ClubSNAPpers in Melbourne..

[Jemapela]

Sounds good! But I can only make it on Sunday afternoon. So I guess you guys can go ahead in the morning and I will join up in the afternoon for coffee. If anyone can contact Darren, it will be great to have more people for this outing. Contact me at 0421370995!

Monday would only be the street parade along Swanston starting around 11am for about 1 hour.

We could go photograph the fun fair on Sunday and wait until dark for the fireworks along Yarra River.

I prefer to photograph Monday's parade and Sunday's day time, not so much of the fireworks.

My e-mail is jemapela(at)hotmail.com (replace "(at)" with "@")

I have checked and confirmed that there will be fireworks at 9:30pm on Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights.

I would prefer to stay out on Sunday night.

Ahh... it is nice to see some response here.

Anyway, I was recently in Sydney and Hunter Valley shooting infrared images with a modified camera. Here's a few from my web to share.

Hi Jeremy,

Long time do see. I think it's time the Melbourne gang meet again.

Why did you go to Hunter Valley? Our very own Yarra Valley is more beautiful.

So where are we guys meeting up on Sunday? 3pm at San Churro at QV?

Hi Ansel,

Long time no see too.

I went to Sydney for holiday, and decided I had to see the Hunter Valley region. I don't recall ever going to Yarra Valley yet, but I will make it a point as soon as I modify my own personal camera for infrared.

Yes, that is a good idea. Sunday 3pm at San Churro at QV Mall.

Great! See you guys on Sunday! Remember to charge up your batteries! And don't forget your tripod! If anyone has a spare tripod, I will need one because I forgot to bring it along with me when I came back 2 weeks ago... :cry:

Sorry guys, this Sunday night got big party. Need my beauty rest.

See you guys next time.

 

[kaxdd]

I won't be bringing my tripod, so no need to bring one for me from any kind soul!

Do hope to see more people tomorrow! Please let us know if you're attending tomorrow so that we can gather strength before moving off. Jemapela and I are confirmed.

The wild storm this weekend may see Moomba canceled.

If the hail and rain comes around 2pm, I don't think we should go out until later around 6pm? Members could chit-chat over dinner.

Sounds like a good backup plan. We will still meet up at 3pm at San Churro unless the hail and storm are really bad. So stay tuned here!

Just to share... There's a Photography Market at Box Hill on 21 March 2010 from 9am to 1pm.

If there's anyone interested in going, let me know as I may be going as well to take a look. I went for the one at Camberwell last year and it was quite an eye-opener for me to see many vintage cameras and lenses.

It is likely to come down hard again this afternoon. Even if the rain and hail doesn't come, the weather will be somewhat off-putting. Most likely, it will be dinner at 6pm.

Thank you for the information.

This photography market mostly happens in Camberwell. I was there once (can't remember which year).

Hope you guys had a good time.

My house was pounded by hail. Leakage in a few areas now. 20 dings (dents!) on my car.

:cry:

 

[Jemapela]

Thank you kaxdd and friend for coming out to Moomba on Sunday.

 

[kaxdd]

No problem! It was a great experience, even though the fireworks were cancelled. Nonetheless, it was a pleasure meeting you up! Hope to have more people to meet up and probably go for a photo outing in the future!

Hi guys,

This year's Photo Marketing Association (Australia) annual expo will be held in Melbourne from 3rd to 6th June. (The venue is not always in Melbourne.)

I thought you guys might be interested to register to go.
