  • Gathering of Photographers

    Hello , everybody -

    In another post, I offered to host a gathering of AAFO members/photographers who would like to compare notes and learn from some of the more experienced shooters. I'm still up for hosting this event, so I'll need some feedback from all potential attendees regarding the best time and date.

    My house is only about five minutes from the ramp, so we can be very flexible in this regard. I don't know when the other "must attend" events (Parker, Warlock, Bear cave, etc.) are scheduled, so I'll need your input on that. Any date/time from Wednesday thru Saturday eve. looks good to me, so please reply to this message with your preferred date/time. I'll use the feedback to come up with a time that works best for as many people as possible.

    I'mthinking the menu will consist of whatever can be cooked on a barbque or stored in an ice chest. If you have any special needs, (vegan, only drink wine spritzers...) let me know. I'll work on the food and drink angle after I know how many will be attending.

    I'll also have internet access, CD and DVD writing capabilities available for those who might want to back up their data or check e-mail and don't have a computer with them, plus some imaging editing software if Victor wants to put on a seminar. If anyone has any other ideas for this event, let me know.

    Re: Gathering of Photographers

    Hi Mike,

    Good deal!!!

    I'm all for this, hey guys, let's get behind this one and figure out a day which will work...

    Let's make it easier by trying to dig out which nights have other stuff going on at the field or elsewhere..

    Wed eve: WARLOCK PARTY is the most notable evening I can think of.

    If you guys are into it, we can start some sort of fund for this. Personally, I'd love to get Wingman and Victor to talk about technique. Neal usually camps at the field and I'd bet that for the promise of a hot shower, he'd show in a heartbeat.

    Hummn... this might be the perfect time to think about gettin those AAFO T-Shirts made up ey...??

        Thanks again for the generous offer Mike. My wife and I would love to attend any evening after the races. I voted for Thursday but any evening will do from Thursday on for us.

        It might be cool if there were a way to do a slide show of some of the pics taken that day or earlier in the week. Do you have a big screen or projector that can be hooked up to the PC? Just an idea

        Wayne,
        I'm in for (2) shirts if you get them made up!

            Re: Gathering of Photographers

            Mike, thanks again for the wonderful offer. I've voted for Thursday evening, but I'd be there any evening Sunday to Sunday. I'll have my laptop handy to play with images and do any CD burning anyone might need as well.

            Hey Wayne, chalk me up for a t-shirt as well. If time gets tight, perhaps even bang off some ink-jet iron-on transfers, we could have an ironing session at the shin-dig as well.

            Cheers all
            Gerry

                  T-shirts??? I might be bringing a few shirts with my artwork on them. "if" so I might have four or five different ones but only about a dozen of each.

                    Re: Gathering of Photographers

                    I've just voted for Thursday night. That would give us a chance to use some of the knowledge gained before the week is out.

                    As everyone is volunteering stuff, I'll plan on being the "stereo tech guy" in case anyone needs help with their 3D cameras.
                    No pixels were harmed, honest.

                        Of course. All my friends run when I bring yet another batch of Reno stereo photos around. You guys are all fresh meat!

                          Now that sounds like fun! I think this (the first annual??) is going to be a very good evening, maybe even someday, it'll be just as happenin' as the Warlock or Bear Cave parties I've ready about.
