Meeting place: Town Hall Queen Victoria Building -- The QVB Statue. (Corner of George & Druit St)
Time : 6:00pm meetup for a 6:15pm start, we will have to see how early can people make it. Please be early if possible.

Please PM me your Mob. No if you are coming!

What to bring:
- Camera (duh)
- Tripod if you have one (we can share if you dont bring one)
- A long lens & other lenses as you wish

What to expect:
- plenty of night shooting experience
- some time for catching up / socialising
- HAVE FUN!!!

I may not be able to stay up for the whole thing, but I'll get you all on the way before I leave.

I'll try to make myself available for this, but its hard to be 100% certain as my job is rather unpredictable at the moment.

by **Geoff** on Wed Sep 27, 2006 9:47 pm

Would dearly love to attend, but none of these dates are looking good for me at the moment, that may change but I will be there in spirit (Glen Fiddich perhaps)....have fun!!

by **Yi-P** on Wed Sep 27, 2006 9:59 pm

Geoff,
As this is just a headsup of the plan, we can arrange something to fit everybody's availability. :roll:

Im not sure about my availability on fri nights, but then lets set it as first, who knows what turns up by then

by **asaroha** on Wed Sep 27, 2006 10:29 pm

I live in the CBD so I'm definitely up for this. If it's on the 29th or the 1st, I would suggest darling harbour over the quay as I believe there will be some sort of latin dance festival there during the long weekend, should provide extra shooting opportunities.

by **Paul** on Wed Sep 27, 2006 10:31 pm

Hmm the 1st of Oct is the NRL grand final night so I'll be out of action, the Friday the 7th (Which is actually the 6th) appeals to me

by **moz** on Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:02 am

I'd be up for the 1st or 6th. 29th is Critical Mass followed by Urth Boy. Aside from that I don't really have a preference (except for taking photos

And next Wedcnesday, the 4th, is Bike To Work Day. There's some sort of free breakfast in various places, http://www.bicyclensw.org.au/ridetowork.htm

by **Yi-P** on Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:07 am

Paul, can you make it on this Fri the 29th?

Anyone here can make it the 29th? or want a pushback till fri 6th?

by **wally** on Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:23 am

i might b in sydnee on the 6th. My great aunt is having a renewel of her wedding vows that afternoon and she wants me to take the fotos. shes put on loads of weight and she joked and sed that I might need a wide angel lens...haha. the vows thing is in the afternoon but it'd be ace to meet u guys. Lets do it..lets fly jetstar!

by **Ronza** on Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:30 am

I'll be in Sydney on the 6th, had that night set aside for all my touristy cliche night shots too so it'd be great to meet some DSLRUsers folk...

by **Yi-P** on Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:38 am

Wow, sounds like this voiced in some other states members.

Many votes for the 6th for now, still going on the counts.

Im very keen in visiting the SOH in PINK, hopefully it will still be pink by next week, or else I 'll have to go see myself this week.

No can do for this Friday as I have other plans.

by **Oscar** on Thu Sep 28, 2006 9:58 am

Hey guys - looks like I could be in for the 6th. Cheers, Mick

by **Yi-P** on Fri Sep 29, 2006 12:56 am

Looks like we're mostly set for Friday 6th of next week. :idea:

by **MHD** on Fri Sep 29, 2006 8:42 am

Pity its not the 1st as I just decided to come down to sydney for the weekend...

by **padey** on Fri Sep 29, 2006 8:59 am

I'm keen to come along. I don't think i can make it for dinner, but would be keen to meet up for the night shoot.

Friday nights are better for me.

by **Yi-P** on Mon Oct 02, 2006 10:26 am

Just a quick check...

Is everyone available on Saturday 7th evening/night?

I didnt realise that I have a family event going on the 6th night, cant stay late. :cry:

by **Six** on Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:46 pm

I should be in on either the 6th or 7th, unless something comes up between then and now.

by **Oscar** on Mon Oct 02, 2006 8:14 pm

This get together seemed to suit a lot of people on the 6th - even interstate interest. I'm free for both nights (ATM).

