Thanks for your message MHD

No worries

Any theme or anything you want covered in particular?

At the moment I am thinking a particularly laid back meet with a bottle of sparkling at the gardens with some gear to compare...

If anyone wants anything in particular let me know...

Thank you everyone who came along.

We had Mr and Mrs christiand, Mr and Mrs MHD, little MHD and Mr and Mrs ru32day plus their son attend. I allmost forgot Steve and his sons.
Steve is lurking for the time being.
This was a first get together with Canberran members who hadn't met before.
We were checking each other out and quickly engaged in friendly discussions about our camera gear, the temptations of Birddog114, and where we were coming from, our back grounds, photographic experience and why we were doing this.
We were sharing our experiences.
We had quite some fun putting our flashgun power into gear.
Everyone has an external flash that can be turned into a remote flash.
It was very interesting to have three flashguns illuminate an image.
We are starting to plan and implement shooting meets and tutorials.
I believe that we have great potential and also the right environment to form a cooperative (so to speak) that will beneficary for every member.
We are in the process of defining the framework for a night shooting mission in a fortnight.


Thanks again and let us know what the members would like to do in a fortnight.
I'd like to suggest that we concentrate on the area between National Library and National Gallery just before sunset, Saturday 12-02-05
19:00 at the National Library.

Cheers
