POTN meetup in South Florida

[breadandbutter]

Hello,

I've noticed a few members in the South Florida area. Anyone interested in a meetup?

Let me know,

Kind Regards,

Kevin A

[CyberDyneSystems]

And anyone willing to put me up for the night if I can join you? :lol:

[Billginthekeys]

I've always been up for a meetup. Infact we've talked about it a lot in the Florida members thread, but no one has ever come up with a concrete plan. And Jake, come on down (although i can't guarentee housing haha), and drag Snir down with you.

[breadandbutter]

Let's wait until we spark more interest and then we'll set a day and place to meet.

Let me know what you think.



I can't guarantee housing either as my home isn't that big.

[CTScrivener]

What do you all consider South Florida? I'd love to tag along despite the fact I may look so....scrawny and unprofessional with such a small array of camera gear?....lol.

My opinion of South Florida is Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Collier and Monroe and I would anticipate a meet up maybe in Broward, Dade or Palm Beach, however its going to depend where the majority is located.

We all share the same passion of photographing and despite the equipment we have I believe we can still have a good time.

[Poaceae]

If you do a shoot in Palm Beach I'd be interested. I live in Martin and we're photographing grasses and sedges in Martin and Palm Beach counties. Any trip into natural habitat is productive. I have plenty of room if anyone needs to stay overnight.

Thanks, Do you know of anyplaces in Palm Beach?


The places I propose are the following:

Miami Dade
Miami Metrozoo
Everglades
South Beach
Coral Castle
Vizcaya
Shark Valley

Broward
Butterfly World


Palm Beach
Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens


If anyone has more ideas on where to meet, let see them.

Let's find a place first and then set the time.

[Billginthekeys]

West Palm? Nature? easy, Green Cay, if you haven't been its fabulous for birds.

[breadandbutter]

+1 for Green Cay then.

[HighLife]

broward county here...let me know if this goes on. i might be down..if youll will have a noob haha

I also work at a good BBQ restaurant in this area if you guys want to eat....its in Pompano Beach, called Chez Porky's ... if you from this area you should know that name =) Been open 23 years in march.

[Poaceae]

Most of the areas I go to are in the northern end of Palm Beach:
Hungryland Slough
Corbett Wildlife
Grassy Waters

I'm willing to travel south. I had forgotten to check this thread so if something gets decided and you don't hear from me please send a message.

[HighLife]

i saw a commercial today for the Everglades national park....looks really nice, lots of wild life...boat rentals....maybe do alittle bass fishing if any of you Floridians are fisherman =)

[kblair210]

Great.
Here is the link to Green Cay.

http://www.pbcgov.com/waterutilities/waterfacts/green_cay.htm

I hope others will join too.

[HighLife]

ohh, thanks...its in Boyton beach....thats not to far for me, like a 45min drive or so.

Id be down for sure...

[breadandbutter]

Great.
We'll exchange contact info as the day gets closer.

[breadandbutter]

There has been a change in the schedule.

We will meet at 1:00pm at Green Cay on April 26th.

See you there.

[Billginthekeys]

1pm. I actually might be able to make it then. I'll post for sure if I decide to come.

[breadandbutter]

Great, hope you can make it.

I know the time isn't the best for photography but that park opens at 1:00 pm on Sunday.

[HighLife]

April 26th is a saturday....you mean April 27th correct?

We might be able to get there alittle early...maybe have some breakfast somewhere?

[breadandbutter]

YES, thank you for the correction, it is Sunday the 27th.

I'd be up to meet earlier, however who can't make it in the morning we would still meet at 1:00pm.

[Billginthekeys]

Okay so we ARE talking about Sunday the 27th? Thats fine I just want to make sure. Also, can't you go on the boardwalk regardless of whether or not the office is open?

Now we have the day straightened out. PHEW. *wipes sweat off forehead*

The boardwalk is open from sunrise to sunset, How does 8:00 am sound?