What date suits the majority and the organisers? Suggest we pick the date and confirm it asap.

by **asaroha** on Mon Oct 02, 2006 8:44 pm

6th or 7th is fine for me

by **Yi-P** on Mon Oct 02, 2006 8:53 pm

Yeah this have to be sorted out ASAP.

I can show up and get the group started for the fri night, but I dont think I can stay long enough tho.

by **moz** on Mon Oct 02, 2006 10:20 pm

I'd prefer the 6th. Have plans for the Sat night.

by **Yi-P** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 9:27 am

To all interested members:

The show is ON! Date/time/place finalised. Updated on later post

Sorry that I didnt check the calendar, right on the 6th of Oct, it is Mid-Autumn festival for the Chinese society. There will be plenty of people around Chinatown and posibly Darling Harbour and CBD area. Can be a photographic opportunity, but since we will have to be deploying tripods on the way, its not ideal to have many people walking around us.

And for information only, on the 5-7th of Oct, in the lunar calendar, which is whats to be the perfect round phase of the moon in the year. You may want to bring a long lens with you as well.

Im all free on the 7th night, and on the 6th night, I can stay for a little while to get everything started and going, but wont be staying long for sure.

My apologies for any inconvenience.

by **asaroha** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 10:19 am

Confirmed

I'm free either night

by **Paul** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:42 am

I'm only free on the 6th, but I may have to pull out at the last minute, I'll only know on Friday if I can make it but for now its a yes

by **Matt. K** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 2:22 pm

I'm shooting a wedding on Saturday the 7th and then going on a criuse. I will be totally stuffed by 5PM.

Matt,
Are you then coming for the 6th?

by **Matt. K** on Tue Oct 03, 2006 6:50 pm

Yi-P
Not this time. Some of the wedding party are staying at my place on the 6th. However....next time and I''ll jump at the chance.

You're cutting into my post-work lying in botanic gardens time, but I'm sure I can crawl down to the talking dog by 5pm.

by **Reschsmooth** on Wed Oct 04, 2006 4:15 pm

How long do you guys expect to be loitering around the CBD for? If I can make it, I will let you know, but it wouldn't be until about 8pm.

I may even bring a thermos and tea-bags for some :lol:

Yeah, if things go strong, im sure plenty will still be around by 8pm. I cant say for myself cuz Im not sure whether I can stay or not. I'd be expecting a family event dinner on the night, but Im calling in late for it, so I'll see how long I can say, but sure, come along if you please.

I'd expect that be your tripod weight hang? a thermo filled with tea?? :lol:

Dont be there too early tho, say take a short break at the grass until 5:30 and make your way to the talking dog by 5:30 or 5:45pm?

Gee, this group is getting ever bigger than I'd expected at first!!
Lets all not wear suspecious clothing... black cameras, long lenses, big tripods, and a group of uhm-usual suspects... its not a good sight on Friday night... :lol:

by **Ronza** on Wed Oct 04, 2006 7:05 pm

Any chance of an idea of where we'd be headed? I dont want to shoot the same spot tommorow night and then Friday night :lol:

by **Oscar** on Wed Oct 04, 2006 7:30 pm

Patrick, I'm hoping you're not too late! :wink:

I get very thirsty around 7.30 on a Friday night!!! :lol:

I vote for QVB's interior as our first stop so we can freak the security guys out

by **norbs** on Wed Oct 04, 2006 7:53 pm

I might be a starter. Just gotta run it past the missus. Am I too late? Canon people wont be bashed wil they?

I'll be fine then, *my* lenses are a tasteful cream colour. Not like you perverts with your funny clothes and shady protuberences.

Got the green light flash light.

Bitchin'!

by **gstark** on Wed Oct 04, 2006 8:53 pm

Matt,

Are you sure that's not BGLOD?

Trying not to create cliche works, so we may leave SOH and SHB to the very last if interested.

From top of my head, it can be around Town Hall for start.

Then move on to Darling Harbour and surroundings.

Some other nearby places around.

Lets all hear other's suggestions as well.
