NJ APUG, including NY and PA

May........ June........ I'm still interested.
 
I have contacted the Delaware River Mill Society again to see which of the two dates will be the best for us to assemble and take photos. I want to be able to restrict parking in front of the Mill itself so we can get photos without the cars.

I will keep everyone updated on what they tell me and the date we will get together.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, 21 May beginning at 10 a.m. at the Prallsville Mills complex in Stockton, NJ. It is three miles north of Lambertville, NJ/New Hope, PA and approximately 10 miles north of I-95 and not too far from I-78, I-295, I-195, US 1, NJ 31, NJ 12, and just a mile from US 202. We will most likely be able to photograph inside the Mill as well as the outside of the Mill and the various other buildings in the complex. The Delaware River Mill Society will not be charging us for the use of the complex, but we should plan on making a donation. I will pass the hat during the day for that purpose.

If there is interest, we can have some presentations or informal instruction on the use of large format cameras. This event is open to all APUG members and all film formats. If you have always wanted to learn more about medium and large formats, now is the time.

I can also have one or two models present if anyone wants to do portraiture. Any photograpjher who wants to use a model, should we decide to have one or more present, will be responsible for a financial renumeration to the model. Models would only be present if there is a definite interest. No interest... no models.

I will come up with other ideas for the day as we get closer. I will post those ideas here in the forum. Any questions??? please ask. Thanks.

May / June meeting Prallsville

Count me in. My favorite landscape spot-that one I can't spell-Wickecheoke-is nearby !
 
Drat. I'll be in NYC that day at CFAAHP (Center For Antique And Historic Processes) taking Carl Weese's Platinum printing class. Oh well... if you run it again later in the summer or sometime in the fall (sounds like it might be a neat place for some foliage shots), let me know and I'll try to make it.
 
I'll put it in my calendar, and if I can make it, I'll try to come.
 
Me too, I am taking Carl's class as well

Scott:
Looking forward to taking that Platinum class as well.

I like that idea. I was hoping to learn more about large format even if only
through casual conversation and observation.

I should be able to attend.

David, I can give you a ride if you decided to go.

Thanks! Let's try to coordinate closer to the date.

If I do go, I can bring a spare 4x5" camera if someone wants to experiment. Bob Fowler and I did this at the Asbury Park event, and I think we got two converts (gr82bart and highpeak).
 
Sunday, 21 May beginning at 10 a.m. at the Prallsville Mills complex in Stockton, NJ.

That is a wonderful location. I've worked there a couple of times. The street side of the mill complex will be lit up nice that early in the morning. If you come back later in the afternoon the mill race and creek side will be in the sun. There is a railroad bridge with a small water fall and then the mill is behind the bridge. It looks nice. Or you can work with just the mill from the railroad bridge.

There are a number of nice little towns near there. North of the Mills a few miles is Frenchtown, and a few miles south is Lambertville. And don't forget to check out Stockton. It has a nice old Hotel at the main road in town (but again that is more of an afternoon shot).

You will also be only a couple of miles from NJ's only covered bridge in Seargentsville just northeast of Stockton.

Sorry I'll be on the road still that weekend or I'd try to get out there with you all.
 
There certainly is a lot to photograph in the area. The Mill can easily be an all day affair. Another day can be spent photographing within 3-4 miles of Stockton. And then... well, you get the idea. Lots to do.

The buildings of the Mill complex can easily be photographed from 360 degrees; all of them. They are from late 18th to early 20th Century. Bring a lot of film.

Yes, Sunday, the 21st. YThe Mill has events every Saturday in May and most of June.

Hi David,

Can I take you up on that offer again? I will confirm closer to the date if I'm going that day, but if so, I'd like to do nothing but 4x5! I'll probably go the day before and stay in a nearby hotel.

Regards, Art.
 
Yes, definitely! And please, bring the spare 4x5. I will have at least one extra 4x5 with me too, in case anyone wants to try it. I haven't heard back from anyone commenting on my idea of setting up 2 or 3 short instructional seminars (possibly 30 minutes each) and using the inside of the Mill for this.

The more, the merrier...

Sure you did I said I liked the idea back on page 4 of this thread. If you have the seminars, count me in!

Sounds like you're going to have a good get together. I'm sorry I have to miss this one but annual commitments force me to be 1,500 miles away. I will be wishing I was with you.
Good shooting,
 
JJC, that's correct. You did comment on that idea. I can do an introductory presentation for newbies, unless someone else wants to. If anyone wants to do presentations on other LF topics, just let me know. We can spread them throughout the morning hours so everyone has the most flexibility in what they choose to do.

Bruce, sorry to hear you won't be around. There will be others.

James
 
Oops... In the above post, when responding to Bruce, I said "There will be others." I see now that could be taken the wrong way. What I mean is that there will be other get togethers. I hope I clarified this enough so there is no offense taken.

James
 

LOL, I did take a step back when I read that line but realized what you meant. Just be a little careful opening any mysterious emails, I think I was able to retrieve them.
 
James, I am planning to enter into the LF world and currently stocking up my equipment. Being in New York, I would like to join the event on May 21st ... learn and try. Can you count me in as well?

I definitely will. Everyone is welcome. I anticipate having a few presentations during the day, do you may be able to pick up some useful information. See you on the 21st then.
