Stupid weather, doesn't look like it's going to let up

no luck getting a day off

Randy

Looks like I am going to make it to my first ever event, hope other noobs are coming despite the weather!

My cold has gotten the best of me. Have fun guys!

Ya, I've got one too... but I am still going to be there! Cold Fx and all.

can't make it, but looking forward to the aftermath posts and seeing your pictures!

As always thank you very much to David for organizing. Great to see alot of people out tonight. It's great the weather turned in our favor.

Thanks David for organizing. it was fun.

Thanks David for organizing. It was a great night.

I saw the clip on The Weather Network of the group shooting. As I thought he was shooting me, and then he panned around.

I didn't have the greatest night:

- had to work a little late, so had to rush downtown to get there
- was hoping to get some Photo-Flo from Henry's, but they were closed
- was still late, and then had a hard time finding the group
- didn't end up being very inspired most of the evening. Maybe it was just being distracted from carrying two bodies and a stick that can't stand up on its own
- forgot to set the ISO on the second roll of film. No wonder the shutter speeds were getting long. Shot a third of the roll before I realised what was wrong
- Dinner was.... actually dinner was fine
- 20minute drive home took an hour -- accident on DVP. A "might as well turn off the engine" level of stoppage

Not that it was all bad. After I got settled down to shoot I did enjoy myself.

Thanks for organising Dave

The ultimate highlight was getting that pocket full of change....

thanks david for organizing. it was great to meet everybody and i look forward to seeing you all more often in the near future. sorry that i couldn't stay longer at the pub.

i'll throw some more of my pictures up tomorrow, but i especially like this one: a bentley continental!



(yeah, i was too lazy to use my tripod today haha. )

It was a pretty fun night, got a couple of shots which I was very impressed of.

Thanks David for organizing this event!

Hi guys, after talking to one of you, when you were at the old city hall taking some photos. now I am the newest member of this group.

I was taking photos that night too, but of the new city hall.

Was my first time out and I really had a good time. Weather held up for the most part so that's cool. And its good to know I may have been on TV.

My shots were disappointing, but that's really because I didn't take my time and play with settings.

I look forward to doing another one. Anyone going to Church on Halloween, I may see you there if only for a few hours (I have to work that night).

Dave thanks for Organizing. Good to meet those that attended.

It was a good night out. Even though I was the only 4/3s user. Thanks for organizing it.

I'm sure no one is interested in these:

Nikon F80, 28mm @400ISO pushed 2 stops (excuse the dust)

The digital didn't turn out quite as well, most likely because it was taken a whole stop slower. Overall, I think that the F80 just meters better.

There's still a roll in the camera, so I should have a couple more in the set next week:

Was that a spotlight at the top of the building producing the flaring?

Spotlight: Yes.
Lens flare: erm... the lens

That would have been with the (cheap!) 50mm f/1.8.

Thanks for setting this up David, hope the cold has gone away. Thanks for the reminder about the zoom technique.

Pam I love the how the letters OC came out on your zoom pull shot.

Thanks

+1 on the OC. How fast do you need to run if you do this with a prime lens?