Sorry about the confusion. :confused:

[HighLife]

That sounds good to me...i might be a tad late cause i dont know the roads in that area...however, i will have my GPS with me.

[breadandbutter]

Set it in stone,

Sunday 27th of April between 8:00am-8:30am at Green Cay.

Hope to see you there.

[RickDavisFL]

I'm glad to see that something is forming down here. You can add one more to the expected list of attendees. I don't know if I'll be there right at 8am but I will definitely be there.

As far as the other suggested South Florida locations go I would almost certainly attend as well. I go to butterfly world every few weeks but have not had the time to visit the zoo's or other places since I got my 40D...I'd love to go.

I'd like to suggest Flamingo Gardens for the broward list of things to do along with the west palm zoo that I hear is smaller but very nice.

Anyone in the tri-county area that wants company on a weekend please let me know. I'm always interested in shooting but with no one that shares my interest and my hectic schedule it's rare I do anything.

Finally, as a last minute notice, I was planning to go to Butterfly World this Saturday (April 19) if anyone else wants to go.

[Billginthekeys]

That sounds good to me...i might be a tad late cause i dont know the roads in that area...however, i will have my GPS with me.

Its only like three turns off the turnpike, not hard to find at all.

[HighLife]

kewl, ill have it just in case =) I actually have it on my cell phone and on a TomTom.

[Poaceae]

I'd like to join you if that's o.k.? I won't be there at 8am but should make it before 9. I figure I can recognize the POTN members by the size of their lens.

[Billginthekeys]

I'm 90% sure I'll be there. Coming from Miami I may be a bit late, but I know my way around the park and I'll find you guys.

[malla1962]

Whats it like at Green Cay? I will be over there next week and I might have a look there,What lens will I need? I will have my 300f2.8 and 1.4TC will that be long enough.:confused:

[Billginthekeys]

its a huge boardwalk structure with birds everywhere. the 300 will suffice for sure. There were times when the birds got so close to me sometimes that I couldn't even take their pictures. That said there are opportunities for long shots too.

[HighLife]

As long as they get cell service out there, im sure we can all swap numbers to stay in touch.

[Poaceae]

I want to thank Kevin for putting this meet together. It was great to meet him and Billy. My wife and I had fun and gained some useful information.

[Billginthekeys]

Yea, it was fun, hopefully we can put something larger together later this year that everyone can make it to!

[breadandbutter]

I really enjoyed meeting you all and looking forward for a second meetup.

[breadandbutter]

I wanted to thank Bill and John for driving so far to meetup in Green Cay.
Thanks guys.

I went up there today and wow what a place,I think I will give it another look before I go home.;)

[ChadAndreo]

Anyone wants to set up another meet anytime soon?

[MuahMan]

West Palm? Nature? easy, Green Cay, if you haven't been its fabulous for birds.

Green Cay? isn't that in Boynton Beach?!?! Hmm, it's like 1/2 mile from my house and I've never heard about it until now. Yikes.:rolleyes:

[DozerLYP]

I would be down for a meet up. But I'm out of work now, so it would have to be in Broward or Dade due to my gas hog truck of mine.

[Billginthekeys]

Green Cay? isn't that in Boynton Beach?!?! Hmm, it's like 1/2 mile from my house and I've never heard about it until now. Yikes.:rolleyes:
Yes, more specifically it IS in Boynton Beach. Give it a shot some time. There are lots of great spots up around that area, I wish I lived closer.

PS. Anyone want to buy a printer?

[breadandbutter]

I'd be up for a meetup. Anyone have a date and spot in mind?

[Poaceae]

Hey Kevin, if you don't pick the date and location it doesn't happen. People had talked about a Florida meetup for 3 years before you did Green Cay. What about Wakodahatchee Wetlands?

[breadandbutter]

Hey John,

Good to hear from you. Did you purchase the book. I was on amazon's website and it looks like it came down to a decent price. I'll bring it with me if you'd like on that day.

