Point Peron

[Gemini2261]

Wondering if any one has any thought about heading down to Point Peron any time soon while there is finally some cloud about?

Let me know if anyone is, I would like to come :)

[Milbs1]

Juanita, is Easter weekend "soon"?
I reckon I can do a sunset shoot one of those evenings if you are around?

OK, thanks Shirl...I'll keep in mind & I'll watch this space if you do decide to go :).

[PhoTomD]

Point peron sounds and looks interesting:D When are you likely to go there girls?

[Roosta]

Count me in, spoke about a leave pass with the Minister for Finance and Entertainment, and she said yes, yippee.

[jjhtt]

the usual suspects eh! I'll be in that. Got a family bbq planned for either the sat or the sun (not been decided what day yet due to other shift workers), so if it doesn't conflict....I'm there.

:lol::lol: "Minister for Finance and Entertainment" hahaha. My Chief Financial Officer already gave me a certain amount of $$$ to spend during Point Peron trip. (only $ not as much as $$$ hahahah)

The Sunday is Easter, so not that day. so maybe the Saturday or Monday if that fits with others? :)

Then there are are couple of PH's still through that week too. I don't have to worry about my shifts for a while :th3:

[Milbs1]

I can do either the Saturday or the Monday evening I think....

[Karl]

I live in Rockingham and depending on day I'd like to tag along - it would be nice to meet others.

Hi Karl, definitely welcome...we look forward to meeting you :th3: :)

[Roosta]

Hi Guys, Monday would suit me best, I believe I'm out Saturday 4WDing and Sunday eating chocolate eggs with Wife and kids at a family friends BBQ.

I'll keep checking here.

[Milbs1]

Well lets just make the call for Easter Monday, 5pm at Point Peron.
Hoping for some clouds and colour :)

[Roosta]

See you there Shirl. Where abouts? is there a carpark at the end of the drive on to the sand bank. I looked up nearmap.com and it shows walking tracks off from the end of the road? Let me know please when you get a chance. TA

[Milbs1]

There is a carpark at the end.....kepp going until you can go no further!
Nearmap here (http://www.nearmap.com/?q=Point%20Peron%20meet@-32.271263,115.687301&ll=-32.270642,115.689345&z=18&t=h&nmd=20110314)

I have car issues at the moment (battery keeps going flat as the alternator isn't charging). New car arrives at the end of next week (hopefully). If I still have probs I may be unable to make it unless anyone is able to provide a lift from Canning Vale??

Can get you if needed mate. Let me know.

[peterking]

I'll be there.
Day off so plenty of time.
Know your pain Shirl. Mine is due next Wed. JEEP. :efelant::lol::animal3::party7:

[jjhtt]

If Monday is the day...I'm there. Shirley, if you get stuck, I can swing by and pick you up. Also, apparently not a good place to leave stuff in your car...

[Milbs1]

Cheers Roosta, Jeff.
Hopefully I will be OK as I have borrowed a charger so I'm charging the battery in the evening! So far so good. However if there are any further incidents I may take you up on the offer Jeff, as my headlights are a bit dim!

Peter - yay to new cars!!!! Mine was supposed to be next Thursday but the dealer hasn't got it yet so there might be a delay :(

Hay Shirl, If the Alternator isn't chargingf the battery, it will be fruitless to try, the car can't run long enough just on the battery, the more modern car has two many electrics, even your Magna. It probally wouldn't even make it to PP on a new battery. Not worth the risk mate.

Jeff or myself will be your best bet.

:th3:

[Gemini2261]

Oh, good see you all on Monday :th3::th3:

[ashey]

I think I should be able to make it hopefully the weather plays it part, 5 is a good time to get there it will give you a bit of time to scout around and set up.

[PhoTomD]

Yo gals and guys, I would advise meeting a bit earlier than 5PM. Sun sets at 5:45 PM and the spot is full of nice subjects. Research and set up might take a bit more time and you want to be ready when the light comes to play. I'll be there at 4:30 PM :)

Yo, that's exactly what I thought, need to scout about a bit, clamber up & down...I'll be there earlier too :th3:

[peterking]

I'm planning to be there by 4 at the latest.
Well outside my comfort zone. I don't know the area at all.
I'm bringing one of those focusable torches for Gemini so if any one else wants one then let me know and I'll bring it with me.

[Milbs1]

Hi Peter...how much were those torches again (mates rates?!).
I am hopefully coming with Jeff as the car is seriously unwell......

Yeah great...very useful torch for everything!

Just drive right up to the very end of the road, keep sticking to the left, big carpark at the end.

I will try to bring Adam, so he can watch the cars with the dog.

Bring sturdy shoes for rock climbing!

LETS HOPE THERE IS SOME CLOUD!!!!

[peterking]

$30.00.
If there is a problem with Jeff then let me know and I'll head out earlier and pick you up. Bit of a detour but happy to help a fellow camera nut.

[ashey]

Ok see you there at about 4.30.

[jjhtt]

If there is a problem with Jeff then let me know

### are you implying? lol...

Shirl, if you want to head out a wee bit earlier, I have the whole day to myself and can go at anytime.

[smallfooties]

I heard Point Peron has some lovely sun sets... unfortunately i won't be able to make it as i will be playing with the classics (volunteering)...
Plus i was in a 4 car pile up a week ago so my car is a write off... And the curve balls keep swooshing past my head by 1mm... LOL

We will catch you next time, hope you are doing OK after the prang :(

[smallfooties]

I am not knowing what to think of all these close shaves and curve balls missing my head by 1mm...LOL... but i am trying to have fun with my little people project at home.... kekeke...
Anyway, catch ya guys next time! Can't wait to see the sunset shots you guys come up with!:cool:

[PhoTomD]

On another note: I hope that someone has captured today our amazing sky!

[Shelley]

Just noticed this thread and I am not to far away. I will make every effort to be there and do a sunset (I will not look for birds, no birds for me). :)

[Milbs1]

Tom - I was supposed to have a sunrise shoot this morning but couldn't rosk it with the car. Soooo frustrating.
Shelley - will be great to meet you at Point Peron. Perhaps you can do a bird in the sunset???? LOVE your bird shots so I wouldn't mind :)

[Shelley]

Thanks Shirl, I would like to do a sunset for a change - if I can unstick the 400 from the camera - it doesn't come off often. :)

[Grug]

I'll be there at around 4:30-ish.
I managed to miss the last one, but this time I have no other commitments holding me back =)

[peterking]

It was a great meet.
Met a few new people and got a few good shots.
Here are two from the event.

Tom. Waiting.

Afterwards headed home and in the company of Roosta stopped at South Perth where I was caught by this reflection.

[Milbs1]

A good turn out, nice to meet some new faces (not that there's anything wrong with the old faces :p)

Peter, I love the silhouette! Nice comp and great colours!
I have just posted mine in the Landscapes forum...

[Roosta]

Good to see a great turn out, thank you all that came and made a go of it.

Like them Peter, the reflections turned out well.

[Gemini2261]

Nice catching up guy's...love #1 Peter :th3::th3:
