pressure. Heck, I don't feel any because any shots I took would scare away potential weddings :(

[DigiRebelXTI]

I think Brian's g/f is going to be there, so we'll put her to work.

HAHA...yeah we'll see how she likes the business! I am looking forward to this shoot!

I am pumped to test my newly learned skills! :D

[Shoot it]

I agree with Jamie! Suzie we all paid for the use of the room and everyone that stayed paid for there rooms. Remember when we were going to get coffee and they wanted to charge $5 a head, we dont need to give them anything. I spoke to two of the girls and we are going to meet thursday for the model releases. I should be able to get the other release by sat. I will then post it for everyone.

If everyone could send me 5-10 of your favorite photos of each girl on a disc so i could make them copies that would be great. I will also make a copy for Davids Bridal for loaning the wedding gowns to us. They also have not called me about a cleaning fee for the gowns yet. I dont think they are going to though.:)

Please send them to

Robert McCrea

[bcap]

Thanks for the update Rob!

For the record, I agree with Jamie. They didn't necessarily go "above and beyond" for us - again, the $5.00 coffee thing. Why should we do so for them?

Either way, the models will be super happy with the shots :)

Hm. I would be more than happy to help!

I've never used photobucket before, but, I'm sure that they give you a link once you upload a photo to them, right?

Well, copy that link, click the little mountain icon at the top of your reply window and paste the link in there.

Easy as 1-2-3!

[Shoot it]

I see what you mean, Will try again tomorrow!

Do you know when you might be able to get me out a copy of your shots for the models?

[bcap]

I'm working on it. I really don't have TONS of the models. Probably on 10 total ... but I'll get them to you asap for sure!

[Shoot it]

Thanks

[Niraj]

excellent pics Rob, nice one :)

(as a side note, you're using double [IMG] tags :) )

i found myself scrolling up to look at your last pic of that particular model, 3 or 4 times... not sure if it's the beautiful model, or the photo... so to be safe, i'll say well done to you (for capturing the image) AND her parents (for ya know) :D lol

[DigiRebelXTI]

Nice Work Rob!!! :D

How do you want us to send you the photos of the models?

[Niraj]

How do you want us to send you the photos of the models?

I know you're not talking to me, but IF you want to send me them here, can you please get the model in the last pic to hand deliver them to me :oops:

thanks.. lol

[SuzyView]

Rob, you're good. :)

I only have a few shots, too. I'm working on the CD for you guys.

How is everything this morning? My arms are finally not sore from carrying my luggage around. :)

[Toogy]

I may be able to finally look at some of the pictures I took and post some!

[Grace]

Glad you made it back Jeff. That road pic with the snow looked scarey!!!!!!

[SuzyView]

Between your flight and dead dear, Kathy, and Jeff's snow covered roads, I think you had it worse. :) He's Canadian, he's used to snow. :)

What is a good football game without bad weather? Looks like it was hot chocolate weather.

oh how "page 3" has a different meaning over here in the UK. lol

(more-so when referring to bathtub shots) lol

[mezorn26]

Do any of you have POTN neck straps? This is some sort of blasphemy.:x

http://images30.fotki.com/v470/photos/8/825806/4187436/_MG_1955-vi.jpg?1194218497

Did anyone ever think "what happens if someone spills the water?:lol::lol:

[Toogy]

I have a POTN neck strap :)

[Niraj]

Jeff, that question was posted AGES ago, lol... i think you were still driving back :D

The question this time is "Did anyone ever think "what happens if someone spills the water?""

Yes spilling the water would have been BAD!!!

In college, we used a horse water trough. When it got empty, two guys decided to get in and have a bath. But I think they were largely responsible for the emptiness of said trough.

I am SO in for a meet if there's gonna be one in Seattle or Western Canada!

[mikegrasso]

So when is the next one I want to go??

[SuzyView]

We have to recover first. :)

[bcap]

I'm up for a Winter get together if everyone else is ... !

