I've been thinking about a large scale meet and greet for ages now....

We don't need to take photos, we could simply meet for lunch or something!

Ideas???

Thanks
Kane


OK OK OK - The the date/time/location is set!

Sorry for the delay, see below for meet details, please let me know if you're coming on not, share on FB if you wish.

Date: Sunday, April 3rd, 2010
Time: 12 noon
Location: Roma Park Lands
Meeting area: Cafe at the top

Link to map
http://maps.google.com.au/?ie=UTF8&l...00862&t=h&z=20

The idea with the meet is to provide a relaxing setting for us to sit and talk. Roma Street Park Lands does offer some interesting subjects to shoot (we can pose as models and do a model shoot, or we can photograph the ducks, lizards, flowers etc)

Because we're meeting around lunch we will have plenty of time to plan a possible Sunset shoot also.

Bring your own food/drinks etc

I created a FB event here, so we can share this with our friends
https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=208549815823360

Some of our friends may not have heard about AusTog, so get them to sign up!

I'm sorry if some people can't make the event -I am very time poor these days, and I'm busy almost every other weekend.

See you there!

Thanks
Kane

I'm happy for a meet without going somewhere taking photos...:(...Ok Ok Ok!!!! :D

Ivan would be glad about that one too.

It will be good to chin wag. Some people get to the meets and choof off to be somewhere but staying to get to know some newbies will be great.

Maybe....with cameras....take some candids and groups shots will be allowed...LOL :rolleyes: :p

Photographers without cameras inevitably means pub though doesn't it? :P

Kids sports is an issue here as well, Games don't start with Rians footy til the end of March, so as long as it's before then I'm still able to go.:th3:

Yep..it is. That's why we do it. Bring in the new members and their families so they feel more comfortable meet us regular members that know each other already. Good chance to break the ice.

Kane has just have to set the date/place/time.

Seems there will be a large turnout Kane. It might have to be where we can fit a lot of people. Maybe a park?

yummymummy
01-03-2011, 6:55am
Yeah a park would be better I think Jules.... at least for my lot! can't imagine trying to keep them cooped up for any longer than an hour :eek:

Jesse24
01-03-2011, 12:48pm
New Farm Park was nice last time, maybe something like that?

slo 057
01-03-2011, 4:41pm
sounds good, just depends on date, time and work for me..... Dam it work.
i like the sound of the park so i can bring Indy (my pup for them that missed the 4x4 meet)(im sure some one has a pic they will post from that meet) and i can bring the missus if she is free too.

Kuzzie
01-03-2011, 9:33pm
Just found this. I would also be in on a park meet, so I can bring my muttley along too. He can also assist by being a model for those that bring a camera (probably all of us LOL).

kadon
01-03-2011, 9:59pm
I'd be interested.... any thoughts yet when?? For me the 26th is out (celebrating my "D" with a party!! & christening my new patio area) But I too am bit on the shy side or is it that I feel inadequate amongst all you talented people???

yummymummy
01-03-2011, 10:46pm
Oh don't be shy, or feel inadequate! seriously, the QLD people are the most friendly bunch of people :)

41jas

02-03-2011, 3:36am
Yeah we'll look after you. :)

and what are you doing out of bed at this time of the morning :p hehe.. look out your window, we got a storm ! :D *happy dance*

41jas
02-03-2011, 7:48am
Yeah I heard the storm. I was up coughing and sneezing and blowing the snoz all night. Yesterday and still today I feel like crap.

yummymummy
02-03-2011, 8:00am
oh no :( I hope you feel better soon and it doesn't linger for you as it has done for me!!:( I'm still coughing, wheezing and stuff three and a half weeks after getting sick

AutumnCurl
02-03-2011, 8:35pm
yea i also have some sort of illness :( its kinda strange like im not getting any better but im not getting any more sick either, its just annoying:(

Storms here are crazy - i live in the cbd - very high up and and the lighting conductor is on the building next to me....when it hits its insane!

yummymummy
02-03-2011, 8:44pm
yes exactly!! Grrr they've pumped me full of all kinds of stuff and nothing seems to be working :-/ I hope yours clears up for you soon!
Oh awesome RE lightning rod! I'd LOVE to see that :D

Yeah, sounds good, I'm in, date and time permitting!

chamellieon
03-03-2011, 1:53pm
New Farm park is a good idea, but the parking is a nightmare...
Id suggest somewhere like Mt Cootha, or Rocks Riverside, or some large, unnamed park. But the convenience of a hotel is good for the "catered for" thing
(roma st and southbank are way too busy)

yummymummy
03-03-2011, 2:07pm
River Rocks Park went under in the floods, and last I heard they weren't reopening it for some time. What about Queens Park at Ipswich?

