Details:

What: CNE 2011 Night shoot
When: Wednesday August 31st 2011
Time: 6PM...ish.
Where: CNE Go Train Station
Bring: camera, tripod, etc.

Copying and pasting last week's event... I need to take the GO Train in from Mississauga after work. Maybe someone else can be there to muster the troops earlier...

The $5 after 5pm deal is still valid again this year... from Mondays to Thursday's with the exception of labour day. So that's wonderful... as we'll meetup shortly after 6pm just inside the Go Train Station at the CNE, and as usual -- head for the food building, get some dinner, and then shoot twilight as the sun goes down at the CNE. The past few years we have been doing this, and getting some great shots of the rides with motion blur effects. Bring your tripod - we have never had an issue with tripods. Some of the carnies don't like their pictures taken, but that's about it. Otherwise, its fair game.

Hey HW, why have you posted this as an Ad Hoc? Aren't you an official organizer now?

I ad hoc'd the event because of the chaos in me actually organizing this. I could official it, but with my sched that day it's chaos, and I can't commit to be at the meetup location on time.

In the details, you say the GO Station, 6pmish, but in the description, you say shortly after 5pm just inside the Prince's Gates. Which one is it?

Updated. Copy and paste error without totally reading it.

There's no way I can make it to the Princes Gates on time. I won't attempt to drive near the Ex, so the solution is Go Train for me.

I apologize for my errant post earlier. I have remembered that I do not know how to read a calendar.

I may jump in on this event but will not be there until after 6pm either.

I'm 80%sure I'll come, but 100% sure I'll be late, I'm babysitting until about 5:30, so I'll have to look for you guys afterwards. Still, I've never been to the CNE, so I really want to come :)

I will be at the Ex today, but I'm there for just shopping; I got my night shots in last week. If I see you guys there I'll see you.

Oh boy, I have to go to a meeting this afternoon in Aurora, then find a way to the Ex thereafter. Oh what fun. Should be there on time.

Here's what I was talking about when the newer Panasonic M43 sensor was a different size compared to the older ones:
http://www.hennek-homepage.de/video/GH1-sensor.jpg

Note that on the older G1 sensor all three image sizes are the same width, while on the GH1 they are different widths, maximizing the image circle and the sensor.

Probably one of the reasons why the 3D lens can only be used on newer Panasonic M43 cameras, and not on Olympus or older ones.

Literature says it's about f/13, but it was behaving about a stop smaller than that.