[SuzyView]

Winter, in Canada! :);)

[SuzyView]

Okay, I won't be sarcastic. Can we consider early spring? I'm up for a shoot in Niagra Falls when the water is really running down. They have beautiful gardens there and we can rent a great hotel.

[arch1tect]

I think we should do a winter meet in Vermont, for some snowboarding and skiing. I can probably arrange a group discount.

[bcap]

I think a winter/snow shoot would be awesome!

... Niagara ... :)

[thebrewer]

Niagara and VT both work for me!

[arch1tect]

:(

I'm out if it's in Alberta.

[SuzyView]

Sorry, can't spell well on line. :)

First of all, I don't mind taking pictures in the cold weather, used to live in upstate NY. But I prefer warmer weather. I bet if you plan it, people will come, though. So, be creative and someone take charge. That should do it.

[picturecrazy]

Elevations for alberta ski resorts:

Marmot: 8570 ft
Lake Louise: 8650 ft
Sunshine: 8954 ft THREE mountains for ONE resort!!
Norquay: 7000 ft


Elevations for Ontario ski resorts:
Blue Mountain: 1482 ft
Horseshoe: 1332 ft


I think it's a no brainer. hahaha

[SuzyView]

My hubby and 2 boys love to ski. They would ski all day and I would hang out in the lodge drinking hot chocolate. Maybe I'll be at the edge of the slopes taking pictures. :) It can happen.

[arch1tect]

And it's dry cold too, right Lloyd?

So we only need shorts.

[SuzyView]

And tee-shirts. :)

[picturecrazy]

And it's dry cold too, right Lloyd?

So we only need shorts.

dude I kid you not. There are people crazy enough to do that. I've seen women skiing in bikinis. No joke. That is rare but I've seen it on more than one occasion...

Actually, I've skied many times with no jacket.

[SuzyView]

Lloyd is so convincing. :)

[sblais]

women skiing in bikinis?? I'm in !!!

[bcap]

Well, I'm up for an Alberta POTN meet ... Lloyd is up for it. That makes 2.

[picturecrazy]

Lloyd is so convincing. :)

hahaha, how can you argue with that? Both Lake Louise and Sunshine have 8km (5 mile) continuous downhill runs you can do.

[sblais]

hahaha, how can you argue with that? Both Lake Louise and Sunshine have 8km (5 mile) continuous downhill runs you can do.

When we were in Banff, we actually climbed about 1 km of dirt road at Sunshine... We were misguided by our book guide... The trail started at the top of the road... the road was NOT a part of it :( But hey, once we got up there, there was a nice view!

[picturecrazy]

hahaha, maybe we'll luck out and see some. But probably not. When the temps drop though, it can get really cold on the slopes. I won't lie.

PICS!!! was this sunshine? I've hiked from the bottom to the top in the summer. That was tough, but walking DOWN was even tougher.

[sblais]

How dare you bring my hopes down! :p

We'll have to dress up accordingly! Not only a speedo, but shorts and a t-shirt!

[sblais]

To be honest, we didn't even had a remote chance of processing those! It's on our list... after our backlog of work is cleared up :( Maybe a few weeks!

[JJacula]

I'm up for it ... that makes three!

I would love to have a meet in Seattle in mid to late November. My husband went last year for a Seahawks game and fell in love with the city and the Christmas craziness, now I want to go see it all, too!

[sblais]

But I posted a few pics of our trip on one of the old chat threads... did you see those?

Looking at some of the photos from the last meet, you all might enjoy the variety of microbrews Seattle has to offer :D

[sblais]

Hopefully in a few weeks... I have a few orders of prints (extra prints, woohoo!), an Asuka book and a matted album to design, send out and assemble... I should be done in a few weeks...

*sigh*

[arch1tect]

It's roughly $500 round trip to fly into Calgary, then add the car rental or shuttle and lodging. Way over my budget.

Eee ... probably out of my budget too. At least for a weekend, maybe if we made it a week or two instead of just 2 days ...

Just book one extra wedding and you're set!

So...2.

Should be easy enough...cept I am getting married and have to buy a house.