David
04-03-2011, 7:14pm
Hope Kane gets this one going in a Park somewhere soon: can't do any photography but I miss hanging out with my photography buddies: bring it on please.

13-03-2011, 5:29pm
Ok..... sooo lets pick a day and be done with it. :)

Sunday 27th 2pm cleveland grand view hotel is my suggestion. or the bearded dragon hotel at tamborine village. Either one we can go for a shoot after.

Once we decide can we add a date to the title of the thread as well ?

Cheers Neil

13-03-2011, 6:00pm
Hey Knumnuts - Sunday 27th there is already a "meet" as such - Kiwi is hosting a "Sporting Photography" afternoon
& I think quite a few of the people who have shown interest here are involved (I could be wrong too - guess we will see)

Cleveland is a good hours drive to the sports shoot, so to be there at 1.30 means finishing lunch at 12.30. Not enough time I think.

ATP
15-03-2011, 9:50am
I can't believe Sunday the 27th is really the only weekend day coming up that I can't do!! :(

If the date changes I'd love to come...I'll be a nervous newbie too...but everyone sounds like a really friendly bunch of people. :)

knumbnutz
15-03-2011, 10:41pm
Ok, soooo lets go to another date so we dont clash with KIWI.

10th April

Choose a venue by vote-
1. Cleveland at Grand View Hotel
2. Bearded Dragon at Tamborine Village (bottom of Mt Tamborine)

or does someone else have an idea ?
Cheers Neil

What about lunch at everton hotel prior to the sport shoot ? It's 10 minutes to the sport shoot and there's a fair crossover in members for both. Just a thought....they do a good meal and have a great playground for the kiddies.

There is a problem with that idea. If I wanted to bring my wife she would then have to spend the afternoon hanging around while I was shooting sport, not good.

10th April is looking good -I need to confirm tonight and make sure.

Lets look at start time

Locations
- Pub/hotel/etc

Please reply here in you are still keen, lets go with the 10th for now and I will confirm tonight after work.

The idea of the meet is to meet new people, we can take photos if we like. We could bring our own food to BBQ etc

I would have to assume that kids will be welcome (havent read through the entire post so havent seen stated otherwise) It is my sons 3rd birthday that day and given we have no family here in Queensland i've been at a real loss as to what to do for him. We've never been to this place before so might just be the place for him to have a 'special' day out. Finances pending...we will be there too :)

There is some parking along beside the parklands but you have to be lucky to get one here. There is a larger carpark at the end but this too fills quickly. There is also limited public parking under the unit blocks. Other wise you might find a park in Albert St or Wickham Tce.

My tiny frog photo

Kane is the hand model (and support) for the froggy.

Taken with 70-200mm 2.8, from a reasonable distance... very happy frog is in focus !

Greg...those pics are amazing. Particularly the blue banded bee, and the butterfly on the pink flower. Insane!

Dwarak, the dragonfly and the dwarf treefrog are both killer. I'm blown away!

I went to the meet today hoping to find some lovely jumping spiders...or hover flies, but all I found was damn frogs...which I've been exclusively shooting for the last few weeks. All this frogtography is starting to drive me bonkers :/

Looks like it was a great day! I've just moved to Brisbane, but unfortunately I haven't been on here much lately and missed this. Hopefully I'll get a chance to make it to the next one, will keep my eyes peeled.

I had a great afternoon. So many of us. Hard to get around to everyone but I think we all enjoyed ourselves.
I had my grand daughter there which most of my time was spent on taking photos of her but I think most of us walked away with a photo of Chloe.
But these are the (2) I walked away with that wasn't her..LOL ;)

What an absolutely beautiful collection of photos. Looks like a resoundingly successful meet. Well done to everyone :th3: There are lots of places around Brisbane I missed out on when we were living there and other places I got a frequently that I miss as well e.g. Wello Point & Pt Halloran (old stomping ground). About to move again now further south to Tumut...Cold!!! and hopefully get to meet a few photographers there. I am kind of looking forward to some nice wintery morning shots :)
