Any Melbourne APUG members?

Great, see you there. I'll be the one with the little camera. Graeme will be the one with the big camera.

Graeme Hird · Dec 30, 2004

Kevin,

Yep, I'll be there bright and early. "f22 & be there twenty minutes early" is the rule for us LFers.

Oh, and David's tools are bigger than mine .....

Parking near the Tan is free all day Sunday, by the way.

Kevin Caulfield · Dec 31, 2004

Graeme,
Cool, so David will be the one with the big camera, and you'll be the one with the pink carnation and the Tashihara.
Thanks for the parking tip - I thought it should be free on Sunday but wasn't sure, and I was even going to head over there for a reconnoitre, so thanks for saving me the trip.

Where's Nige hiding?

Glenn Mathison · Dec 31, 2004

Guys, I'm sorry to say I won't be there after all. I've reconsidered and with my forthcoming trip to NYC next weekend for 10 days, I feel I should hang out here with the boys and my wife. 3 days away for just a few hours with you all ended up being a little more than I thought I should ask of the family.

On the other hand, if Roteague is really coming in October, I'd rather plan for a week in Melbourne with my family in tow, then it works much better for me. (or you could all come to Sydney )

Anyway, I hope you have a blast, and I'll just have to bide my time until I can see LF gear in the flesh.

I look forward to seeing some great images from you all.

Glenn

Nige · Dec 31, 2004

I'm on for the early start... just gotta get out of bed! Won't be staying the whole day and will probably bring a smaller camera as my backpack ain't quite finished.

Kevin Caulfield · Jan 2, 2005

Well, Graeme, Nige, David and I turned up, and we were all there at sunrise. A great day was had by all. We got to see David using his 8 x 20 (!!!) camera, while Graeme used 5 x 4 and Nige and I stuck with MF. From the Yarra River start, we ventured to city laneways, the steps of Parliament, Southbank, the Exhibition Centre and Spencer St Station redevelopment. My feet are a bit sore, but I can't wait to see some of the photos.

Glenn Mathison · Jan 2, 2005

Glad to see you guys had a fun day. Sorry I couldn't make it this time. I look forward to seeing some of the images too!

Glenn

Nige · Jan 3, 2005

glad mine weren't the only sore feet.. I thought my shoes were comfy!

twas a good day!

Glenn Mathison · Jan 21, 2005

What did I miss?

Any images anyone wants to share?

Glenn.

David · Jan 22, 2005

I've moved and am building a new darkroom Tuesday. Should have some prints within a week. Cheers, David

Graeme Hird · Jan 22, 2005

I've scanned my trannies today but haven't had time to post them yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Graeme Hird · Jan 24, 2005

My 6 favourites from the day are now in my Member's Gallery.

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

They all have the date "Mon Jan 24, 2005".

Cheers,

Glenn Mathison · Jan 27, 2005

Nice work Graeme

Thanks for the posts, I particularly liked the Jeff's shed and Observatory entrance images. And the little eye-catcher in the bottom of the laneway

Hope to make it if there is another down that way later in the year.

Regards
Glenn

Graeme Hird · Jan 27, 2005

Thanks for the compliments Glenn. I'm hoping to see some work from the others who attended soon - they must be busy ....

I'm not likely to get back to Melbourne for a couple of years but I'll try hard if there is another outing planned.

Hmmm, if we all came to Kalgoorlie, would you shout the first round????

Graeme Hird · Jan 27, 2005

Absolutely - for the first twenty APUGgers .... the rest of the bludgers can go buy their own!

Nige · Jan 27, 2005

I'm working on posting something...

BTW, I must have blinked when you took the Melb Skyline one! Probably get my roll of colour processed tomorrow.

Edit : Added a couple to my personal gallery page.

Graeme Hird · Jan 27, 2005

Yep, the sun poked through briefly - I nearly missed it myself! Surely you noticed the mad scurry when both Kevin and I stopped talking to you mid-sentence?

roteague · Feb 1, 2005

Ok guys, I may have missed your outing , but I didn't forget the pictures (although not taken in Melbourne). In the gallery I have posted an image from my recent trip to Australia. This image is title "Bass Strait Dawn" and was taken at Apollo Bay. I hope you like it: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

David · Feb 1, 2005

I haven't forgotten about posting either ,but -(suprise) things take longer than expected. I just finished hanging the plasterboard yesterday. A bit more time before real work happens inside the room.

I do. Great image Robert. Patience is obviously a virtue of yours

Thanks Glenn. I find I generally only have patience when the weather looks promising.

Since you are in Sydney, perhaps you can tell me if you know the spot where this photo was taken? Dead Link Removed. This picture just stops me everytime I see it.

Glenn Mathison · Feb 3, 2005

Looks like it might be from Bradleys head from the angle. But the field of view is wrong. My guess is a boat in the harbour. Great shot though.
