MELBOURNE September APUG outing!

[SMBooth]

Not Saturday for me, daughters birthday. But i see the problem with going on Sunday, need to take the big telephoto lens...

 

[OldBikerPete]

I can be there Saturday. I think I might try to be at point Gellibrand on the Thursday, too.

Retirement is an excellent career choice!

I think I might try to be at point Gellibrand on the Thursday, too.

I might take off a day on the Thursday as well. Probably see you at Point Gellibrand. Hope 300mm for 6x7 will be sufficient to get some good shots.

BTW: an hour ago we saw three dolphins at Ferguson Street pier in Williamstown. Just a few meters away from us. Amazing.

Can't make Saturday - but might still go down on Sunday..

 

[Joachim_I]

Sorry for the confusion with the dates. The confusion started because this website states that the festival runs until Sunday, 15 September, while the detailed program on this website shows that the festival already ends on Saturday, 14 September.

Therefore, I propose we now meet on

Saturday, 14 September, at 8am​

at the entrance of Seaworks (82 Nelson Place) in Williamstown for the Tall Ship Festival.

Confirmed participants for far:

im Sunday only, even then a sleep in will be more tempting than taking photos, thanks to work..

The boss has granted me a day-pass. Must be back at a "reasonable" hour, else all privileges will be suspended indefinitely.

Don't I know what this is like. It's hard when the Boss is also the Minister of Finances and you don't quite have enough of your own pocket money.

Hi guys, can't make Saturday unfortunately. I don't finish up at work until 23rd September, but had taken 14th and 15th off so that I could make it for the Sunday. Sorry.

 

[raoul]

Maybe an alternative outing to Willie on Sunday?

 

[Joachim_I]

Just a short reminder... coming up this weekend.

 

[LJH]

Can't make it on Saturday - sporting commitments. Hope you get some good light!!

 

[Yamaotoko]

G'day all, I was planning on coming, chatted with Shane about it on Saturday too, but just say the date change, so I won't be able to after all, I'm working Saturday Anyone interested in making a secondary outing on Sunday?

 

[mrsmiggins]

Sunday is a possibility. Madame is miffed she can't make the Saturday visit.

[munz6869]

So... who's interested in Saturday (tall ships still there if we're nice and early), and who can do Sunday (just the sights of Williamstown incl. that giant Navy ship)?

I can do either, but probably not both...

Marc!

 

[OldBikerPete]

I'm planning on Saturday 8AM as (re)planned.

 

[mrsmiggins]

Saturday is still good for me. Hoping to be there in time for a sunrise. Sunday is a possibility for a return trip.

 

[munz6869]

Righto, I'll load up some film holders and drag me and Christine across the bridge for (shudder) 8am Saturday....

Marc!

 

[raoul]

I may be up for a Sunday meet in the area.. Maybe something more industrial?

Sunday is now looking a lot better for me than Saturday, so I would be keen, Raoul. Anybody else for Sunday? Ideas for a meeting place and time? Let's still aim for about 8 am.

 

[Kevin Caulfield]

So, JamesR, SteveR, wyno, Raoul, are you still thinking about a Sunday meet?

I'll probably just be going to the camera market,and need to get some 120 film sleeves.
Not sure what else.
