Good to see some regulars committing - hopefully a few newcomers will also come forth.

[NikonNellie]

I can't make this now - I have a gig on for the band I am in plus we are out to celebrate Jason's Birthday later in the day. :(

[Danielle10]

You're in a band Nellie? Cool

[NikonNellie]

You're in a band Nellie? Cool

I am in a "Concert Band" Danielle not a rock band.......not too cool. I play the clarinet. The gig is at a Retirement Village. :D

[mechawombat]

Oh man I had this image of Nellie in full KISS makeup with a flaming guitar HAHAHAHHAH


if it is Dawn I should be able to make it.

[NikonNellie]

Ha Ha! :D Maybe in my youth......although I was never a big KISS fan but I did admire their makeup.:music05: Mind you, our Concert band doesn't only play classical. occasionally we get into some of the rock music.

[NikonNellie]

Well after band rehearsal tonight I am happy to say that I can now attend this shoot AGAIN. Apparently the oldies are going out on a "pub crawl" and asked if our band could come at a later date which is now 1st December. :efelant:

[peterb666]

Hopefully I'll be able to take away heaps of info to help me improve!!:) I look forward to the next meet!

[Pup]

Thats no good ktoopi but up side is, its still photography enjoy your trip. I have my finger crossed that I can get there would like to start at sunrise but that means I need to leave home about 3am......lol

[judybee]

Hi everyone,
I mentioned to a couple of you that we are going to the Hunter Valley on the 3rd. Just found out we will be leaving at 8 in the morning, so I won't be able to make sculptures.:(
Hope you all have a wonderful meet and get loads of great images. Looking forwad to seeing them.

[peterb666]

Hi guys, for those that can make it for the sunrise meet, I would suggest a 5am start at Marks Park. A convenient meeting point will be the amenities block near the corner of Marks Lane and Kenneth Street. Marks Park is about half-way between Bondi and Tamarama.

[AmPhot]

Sounds good Peter, count me in. :)
Location Peter is talking about on Google maps : http://goo.gl/maps/FbnmS

Question..

Will I need change for parking meters??

[peterb666]

Question..

Will I need change for parking meters??

There are parking meters at Bondi but not Tamarama. From memory, they take credit cards. They have put parking restrictions, generally 1 or 2 hour around Tamarama starting at 8am. If you don't mind walking a bit, you should be able to find free parking. Annoyingly, they have closed off some streets and made others one-way this year.

[AmPhot]

If we're shooting sunrise then there's normally a few spaces available along Pacific Ave at Tamrama beach. No meter just timed parking, and you should be long gone before you run out of time. ;) Just be early.

[Danielle10]

Sorry peoples I'm pulling out- have seen some photos from sculptures and it does nothing for me. I sound spoilt I know. Thinking of heading out somewhere for dawn on Saturday instead.

[mechawombat]

well I will set my alarm and see how I go. Might drag a fellow AP along as well. Just will chug on a Red Bull or 10 to awaken the senses AHHAHAHAHA:lol:

[AmPhot]

Alas I have to pull out of this meet as well, forgot that it's low tide this weekend and I want to shoot Long Reef. Have fun guys ! :)

[Danielle10]

Might see u at long reef - haven't been there yet

[AmPhot]

@Danielle - I'm meeting a few guys from the Focus group, great spot at low tide, reflections galore ! ;)

[Danielle10]

I saw the post thinking of catching up

[peterb666]

Hi guys, I have just returned from a little bit of travelling so haven't been able to post much into AP. It probably isn't that relevant to know who isn't coming ; and only a couple have posted any intention of making this meet. It might be nice to see some new faces - we often get posts asking when the next meet will occur but for some reason, those that ask rarely come.

Anyway, for those that intend to come, please confirm.

Cheers

Peter

[NikonNellie]

I was just about to post a similar message Pete but you have beat me to it.

I am definetly coming unless something unforseen happens in the mean time. Jason may turn up as well but I doubt it. :D

Ness - if you are going, do you want to go in together?

Paul - can you bring that old camera you saved for me. I have a family shoot on the Sunday and I might be able to use it as a prop? TIA

[mechawombat]

I will be there if I get up early enough

[raccoon]

Yep i will be there.. Narelle i will bring the props

[sunset]

Hi guys. I'm still debating this one. Narelle - I'll call you later :)

[NikonNellie]

Ness is not coming at this stage.

[mechawombat]

I am out I just finished work and I am sick as a dog Have fun guys