I was on the Wakodahatchee's website and it looks like a great spot.

Date and Time
How about Sunday August 3rd at 8:00am.

I look forward for our second meetup.

I'll carpool if someone needs it coming from Pompano Beach.

[Poaceae]

Kevin, Book is on my Amazon wish list. Have been busy with the grass and sedge identification and photography. And now involvement in frog and toad monitoring. It will be on my next order from Amazon. August 3rd will be O.K. Probably closer to 8:30 like last time. I'm coming from the Stuart area if anyone needs a ride.

[Poaceae]

Kevin, I've spent the last 2 years working on a grass and sedge identification project with George Rogers at PBCC. George writes a weekly column in the Sunday Palm Beach Post Residences section. Interestingly, this week's column is about the Wakodahatchee Wetlands. Check it out.

[breadandbutter]

Thanks for the info.
I did not buy the Palm Beach newspaper, they don't sell it in Broward but I did manage to find it online.

[Poaceae]

Was hoping to hear from Bill G that he could make it.

[Billginthekeys]

I'm definitely thinking about it, but right now I am in the keys for summer. I don't know what my plans will be by then, but hopefully I will know middle of the month.

[Poaceae]

Hope you can make it. Are you going to the FL Keys Birding Festival in Sept ?

[breadandbutter]

Billie I also hope you can make it and hopefully more Floridians will join as well.

[DozerLYP]

NAPP (National Association Photoshop Professional) are doing a Photo Walk in a lot of cities on August 23th, and they will be giving prices for best photo of the day.
I subscribed to the one they have in Ft Lauderdale, it's free. If you guys would like to go, you need to register fast, As they are a limited of 50 photographers. this just started tonight, so don't wait too long. linky (http://www.photoshopuser.com/photowalk/)

[Billginthekeys]

Geez, I'm a NAPP member, they normally email me about EVERYTHING, I'm amazed I didn't know about this.

Depending on what they are doing I might sign up for ft lauderdale.

[DozerLYP]

it's going to be a 2 hour walk to be determine by the walk leader, and then we all going to a Pub or cafe shop to talk about our pictures kind of thing.

They're going to setup a a flickr account to put our pictures, and the leader will pic a winner of the day. The winner will get a the Lightroom2 book and the picture will be going for the final. The winner of the final will get some really nice stuff. A wacom 6x11, Lightroom 2, creative suit 3 and 2 passes to Photoshop world in Las Vegas. the passes alone worth $1200.

[Poaceae]

I see a lot of Florida locations listed - unfortunately I have a commitment on the 23rd.

[Billginthekeys]

Too bad Kelby's is on the west coast, I would go on his if I could. I'll probably go to the ft lauderdale one though.. unless they make a miami one.

[DozerLYP]

it's at 9am at Commercial peer. I'll be there, but it's going to be rough. I work till 5am, then it will be no point for me to go all the way home to go back a few hours later. So I'll just go there and take some pics of the sunrise and then go have breakfast before they all get there.

[Poaceae]

Hey Kevin, If you changed your name to Kilby and we gave away a book maybe we'd have more people join us for the walk-around on the 3rd.

Seriously, this is to invite others to join us at Wakodahatchee Wetlands on Sunday August 3 at 8am. Directions can be found in post #59 in this thread.

[Billginthekeys]

Okay I signed up for the walk. I also may be there this weekend for the meet too. I will be in Ft. Lauderdale so it wouldn't be too big a deal to go I don't think.

[breadandbutter]

Hey Kevin, If you changed your name to Kilby and we gave away a book maybe we'd have more people join us for the walk-around on the 3rd.


Good thing my name isn't Ken or else no one would show up. ;)

I'm glad Bill is going to try to make it.

[DozerLYP]

the Photo walk in Ft Lauderdale is full already.

I wish I could go to Wakodahatchee Wetlands with you guys, But I work Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays till 5 am. So it's I'll be too tired to go back to work.

