TAS: AP National Meets Day : 2/3 June 2012

[ScottM]

Sunset's now out for me - have a friend coming for dinner.

Weather: shower or two clearing, 8-13 deg. Fingers crossed

[ricktas]

I will take my tablet with me and keep this thread updated on our whereabouts, so if anyone wants to join in along the way, they can find us

[ScottM]

I might grab your mobile number too Rick in case I can't find everyone in Richmond. My phone ain't real smart

[CarolTas]

I'm still interested. I'm not sure if I will make the sunrise but where exactly is the meeting place. Which street?
I will make Richmond for sure.

We will be walking to the point shown near the bottom of this map for views up and across the Derwent for sunrise. There is also a lovely pebble covered beach around the point that offers some great foreground for sunrise shots

[ricktas]

Taken with my camera phone this morning from my deck. Hopefully we will see some colour like this tomorrow morning.

Hi,
I'll be coming tomorrow as well, and bringing Sam (my son) who has responded earlier in this thread.
We share the 60D, so I'll be restricting myself to testing out the capabilities of our old Ixus 90.
(you can all give me heaps - I've got broad shoulders :-) )

cheers,
Eric G.

See everyone in the morning. For info, I drive a silver mitsubishi outlander.

pouring with rain now. radar shows it is not letting up. we have decided to call it a day and go home. if it clears, i might head out again later.

[stoogest]

Very wet out here at Richmond. Good call!

Thanks for the great morning. I'll have my pics up shortly.

Andrew.

Overcast here with the occasional bit of drizzle. I wondered if it'd be much of a sunrise How was it?

BOM radar's saying most of it's passed and forecast for rest of the day is 'Partly cloudy. Isolated showers developing during the morning, easing to the chance of light showers during the afternoon, clearing by early evening. Winds westerly and light tending south to southwesterly up to 20 km/h during the afternoon'

I'll check back here a bit later in case others want to go out.

[stoogest]

Was a bit drizzly and very little sunlight, but just when we'd almost given up there was a window of about 5mins where we had some pretty decent reds show up through the clouds.

[ScottM]

I look forward to seeing some shots At least the heavens shined for a while.

[Coral]

So sad I couldn't be there. Just back from 10 weeks away and didn't feel I could rush away so soon. My Pentax K20D had a fall from top of moving car while away, not fixable, so.... replacement is a Canon 7D. Hope you all have a great day, with lots of top shots and the weather stays ok, next time I'll be there for sure. Cheers

[stoogest]

Photos are now up in the Landscapes section...

[ricktas]

now that it stopped raining, we are at richmond

[stoogest]

and I'm stuck at home finishing off a uni assignment...enjoy the afternoon!

[ScottM]

Just about to have breakfast/lunch now. I wouldn't be there until 2 even if I left not. Doesn't leave much time before having to head back again
Think I'm just going to have to miss it after all this

[JulesJ]

Sorry we couldn't make it. We had Maureen's mums funeral yesterday and family get together today.

Next time.

Jules
