Leaving Tonight for New Zealand and Australia

[roteague]

Hi All,

Well, I met up with Sean and John last Sunday morning. We met at Sean's house and John drove us to a spot he knew on the coast, where we spent the majority of the day shooting. John and I shot LF (me in color), while Sean used his MF camera. Afterwards, we found a nice pub for a drink and a snack. We were going to visit a gallery, but got there too late - so we drank beer instead. It was a tiring day, but a very productive one, photographically speaking.

Here is a quick snap from the day; Sean and John are discussing metering techniques on a macro shot. Also, another shot; here John is just finishing setting up his Shen Hao for a shot. Sean said he took some snaps as well, so hopefully, he will post them as well.

Robert,
When and where will you be in Oz?

Robert,
When and where will you be in Oz?

Kevin,

Sorry, I was in Oz earlier this month, but wasn't able to get away. I was attending a church conference in Bright, Vic and left right after in order to return to NZ. I'm looking at when I will be able to return to Oz for a photography trip.

Sorry, I wasn't able to get down to Melbourne. I had hoped to, but the conference schedule just didn't give me enough time to do so.

I'm back in Hawaii, and will post some about the trip when I am feeling better (caught a cold on the flight home).

Robert,
It's a pity you didn't get photography time in Bright - it's a great place. If you had been around for a while I would have caught up with you. Next time.

I forgot to mention, that John gave me this awesome, B&W print of a Pohutukawa tree. Hopefully, he will scan it for the gallery. I'm going to have it framed, and hang it above my desk at home.

Here are a few -gasp- digisnaps from the day

2 shots of John and Robert getting down to business and 1 shot to show the area we were in, it's such an incredible spot I plan to go back many times.. We had a great day