On the 23rd for the photo walk, I had already took that Saturday off, because I have things to do that night. So I'll be able to get some rest at one point that day.

[Poaceae]

Had another nice outing with Kevin and his wife, who is becoming a wonderful photographer. It's always nice to get together and talk about equipment and techniques even if the photographic interests are not the same. I always learn something from others that I can use. Thanks Kevin and Paula - I look forward to the next time.

[breadandbutter]

My wife and I enjoyed very much the outing with you and your wife. Thanks and looking forward for the next one.

[DozerLYP]

one week to go before photowalk.

[breadandbutter]

one week to go before photowalk.
How did it go?

[DozerLYP]

it was fun, I got there at 6am, way before anybody. and got some shot of the sunrise. Good time.

[Billginthekeys]

Yea, I'd say it was fun, even if I didn't bring enough change to feed the meter and had to leave before lunch.

[DozerLYP]

Yea, I'd say it was fun, even if I didn't bring enough change to feed the meter and had to leave before lunch.

Glad to hear you can make it Kevin. Dee and I meet you in the museum at 8:30. Brian, I hope tyou can make it.

[RaymondXTi]

Another new S FL member checking in. Name's Raymond, I live in north Dade County. Are there any regular meet-ups, or just a special occasion deal? I'd love to get together with some of you and learn whatever possible, just got my Rebel a month ago and still learning with it.

[Billginthekeys]

So dozer did you see the picture that won from ft Lauderdale ? What did you think of it?

[Poaceae]

Doesn't Kelby make his living teaching people how to manipulate images in Photoshop? It doesn't seem surprising to me that the Lauderdale winner would be something created in Photoshop. I was only surprised that Scott's overall winners didn't have that look.

[Poaceae]

Brian, I'm planning to get there at 8:30. You can find something for any of the lenses you have under your name. People, architecture, landscape, plants, fish, etc. Not sure what lenses Kevin is taking but he generally concentrates on people. I concentrate on plants and generally use a 50mm, 17-40, or 100mm macro. So the choice is yours. I've been there before but it's my first photography visit. You can PM me or Kevin if you need a contact cell No. Look forward to meeting you.

[breadandbutter]

BTW Its Brian not Bill.....:)

Sorry I got your name confused :o .

[WSpruance]

How do I get on the list? Do I send in my e-mail address or just wait for a post? I live in Fort Lauderdale and travel to many of the places suggested.
Thanks for your reply.

[Poaceae]

[quote=WSpruance;6373870How do I get on the list? quote]

Just keep subscribed to the thread and check for posts. Someone will pick another location and we'll do it again. Thanks for the interest.

Hello Folks, I live in the west Hollywood area

[bckane]

Hello Folks, I live in the west Hollywood area
Hey Jeff welcome to the board....keep checking back we should have a photo shoot coming up in the next couple of weeks.

[Poaceae]

If anyone has a location or theme in mind, speak up. The Palm Beach Zoo is always interesting. Kevin could get some portraits of monkeys. Here's a link: http://www.palmbeachzoo.org/information.html

[bckane]

John I have my son coming from Alaska next week he will be here for 2 weeks. After that I would love to hookup with you and Dee Kevin and paula...Wow got the names right this time...:)

[Poaceae]

You're spot on with the names. Have a nice visit. Let's plan a walkaround for Nov 2 (Sunday). That will give people time to decide where they want to go. Ideally, the location would be mid-Palm Beach county which will help driving times.

[Poaceae]

We may have to delay the meetup. I talked to Kevin and he may be in Boston the first part of November. If so, we will move the meetup to later in the month. Still waiting for ideas about a location.

Thanks for postponing it as I want to make it. I'll probably be home by Nov 9th, but I don't think I'll be home any time before that.

I also would vote for the Palm Beach Zoo as it is an enjoyable place.

Do we setup a meetup for this day?

[bckane]
