Toronto Photography Meetup Group

Details:

What: Holland Marsh Drive II
When: Saturday. September 17, 2011
Time: 10AM
Where: My House. Approx 2 minutes from intersection of Highway 9 at Highway 400. Exact address will be PM'd closer to the date. From there we'll do a drive.
Bring: Camera, Tripod, an interest in Tractors.
Food: Pondering La Mexicanada in Bradford, but need to confirm hours of operation. This place has real Mexican food (not Tex-Mex).

Following up on the success of the first attempt at this event (see http://tpmg.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17943), we are at it again.

Exact date to be confirmed. I'm listening for suggestions on the date.

Definitely interested, but it does depend on the date chosen.

Well what does (doesn't) work for you?

Anything but the last weekend of September works for me.

At this point, the only Saturday in September that I am free is Sept. 17.

mmm. sounds interesting i always wanted to get there for a day to shoot!

away to italy Sept 24, but if this works out before that date, would be in. i have a car, can take three if all are willing to split the gas four ways! might be a good day to finally take the new Fuji x100 out of the box!

How about we go for Sept 17. Harvesting should be going good.

Now I'm not impressed. I've been thrown a mandatory commitment on September 17, so this day won't fly. How about a Sunday instead?

The 18th would work for me.

The 18th works for me.

i think it will work for me too!

Except now I realize the camera show is on the 18th... oh bother... other ideas?

Skip the camera show do the event. Save some money.

well if your going to post an event, be somewhat committed!

Is the first weekend of October too late?

+1

Ok, sep 18. Confirmed.

Don't forget to add it to the calendar listing! Thanks!

Ok, so here's the scenario. My friend, who's housewarming party I was supposed to go to saturday afternoon... Well he bbm'd me yesterday to say he cancelled it. I made it a point to lynch him.

My parents called me at work today, mentioning they have to drive to London on Sunday to deal with a farm issue (picking up a replacement migrant worker), so we won't be harvesting on sunday. Couple that with the fact that a majority of the farmers (my family in the minority) that won't work sundays.

And so you see the dilemma. Move the event (back) to saturday, or leave it sunday? If we leave it on sunday, I can't promse many action shots, like harvesting or tractors driving in fields etc.

Or postpone to mid late october.

Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

Weather is not a factor. Both Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be sunny with Sunday being slightly warmer.

I can drive a tractor, if that helps.

I'm ok either way.

Will there be harvesting on the Saturday if it is moved to then?

It sounds like not my family specifically, but I recall others have started. Can do shots from street.

Sunday wasn't great for me anyway. I would prefer to go this Saturday to get some working farmer shots. I'm in China in October.

What is the verdict on this SATURDAY or SUNDAY

We need to know to make plans for this.

Is it Saturday or Sunday?

Can I please hitch for a ride? I live at Yonge and Finch and I can go to another subway station to meetup

After a long friday where almost everything went wrong for me...

We are a go for saturday.[/b]

That's great Chris - looks like it will be much nicer weather than in the spring. Most probably know where you are exactly, but I will need your details. Please PM me. Thanks

Sorry I can't make it - have a BBQ on Saturday. Have fun you guys!

That was a very pleasant day of relaxed shooting - thanks for hosting, and the tour, Chris. The Mexican food was good too.
Now why is it that I'm still smelling onions?

Thanks for organizing and the great day. Mexican food was good and it was nice they had a choice of mild, medium and spicy to choose from.
