Photo Trippin'.

Steve, you left out the whole reason for swimming in the first place, ...no swimming, NO bikinis! Nice explaination otherwise. The article said that, too, but I didn't feel that it was relevant 'cause I just wanted to razz you guys a bit!

Hi Guys,
just got back today from a trip to Orange and catching up on latest developments. Got your number Carzee, will give you a buzz when I arrive......hope you can make it Steve.....see the rest of you there.......hmmm surf lifesavers and pantyhose....lets not go there!
Roger.

I always wanted too come to Australia and now that i have 20D. I have all the more reason too come down there. Gonna buy 70-200 2.8 IS and a 24-70 2.8 then i might fly over there.

You all still gonna be doing this photo thing ? maybe like april ?

Hey Mikeymike, I'm certainly happy to do one again in April, keep in touch,
Roger.

Here's a location shot from yesterday at Dunbogan beach south of Port. 24mm Zuiko. This is a cliff reclaimed/vegetated from an old quarry.

The full pic is here (take 2)

I reckon as a location it has quite a few things going for it. I shot Pelicans and marinas, etc.

hey Carzee

Is that the hunter valley in the background , that looks like a nice spot to go in April for when mickeymike comes over

Well, its not the Hunter. This is 2 hrs and a bit north up the Pacific Hwy (more like a goat track at the moment). Its got a bit of a shopping strip, lookouts, fishing and marina-morings scenes on the river, koala, and its close to Port with all thats up there.

The way petrol is going, well... any travel over 100km is all too far anyway.

beautiful photos Carzee. Not making any promises but i am really gonna try and get out there.

When I think about it, that shot shows typical beach and dune and coastal lake/estuary with a bit of the ranges in the background.

For the benefit of those POTN members elsewhere, this pic could be easily confused with places such as Urunga, Sawtell, Port Stephens-Fern Bay and many others; most of the quiet stretches of New South Wales coastline from north of Sydney to south of the Tweed is very similar (ie; wherever there's minimal buildings/development = 95%).

Make the effort Mikey. That stretch of coast is my old stomping ground & it really is beautiful

If another one is up scheduled for April & I'm in the country, you can count me in

You can bet i am gonna put in some effort but i work for a small hospital and there is only 2 of us in my department and some times things just dont work out and then there is the money

Alright.. It's looking as though I'm going to be able to make it without a problem at this stage for the 11th at Broke.. What time are people planning on getting there?

I hope my Sterlingtek batteries and the 50mm/BG-E2 arrive before then.. they're meant to

Jim

Hi Jim,
we don't seem to have settled on a time as yet, we should probably do that now. What does everybody think is a good hour to meet? Seeing as it's an event, around 10am seems like a good time to me,
Roger.

As long as i'm back to watch St.George win there semi final game and march into the Grand Final I,m going to leave early cause its a 2.5 hour drive so i'll hang around until then.
