Hi microcosm,

Thanks for the idea and organising. It would be great for newbies like me to have meet-up sessions with seasoned olympians.
Cheers!

Looks like everyone is favourable on meeting up, which is great for me too...

Now, shall we decide WHERE to meet?

Options are :

a. In town, maybe the shooters' cafe at Boat Quay area.
b. In Orchard area.
c. At an obscure cafe restaurant off Bukit Timah Road, recommended highly by drakon09.
d. Funan Centre Ah Koon Kaya Toast.
e. Spinelli's at Peninsular Hotel (usual hang out for many CSers).

No more choices please... headache liao lah...

 

[drakon09]

Bro, I do think we need to state when as well.

Hmm on second thoughts, you state when; you're the one that's always out and about.

I will bring a couple of my High Grade glass... I don't think anyone other than Hacker has the Super High Grades (I might be wrong)... I think the other "old birds" have the high grade glass too... but we can always go to Oly office to play with their glass. The critical agenda of this meeting is not to play with high end glass, but to teach the new users to know THEIR gear better. And share some shooting tips. I will bring a monopod and tripod and show the importance of having camera support. Or can someone else bring the support?

Drakon09, what will you be bringing? Jimmy, you are old bird liao... care to come help? The more lao jiao the better, the most ideal being a one to one for every new user. See if you can come to help. OK?

See you guys.

 

[drakon09]

I'll bring another monopod and tripod.

E-1, E-300

FL-36

11-22mm, 50-200mm, 18-180mm, 50mm

Choing expodisc.

That's about it.

Oh yeah, and myself (of course I'm not getting myself out of this!).

Don't mind me, I'm just memorising f-stops... :dent:

 

[cyuxiang]

Don't remind me of my physics of optics

1.0
1.0 * sqrt(2) = 1.4
1.0 * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) = 2.0
1.0 * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) = 2.8
1.0 * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) = 4.0
1.0 * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) = 5.6
1.0 * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) = 8.0
