DSLR Cooloola Trip

[mitedo]

We had a great day thanks every body
A few pic from the day

[marcotrov]

Beautiful shots with lovely colour. I particularly like the Grecian columns, #7 i believe, great vivid blue sky backdrop, the sharpness and colour contrast of the columns against the deep blue sky and interspersed clouds. It reminds me of a typical scene in ancient Greece. Where oh where are the vestal vergins?
Taken with the 12-24 I suspect?
cheers

Kevin,
Always superb!!!!!!!!!

[moggy]

Great pics, the arena style theatre overlooking the water reminds me of one in Cornwall that I visited once.

Kevin - great pics but can you name all of the people in #1.

Moggy - been to the same theatre in Cornwall back in the ’60’s

[mudder]

Looks like a maxi-meet with that crew Love the one of the columns reaching into the sky, great angle, good contrast and color saturation too, very imposing...

[moggy]

Moggy - been to the same theatre in Cornwall back in the ’60’s

That would be the Minack Theater on the cliff top at Porthcurno, I was there in the 60's as well.

Kevin
Brilliant pics! Great to see the Northern chapter grow in strength and get out and about. You guys must look a little scary when you're out "on patrol".

[Slider]

Great shots Kevin. The pillars is my pick.

[Manta]

Okay…

Finally got around to sorting out a few images from the 80 or so I took on the day. Many of my subjects have already been posted either here or in similar threads, and my fellow travellers have done a far better job of the captures than I could, so I won’t bore you with repeats. I do, however, have a shot of the waterhole that is similar to others…

It was certainly a great day for varied photographic opportunities thought the predominantly harsh light played havoc with exposures – as many of us found out the hard way.

Here are a few of mine:

Mitedo....

Beautiful pics. Were they taken with a D70? What lens?

Paul

[mitedo]

Thanks NikonUser shots are with 12-24 nikon &10.5 fisheye & D2X

Nice shots Manta

[NikonUser]

Hmmm.... how could I tell they were from a D2X?

You're not making my NAS go away you know!

Paul

[kinetic]

Hey Mitedo, Great shots - I really like the columns/sky shot - very nice. Also good to see a group mugshot and put some names to faces.

Manta - that water looks soooooooo cool and refreshing - did you all resist the urge to swim? I really like your palm frond shot also, very, um, running out of adjectives here.... rainforesty? Oh gawd, I give up. Great shots!

[DionM]

Kevin,

Love the yellow flowers and columns shot. Spot on framing on the columns shot.

Manta,

Really liked the Lunch Stop and Palm fronds shots!

[Manta]

Thanks Kinetic - I wanted to have a swim (and I reckon I wasn't the only one) but we were already too short on time. Next time...

I wasn't looking for the palm shot but spotted it when I was off the track while looking for snakes and spiders. No snakes but a few nice spiders!

Thanks Dion - pity you couldn't make it. I'm sure you would have some stunning shots to show for it.

[blacknstormy]

Wicked shots Manta - wish we could have made it to the beach- but we had a ball just the same

Forgot one.

[Zeeke]

Geez.. and i didnt crack the 200mm macro.. some top images there Slider

[big pix]

good selection of pix's ......... shows a great day........

[Big Red]

lucky buggers !!
i am so sick of being on call

[stubbsy]

I'd say you all had a top day and a good rollup. The standout shots from Kevin's are #4 of the old buildings, #7 (an inspired composition Kevin with the warm colours and strong lines of the columns against the cool tones and soft clouds of the sky), and the last shot of the amphitheatre. Of Simon's #2 (the less than majestic looking Majestic with a lone dove!) and #3 do it for me.

[Manta]

Thanks for your comments Peter - we'll have to get you up here for the next one.

[stubbsy]

Thanks for your comments Peter - we'll have to get you up here for the next one.

The way airfares Newcastle to Brissy are these days that's always a possibility. Haven't been to BrisVegas since I was a kid (we're talking late 60's)

Manta,
He doesn't have a passport as yet! need a signed consent form from a guardian

[Manta]

Maybe we can get him through on compassionate grounds...

[mitedo]

You will also have a place to stay up a noosa Peter if you like

[stubbsy]

Thanks Kevin. You Qld people sound just as generous as the Sydney people - I wonder if there's a common connection

[big pix]

peter ...... the Gold Coast is much cooler.......... maybe the next SEQ meet should be on the coast, but after the holidays, so people can stay, cheaper accommodation, maybe a 2 day meet, get a few up from down south, and finish with a workshop and bbq......... maybe a few wines....... thoughts on this please people.........

[Manta]

I am absolutely there BP.

[xerubus]

i will definitely make myself available for the next meet.... even if it's at longreach

[stubbsy]

My hectic social life notwithstanding, I'd love to come up & meet you guys sometime. I'm sure other Southerners would also be interested. Of course you'll have to turn on some not too hot weather for us
