Luke, Jim, anyone... i worked in the heat today and after a rough week i'm looking for some R & R -a shoot at Nobbys Beach 5am

where is nobbys beach? how far from sydney

I'm keen. Can't hang around for too long though as church starts at 10. You name the time and place, I'll be there!!

With (no) early morning traffic it would take you a bit under 2 hours to get to nobby's from the start of the F3. Allowing for a little time to get lost on the way (if you're like me!!)

I'm usually done after 7.30
Hoping for some human silohuettes (spelling sus).

edit =Committee decision, so orderd by decree - 5AM, Nobbys Beach carpark by the surfclub.

Tripods for telephoto landscapes and early light!

I think I'll be up for a 5am shoot, preferrably at the baths - really depends on how early work calls me in, if they call me in for a 3pm start I'll definitely be up for it. I should know in a couple of hours but I'll be out at a gig.. I can post here when I get back (probably midnight or thereabouts) or I can message anyone who wants.. just PM me and I'll give you my mob

Is the Baths location for you all about a more interesting foreground than Nobbys? Are there swimmers?

Thanks for the mob... Can't say that I've really gone down to the baths that early in the a.m. for a while but now that you mention it there may well be swimmers. I have a desire to capture the Bogey Hole and both Merewether and Newcastle baths as sunrise hits - I'm quite happy to do elsewhere as well but by the end of the year I definitely want some keepers of those three at sunrise.

I like all of those ideas. But we're still meeting at Nobby's tomorrow, right?

Cheers.

Nobbys first. Then its short walk to the baths along the waterfront if we want.. just gonna wipe my sensor right now, then Zzzzz.

I wonder what possessed me to want to get up in three hours to catch the sun.. oh well. I think I might need a sensor clean before I do any landscape shots, too, it's been a couple of weeks

Aussie Club Newie meeting went well. Me, Luke and Jim. Unfortunately Mr Sun didn't wanna get out of bed.

I'm doing some PP right now - complicated settings to get all I can out of 14 shades of grey. Sad that the sunrise was socked in by off shore cloud.

Good idea would be to do a separate thread for the Nobbys shoot and link it here:

hi all - new to photography - reading heaps, learning lots, taking lots of photos - would love to get out and about to get some of those great shots i've been seeing - but 3 young kids kinda makes early morning/evening photo shoots an impossibility at moment - so i just stick to shooting the kids, the pets, and anything else i find around the yard - but then practice makes perfect (i hope...LOL) and i am probably learning more about my camera this way - but one day........

Hi ingi and Welcome to the clubhouse. Sounds a lot like normal sitrep at your home. We do what we can. Enjoy.
Are you near Bong Bong? (Gotta love indigenous place names like that.)

I'm just back from a weekend in Sydney - drove through the southern highlands thinking - wow - the weather is getting clearer and warmer!

Sydney on Saturday was oppressively hot - today it was cold, overcast and miserable.

Hi John, glad the mobile ashtray thingy has air con? It does, right?
