Equipment Tripod, Camera with adjustable ISO, aperture and exposure (or bulb mode). If you have a remote bring it along, if not a pair of black gloves or a sheet of black fabric will do.

Additional:

Dress appropriately for night time temperatures. Read your camera manual so that you understand how to adjust ISO, aperture and shutter for your particular camera (it should be in the section in using your camera in manual mode.

People that are no longer considered beginners are welcome to come along for a refresher and/or for the shooting part.

Thanks for all your hard work

I might come during the information and such if that's cool.
I'll definitely be up for shooting though!

And then I looked at my calendar...
I apologize, I can't actually make it out at all.

It's about time to dig out the camera and take some nice pictures . Thanks Ryan for organizing this!

Why dont we set the location at distillery district. They just lit up all the christmas light friday, and having been there last year its totally worthwhile visiting. Ill be totally down for street shoot if we have the event there.

Because the distillery district has this group permit thing which they may or may not enforce, Downtown has plenty of lights plus some interesting street traffic

Ah, alright. Guess distillery district is only good for solo street shoot.

Any chance people will be out beyond 10pm?
If so, I'll come down to find some of y'all.

I have arranged a note from city hall to security just in case.

Sounds fun! It's been a while since I've done night photography Wish I could come but I have holiday drinking obligations to pursue (office xmas party)!

I may join you guys - it depends on work commitments - I won't know until last minute if I can make it. If I can make it I will meet you at the meeting location at 6:30. Regardless dress warm and have fun!!

Weather for Wednesday looks good around freezing but no rain or snow.

I'm not a beginner, but I think I'll be there...if only I can figure out where to register on this page.

I'm not sure what the organizer(s) has (have) in mind, but I was wondering if its likely I will need my really long lens. I have 2 long ones, a compact 300mm (35mm equivalent) & a 600mm. The bigger one is extra bulk & weight which I don't mind bringing, but if its not necessary, I'd prefer to travel lighter.
Thanks

It's up to the individual but generally for long exposures I like to use a normal to wide angle lens.

Thanks Ryan nice to meet some new and old members

Thanks for organizing!

You have to link them using the BB code -- click on the photo, then click on "Share" above your photo, then click Grab the HTML/BBCode, and make sure BB code is selected, and it will show text similar to this:

except that I screwed it up intentionally so the image wouldn't show here, and just reply with the BB code in your message, and viola! Your photo will appear on TPMG

Here is another example of linking a photo for you .... this one was taken in BCE place.
