Beach, Portrait, Picnic, Sunset, Light Painting, Something Different - Sat 31 March - Little Bay

[triptych]

If we are doing models, starting at 5pm would be a good idea if its still daylight savings, I did this the other day at 6pm and we were really chasing the light.

It may be nice to have a mongo drop in for a while. Seldom heard but little seen.

I agree Peter it would be great to see a Mongo - an added bonus for the night.

Sincere thanks to you both Peter and Nellie. Mongo will be OS on that date.
However, he was very humbled by your kind thought to have him there. The time for that is coming soon. In the interim, make sure you have a great time.


regards


Mongo

Ok, it looks like our harbour cruise date is changed, so the boss and i will be coming.
I have been working on some containers to put steel wool in and light them and twirl them ( make orbs) so i will bring those along.

If you need a plan B in case of rain, we can meet at my place and use the studio and other spaces for pics

see every one then

If Ness is coming there should be some beach cricket!!!!!

I know what you mean Karen - I'm lucky in that my boys are all grown up and have flown the coop. I think there will be enough happening to keep her interested on the night. Worse comes to worse we will put her to work holding a reflector or something and I wouldn't be surprised if Ness comes along with her daughter Danielle. We all look out for each other at our meets so I don't think safety will be an issue either.

I was going to order some glo sticks (6" ones with a string attached at 60c ea.) and a couple of 430cm battery operated glo sticks at $1.00 ea. online but the cost of postage (over $11) was going to be more than the cost of the items. The supplier suggested I could probably buy them at a novelty store for less so I will see what I can come up with in the next few days.

I'll also see what I can come up with....still looking for a babysitter but no harm in getting organised early!! Sparklers are always fun for light painting shots! I can't provide a model unless i get stuck and have to bring my daughter!!! but I can do glow sticks and sparklers!

[sunset]

I'll hopefully be able to make it pending kids birthday parties!

Great idea Paul (raccoon), thanks for everyone's feedback. Looks like it could prove an interesting evening.

I think we will go for a 5pm start. That leaves plenty of time for those day time things to get out of the way. I will post more info this weekend.

Details for next Saturday,

The starting time is 5pm; there is no car park for the beach at Little Bay so it is street parking only although there may be parking available at the nearby community centre (but don’t use car park for The Chapel). It shouldn’t be much of a problem as few people use the beach. The closest spot is Murra Murra Place, Little Bay, but you can also park in Lister Ave or Pine Ave. Note the beach is only about 500m from Anzac Parade.

We will meet on the beach. There is a path from Murra Murra Pl that heads to the top of the stairs that go down to the beach. The path is less than 100m long and as long as you don’t find yourself on a golf course, you cannot miss it.

There is a toilet/change room and water available part way down the stairs but I don’t know if these get locked at night. There are no other facilities and the beach is not lit so a torch is essential.

Bring your own food and drink and maybe something to sit on.

See you there.

Hey guess what!? I'm piking again.
I have a 2 day course on at artarmon this weekend.
It's a portrait and wedding photography thing so I'm a bit excited.
Lol will see u all next time.. I think

[ktoopi]

I've got a load of glow sticks and sparklers to share and I'm putting together some kit for doing those steel wool spinning photos that Narelle mentioned! Looking forward to Sat night, having some photographic fun and meeting everyone!

[peterb666]

Fantastic ktoopi.

[peterb666]

Looks like the "model" I was brining has fallen through due to a baby sitting failure!

Anyway, looking forward to the evening.

Cheers

Peter

aw....and I just finished washing my wedding dress. Looking at the waistline, I can't believe I was ever than thin!

You are still beautiful to me Narelle

[NikonNellie]

Oh..thanks Paul. Great to have you as a friend - you say the nicest things.

[NikonNellie]

Just a thought - it might be a good idea to wear darker clothes for the light painting so we blend into the background a bit more?
