Toronto Photography Meetup Group

Details:A shoot out at the zoo.

What: Fun at the Toronto Zoo
When: Sun Jan 31, 2010
Time: 1PM
Where: Inside the entrance by the gift shop.
Bring: cameras, lenses, and $$ for the admission or no $$ if you have an annual pass or something.

if anyone is coming...by any chance...are you allergic to peanuts or nuts or coconuts

Doh, I wish I could make this shoot! I have a year pass, and often will go to the zoo at lunchtimes to take shots. Anyone else ever free for lunch walks?

i also have a year pass so i do go every now and then but can only make it on the weekends. if i live close to the zoo i think i'll go everyday

Lol, same. I'm only a 15 minute drive, and my schedule si somewhat flexible... so every now and then I'll go to blow off steam. When I go on weekends, my kids come too, so taking pics is a lot harder.

it's actually better to go on the weekdays when there's hardly any people around and you can do whatever you want...like crawling on the ground or climbing over the fence where no one's looking

I also find the animals are out more, and you can get in closer at feeding times. Let me know, so long as I have 1-2 days notice, I'm always game for a weekday trip.

ok...will let you know.

Yo do realize that the Zoo is 5 minutes down the road from Sundays social right?

Just thought I'd point that out to show it's not that far

who cares~~~

hey~~~does this mean you guys are all maybe and i'm the only one going hmmm~~~i don't wanna eat all the coconut candies and nuts and all the other goodies

I guess it is a big commitment to say yes given this cold weather..

Too cold and too far. AND TOO LAZY. LOL

oh it's not that cold or that far...you're just too lazy

Anybody else????

I almost left without knowing this.

It was nice to see you all. piglet, thank you for organizing this event. And finally, I'm sorry to be late.

Piglet, It was a great day at the zoo Thanks for setting it up and for the yummy treats too!

Asyncmp, you were only a few minutes late! No worries

Thanks, Piglet, for arranging the event and for the yummy goodies!
Nice bunch, nice day!

thanks for coming out, guys~~~

don't worry, asyncmp, we'll wait for you~~~

it was a great day. i had a blast food at jack astor's was good...yum yum

Thank you all for being tolerant. Being late for 15 mins is a big deal in Japan. Railroad companies there issue "late certificates" for delay of 10 minutes or more.

Here are some pic from today. The first one is the outcome of today's panning practice.

very nice panning shot and you got a pic of the owl too

You have nice macro shots. I will bring a macro lens next time.

Thanks for organizing Sue. Was good too see you again and meet Sushant, Pebbz and Asyncmp. I'll post a few soon. I'm undecided on how to PP some shots.


Randy

it's nice seeing you too...take your time...
