Is there a time/location/route?

I'll probably be photographing in town tommorow teaching a mate a few things about his 400D and wouldn't mind meeting up either at 6PM or en route...

That's right. It's still 20/Oct at 6pm. Starting at Lights Vision for shots of the city and hills, then heading down to Pinky Flat (War Memorial Drive, opp Convention Centre). From there maybe walking up to Adelaide Bridge for shots of the new fountain and St Peters Cathedral. But it's up to people's interest on the night.

So I think so far we have: Rookie2, Aussichef, BigV, Dreams, xorl, tyrone_tong, Stargazer
and maybe: Fozzie, Ronza

For all of the Adelaide people, the Australian Taekwondo Championships are on at the Superdome this weekend.

There are Patterns and self Defence comps Friday and Saturday, with the Fighting on Sunday.

I'm coming down with some of my fighters, so hopefully some great wins and some great shots....

If you're really looking to hone your reaction skills come along and take a few shots.....

Did you know that the Superdome was designed so that they do not need to use lights during the day.. Good luck with your comp..

Hi, I'd like to come along as well if luck* is on my side.

*luck = my sister returning from her holiday with all my camera gear.

I went to one of the mini-meets down at the Port with Matt, Fozzie and BBJ back a few months ago, and have been meaning to get more involved here.

stadl - I can more than likely make the Meet now. If so, and your sister has not returned from holidays with your camera equipment, you can borrow my D70 and a suitable lens for the evening. BTW: haven't seen Matt (psionic) on-line for awhile, is he okay :?:

Hi Ady,
I'm not actually attending but it's usually the more, the better. It's very much open and fun and you learn heaps. It's great to see more Adelaide people on the forum wanting to join in.

Ady, you're welcome to bring along others. I think we're going to have the largest turnout ever.

Likely starters are: Rookie2, Aussichef, BigV, Dreams, xorl, tyrone_tong, Stargazer, NewAperture, Ady
and maybe: Fozzie, Ronza, stadl, jwsmith
and no sparklers on wheels for Nat.

Thanks fozzie, I might take you up on that - I spoke to her this evening and it appears she won't be back until Saturday 21st.

Matt is doing well - I caught up with him on the weekend and he has been pretty busy with work of late. he could ask to be demoted back to his old job, but I think he likes his office :wink: .

Hi guys! change my status to "maybe" (but not in a wheelchair! - ha,ha). Although its been less than 2 weeks since the op, all seems to be progressing really well. I've hardly needed the crutches in the last couple of days so, fingers crossed, I'll be mobile enough to join in for a short time at least. I'll keep you posted. That said, if we can source a wheelchair, I'll bring some sparklers and maybe BigV will take a ride down Montefiore Hill for us :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Guys,

Just wondering, do you guys have time to teach things?

I'm new to photography and own a Konica Minolta 5D Dynax. I'd like to learn to use it properly.

Also saving for some lenses and what not.

It'd be good if there was another Konica Minolta user, but it seems like you're all Canon / Nikon users.

Hi Katatonic,
It doesn't matter if you use a different camera, many of the basics will be the same (if you are new to photography as well). There are a few experienced photographers in the group and they are generally happy to help out and give some pointers. It really is great to go out with others and see how they see things and how they set up their gear.
Cheers,
Lee

Unfortunately that wasn't me.

Thanks for the reassurance, I'm basicallly a complete beginner to Photography but I want to get into it seriously.

Like everyone else, I too have to start somewhere :)

Let me know when the next meet is, I'll be there.

We've all been there.

Start by shooting, and posting some of the results. Understand that when we're critiquing, we're going to be honest, but we're not being personal.

Hopefully, you will understand that we're trying to help you improve your images, and that is the only goal when we offer such a critique.

Coming to one of the minimeets is a great way to learn too, and with digital, the process is accelerated significantly because you can chimp your results, adjust, and reshoot.

Enjoy

Hey,

Not a problem, I can understand the feedback and I only want to improve.

I'm just saving my pennies for a Lowepro Reporter bag and lenses now.

I missed a few bargains off eBay for 300mm ones :(