[sblais]

I love how we measure prices in terms of weddings! Mmm... I can get that new lens in 2 weddings, that new MkIII in like 5 weddings.... So I'll try to do 7 weddings this year!

We'll go to VT and cry ourselves to sleep.

[thebrewer]

Seattle is proof that you can live on coffee and beer. Great town, lots of neat history. I would probably have to bring mmy wife along on that one. (She shoots Canon too!) She has always wanted to go out there, but she never could come along on my business trips.

Lots of of goo beers up in VT, good skiing too!

... VT?

[thebrewer]

Vermont, just past Albany for you.

[arch1tect]

... VT?

Vermont, it's actually like 1 1/2 hrs from Albany.

Damnit, so, like ... 7 hours of driving? In the winter? Eeeee ... ! LOL

[picturecrazy]

hey now, our mountains have snow... if you don't mind it a bit wet and icy on the slopes >.<

have you ever skied on dry powder? oh man, it's amazing. The powder can be so dry and loosely packed that sometimes you're blasting through and you can't even see your skis or feet because it's cutting through the powder. It's so loose that it doesn't even slow you down. That's a rare condition but amazing nonetheless.

see how much a flight is to EWR(newark) and I'll drive you up.

It's roughly $500 round trip to fly into Calgary, then add the car rental or shuttle and lodging. Way over my budget.

Find a friend on here and split the car rental and hotel two ways ... really, you could split the car rental four ways if you planned it well!

seattle? what are you talking about? I'm trying to get it here in alberta and you're suggesting Seattle!! shame on you! hahaha

For 2009 I mean. LOL

Eee ... probably out of my budget too. At least for a weekend, maybe if we made it a week or two instead of just 2 days ...

You can come visit me for the rest of the time. I'd feed you and everything.

Wonder what it would cost to rent out a house or condo in Jasper or one of the skihills down south for a weekend? That might be the way to go.

nope :( Actually I haven't been snowboarding or skiing in 3 or 4 years... probably because I never enjoyed falling on the hard snow, haha.

I have all my off-time allocated for my honeymoon next year, so a road trip is definitely not going to happen.

Stratton always has good deals and it's on the slopes which is what I like.

[Tommy]

I'd be in for VT! Would love to meet up with you guys! I just started snowboarding a couple years ago, so I'm not at all very good, but I really enjoy it! :D

[SuzyView]

Anyone notice my "Toogy Style" avatar? Made my boys pose like that.

[picturecrazy]

toogy style with two? Is that possible? ;)

cool pic. Are they swimming in pumpkins? The pic is so small it's hard to tell!

[SuzyView]

No, just sitting on a few. I had them pose normal, then do the toogy style for fun. The closer on is actually out of focus as it was getting late and I had it at f2.8. But if it were earlier, I would have set it better.

[Shoot it]

Nice Work Rob!!! :D

How do you want us to send you the photos of the models?

Brian,

Please put them on a disc and send them to me via mail

If everyone can pm me when there disc is done so i can give you me address that will be great. Like i said i will be meeting the models for the releases

Michael,

What is the name of the ski resort you are talking about in VT. I would love to attend that. Need to sharpen my skiis!:evil:

Jennifer,

What is your cost for designing a website for me?

[mikegrasso]

Yah, I think I am out for the winter. Let me know when the spring meet is, that I can do. I won't mind Alberta in the spring.

[JJacula]

Jennifer,

I don't do photographer websites ... way too much work! There are lots of companies who specialize in servicing photogs.

Cool Rob. Will do. Once i get done with school this week i'll get them on a CD and send them over!


BTW- Mikey already knows this, i am definitely in for a meet in VT :D

[arch1tect]

Stratton Mountain is the ski resort, but we need to book soon to get that rate.

[g-money]

Looks like you guys and gals had a blast. However due to that fact this meeeting was up north. I think it would only be the fair thing to do is have the next one down here in the south. Say the Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin area sounds good to me with St Louis or Nashville coming in a close second.
