What: CNE Evening Night Shoot $5 after 5pm
Where: Canadian National Exhibition
When: Wednesday August 29th 2012
Bring: Yourself, camera, bits, money, stuff, you know ....
Cost: $5 to get in ... the rest is up to you.
Additional Info: Tripods are ok.

Last night's meetup at the EX was well attended, and as promised, I said we would do another one next week. So here you go... another fabulous opportunity to hang out with your TPMG buddies and eat some really bad (for you health wise) food at the food building, and then while you are digesting the artery clogging culinary choice you made, we will shoot the sunset, and night lights of the midway. I shot a number of video clips with my D800 ... so I am shooting more footage with that intent, so that I can put together another short film - a followup to my original "CNE In Lights" short that I made a few years ago.

So... I am going to change the meeting location -- this time we are going to meet at the CNE between the food building and the Horse Palace! This is where the GO Train entrance/exit is -- We will meet in front of the horse palace which is on the east side of that roadway. 5:30pm this time, to give folks a chance to get there for after 5pm when the admission will be a whopping 5 bucks.

See you there!

Again, I will be late - probably around 7:30-8:00 pm, depending on the TTC.

Just remember if u are planning to come from union station the 509 harbor front street car is out of service and it's shuttle buses, which are slow. Your better off taking one of the alternative routes - like Bathurst station and the 511 street car.

Can't make it now....
the Director called for an important meeting on Wednesday night :(

Since I'm in town for the weekend (my nephew's baptism on Sunday) I'll try to make it out there on the Saturday or the Monday.

Any suggestions for best places to shoot would be appreciated since it's my first time...

If you are there on the long weekend, you will be able to watch and shoot the air show.

looking like we'll have a smaller crowd -- which is just fine with me. Jeniffer - the midway is great, the skyway ride starts at the bottom of the BMO field, and looking east you can see the CN tower in the background -- so that's a good place to take a pic. I am planning to ride it on Wednesday night.

Anywhere in the midway is good for night light shots.

Thanks to all who showed up .... and to those who got separated from us during dinner at the Food Building .... I am not sure what happened, but we went to the west outside of the building, found a picnic table, and waited for you until 7pm. Sorry that we parted ways....

Anyhow, it was a good night... and always good company, thanks Ben and Pam for sticking with me, and nice to see you Janet too!


David

Thanks Pam.... I shot a lot of hand held stuff last night, as well as trying to use the monopod as a semi-stedicam

I think my second night turned out better, except for all those people on rides getting in my shots:

And again, user error -- went to check my cable release and found the shutter already locked open :O

... Ended up with a good shot anyway.
