Kansas City Photography Meet - September '06

After a very successful and fun August Meet, it's time to plan one for September!
Due to scheduling conflicts, we're CANCELLING this meeting. We'll reschedule in the next few weeks.

See PAGE 5 for discussion of the reschedule!

Count me in! My first choice would be the zoo, but it's sooooo huge we'd never see each other again once we left the front entrance. I'm up for whatever though.

Erik,

A plaza fountains/architecture shoot at night would be nice. Perhap the Liberty Memorial and Union Station. We should be available in the evenings. Saturday (24th) is Liberty's Fall Festival and I will be busy there till mid-afternoon. Otherwise we'll be at the meet.

I am open to all of the above! The zoo would be fun and Downtown/Midtown/West Bottoms for an evening or night shoot have my votes!

Personally, my schedule dictates a September 23-24 meet OR one that's in the evenings during the week of the 4th. I could possibly do the week of the 18th, but I'm hoping to be swamped with orders from the previous four days of events.

I like the Plaza/Downtown/West Bottoms shoot in the evening. I haven't gone solo simply due to safety concerns, but with a large group, I don't forsee that being a problem. I'm thinking we could meet for dinner around 6-7, start shooting at 7-8, and finish up by 10pm at the latest since I think all of us have jobs to get back to in the morning!

well being only a "girl" I'd HAVE to have an escort in those areas... as long as I had me one, I'm good with that.

I could club an assailant w/ my tripod if the need arises!!

just take the camera off first!!!!

LOL, especially now that I have my 30d!! I'll have first shots from it tonight...

COOL!! can't wait to see them! Going to shoot anything fun?

just my daughter (like always!)

First of all I want to say it was a real pleasure to meet all of you. I look forward to our next meet.

I like a lot of the pictures that were posted. In particular I liked Erik’s “Girl on Steps” & the “Photographer under the Birdie” shots. Also Erik thank you for the group shot … I am sorry my eyes were closed. Leere did a nice job on the “Headless Sculptures” shot and used the sky real well. I like Viodea’s first shot with all the differing shapes & the fact that you were able to produce so many consistently good images. Huskies “Thinker” is real well done and you obviously know your post production. Joekr’s birdie view is a unique perspective & to answer your question no, I for one don’t think you posted too many. Great job to all, it’s cool to see all the variety.

Here are a few images I took. This is the first time posting like this so I hope I am doing it right. I am posting them on this thread because I figured the other thread is probably dead or dying. Please correct me if I am wrong to do so.

I did some variations of the “Gallery of Art” shot to see which one you all might like best (if at all). I don’t always PhotoShop so much but I thought these images could use more impact. Seeing all the art that day may have got me feeling a little artsy. This is also the first time I’ve framed photos for the net. I am not sure if this is an enhancement or a distraction. What do you think? The last shot of Kaufman Stadium I shot the night before our meet but I thought you might enjoy it.

Sorry to have such a large post. I’ll look forward to our next meet.
