March 2018 Photomeet/Sausagefest
 

Putting it out there that we should organize a photo-meet on one of these weekends in March. It seems its getting warmer out, and hopefully can have some good weather! Just throwing it out there, and was going to put it out there and some different idea's for a meet that we would all enjoy?

I would like to do a landscape/composition/exposure techniques Photomeet?

Last one I was at was in Gastown doing street photography and it was great! And I thought it would be cool to actually teach some techniques that people might not really know? Whatcha think?

Let's hear what other people would like, and when?

Edit: Boys and girls are both invited!.. dogs too!

Cheers!

So.. anyone wana shoot n'stuff?

I would be in but I'm out of town until after Easter.

I'm in if it's for next month. Too busy this month with work and kid being on spring break.

No worries we can make it next month I'm happy to do that. Just trying to setup something fun and get outside!

Ernie...you plan this one lol...I'm down if schedule works out

Any proposal on location though?

It's Spring and I guess something outdoorsy-rural is a good idea.

Anyone has a nice spot to cover sunset/landscape? Of course if everyone prefer to stay in the city, I'm cool with that too.

We could do something like Lighthouse Park, Stanley Park (using rock's for fore ground composition), somewhere with cherry blossom madness, Jericho Beach area.

I could do a bit of a presentation on composition on my laptop at a cafe first, and then we can go in the field and shoot. Just an idea :)

Are we still going to do a photowalk? I'm down if so!

Where?

Was this today? Would be down for a photos.

sounds good. lets plan something. I got a new camera that wants to shoot pew pew pew

was hoping to shoot some blossoms but this downpour hasn't let up when I'm not working
rather be in a blizzard right now tbh

Quarry rock anyone for this month?

Lets go Hehe, pick and date and lets do it!

Us trying to organize photowalks...

^
Sounds about right.

PM'd you my number... text me and we can arrange something.

For anyone else who wants to join, please leave a msg here or PM me.

We can create a Whatsapp group or something to make the arrangement quicker.

I hope to make the next one!

So, Hehe and myself have been brain storming idea's that we can do for the next meat!

Date: Saturday May 5, 2018

Choice 1: Bikes and camera's at Stanley Park, meet around 5pm or so and we can bike around the park to some different spots and learn some landscape composition. I have some lee filters and nisi stuff also that i don't mind sharing. If people have a tripod and/or filters also that would be amazing.

Choice 2: Astro photography. Meet at 7pm somewhere around town and drive upto Porteau Cove and learn to take some "astro" photography. Will be a late night of course because driving, shooting and then driving back.

What does everyone think? What one would people prefer?

I vote for choice 2. :D

Ernie will start a new thread later on. Let's go out for some shooting!

Can astro photography include pics of my car? :badpokerface:

I don't see why not if the parking spot can get enough view to the sky.

No one wants to join?

Hahaha... I think I'm going out to shoot something this weekend either way.

Anyone else wanna go? I'd be in my Mini... so if someone wants to catch a ride between South Surrey and wherever we are heading, I don't mind picking you up.

what day are you thinking? I've been to Porteau Cove so many times I really don't want to go there lol

Moonrise on Saturday is at 1:07am
