Any Oz photographers for a group eshoot?

[bnlearle]

Any photographers want to do a group meet and shoot in Sydney the 23rd (of this month)? I'll be out there for a wedding in Fiji and it'd be fun to meet and shoot with some the Aussie photographers :)

If you are keen to hang around for a few days there's PMA Australia’s 2009 Imaging Technology Show on the weekend.
Where/what were you thinking of shooting?

[bnlearle]

I've got to fly out the next day or else that'd be rad :( I've no clue where we'd shoot - I figure we'd do the obvious around the bridge/opera house and just go from there!

One thing to keep in mind Bobby is that the Harbour Foreshore Authority is a pain in the arse, so we are somewhat limited to where we can shoot.

Sometimes you get away with it, but a group of camera dudes swarming isn't exactly subtle LOL. I've been booted a few times :(

I've never been moved along from either the Opera House or the Harbour Bridge sites. I've never even been bothered by the security guards.

The Opera House should be fine, but certain spots around the Bridge are no-no's. I've been booted during an e-shoot there before ;)

Oh and I'll be there, of course. Feel free to contact me if you can't reach Bobby closer to the time.

I'm likely available - it'd be good to get out and shoot, plus meet a few photogs from the area (and one from San Diego, where I grew up).

Cant make it the 25th can you ?? hehe

[deletedpenguin]

23rd....actually would probably work for me, now that I look at my calender. Still heading out our direction?

[ofdphoto]

*Something* will be happening on the 23rd. My guess is that we'll confirm a plan sometime Friday night, when Bobby arrives in Newcastle.

[deletedpenguin]

Sounds good.

[bnlearle]

So unless there's a couple amongst us that can be shot, or we can just grab a random tourist couple as we go along, this is going to be more a hang out time than anything :D

I think we'll meet at the McDonalds in Circular Quay around 2pm :) All are welcome! Can't wait!

Tomorrow? Where's the McDonalds? I don't remember ever seeing one...

[ofdphoto]

Yep, tomorrow (Tuesday) 2pm, the McDonald's is just over the road from the wharves. You can see it from the train station entrance.

[deletedpenguin]

Ah, ok. Shows how much I go to McDonald's. :p

Bobby lurvs McDonald's. He actually called it "real food" the other day. I dared not correct him :D

Aherm. McDonalds's is real food? He's from San Diego! What happened to In-N-Out Burger?!

Say it aint so Bobby!?

[deletedpenguin]

Today has been a Monday to end all Mondays. Among other things, my hard drive on my work laptop died today, and while HP said they'll replace the hard drive, they need to send a technician to replace it (even though I'm more than capable) tomorrow. The won't tell me when he'll show up, so if he's here in the morning, I'll be at McDonald's at two. Otherwise I'll have to pass guys.

Here's hoping he's early - it'd be good to meet some fellow photogs.

[bnlearle]

2pm today :D

And In n Out is DEFINITELY more real than McDonalds ;) I hope you're coming, Stefan!

[deletedpenguin]

Definitely trying to make it. HDD is still not here. :(

[deletedpenguin]

Nothing here yet, so I'm afraid I'll have to pass. Bobby, hope the rest of the trip goes smoothly, and have a safe trip back to San Diego.

Have fun today guys.

[ofdphoto]

You could still make it ... I'm just about to leave Newcastle now. ;)

[deletedpenguin]

^Hehe, that's some fancy driving. :p

If it comes in the next 1/2 hour so, I'll be there. Otherwise, it's a no go. I'd have to catch the bus.

[bnlearle]

We had fun :)

[deletedpenguin]

Ah looks like a blast. Next time. :)

Bobby, you're in Escondido right?

[bnlearle]

Yeah! Someone knows their SoCal geography :)

[deletedpenguin]

Hehe, yeah. I grew up in Poway, graduated from Poway High, and my parents now live in Escondido (out in the San Pasqual Valley). I remembered reading Escondido in there somewhere.

Next time I'm out your way, we should meet up, if you're interested.
