I feel the need for a meet - saturday, 11th august

Weather forecast looking better all the time - from Weatherzone...

6am - Slight chance shower, 9°, chance of rain in 3 hour period 46%, cloud cover 55% , Wind W 29km/h (a bit windy but Westerly???), feels like 5°C, humidity 78%

Did you see the sunset tonight? Maybe something similar in the morning.

Managed to get my internet back on after ringing my provider who took me through configuring my modem after it was reset.

I had a beautiful sunset looking out from my back verandah. I don't think the clouds or rain are going to be the problem - it will be the swell and the wind. I wish I had some sandbags for the tripod.

Good to see you all this morning. The rain didn't dampen the spirits too much. Having stood outside to watch netball I've certainly had enough of the wind today!

Good to see you to Sunset!! I'm glad I went in the end....the weather was pretty tame compared to yesterday! I crashed after lunch and slept for 3 hours!!! After affects from the flu I've had for last three weeks I think!!

[NikonNellie]

Glad you made it Karen - We promise we will make the next beach sunrise shoot a bit more enjoyable for you. I crashed for two hours when I got home and I will be going to bed much earlier than my usual time. Love sunrise shoots but it does zap your energy - probably your crashing was not from your flu Karen just from the change in your body clock and dealing with the elements.

Just reading the above (Wollongong here).. wife & I went out yesterday (11th).. I think all the weather came down here... just got out the car (wind nearly ripped a door off. Got to the rocks & waited.. I was on my bum 3 times due to the wind (think the snow was coming off the mountains).
packed it up & went home to bed, wife was drained.. think it was the weather more than anything, sunrise was..... not there.

Glad you guys were able to get some without being buffeted

I caught a glimpse of Peter's and Danielle's images from yesterday's Turi shoot. Some nice shots.

It looks like you had some nice, dramatic conditions, very reminiscent of my first visit there in 2007.

I've been meaning to head to Turi this year (to capture the green moss), but getting out for a dawn shoot is a bit of a struggle at the moment, as I'm juggling a lot of things.

Hopefully I'll capture it before the green moss disappears again.

Turi is quite a safe location even in bigger seas. Definitely take advantage of it when the conditions are good.

The only problem is that the place seems busier than Pitt Street these days. :-(

Turri was good but not a lot of green moss, just enough. You would have been very wet on the North Narrabeen headland.

Just seen this thread... Sorry I missed out this time.

My local Sydney geography isn't that great just yet, where abouts is Turrimetta?

I'm thinking I may take a short visit there myself.

Thx

Turimetta is just north of Narrabeen, and south of Warriewood.

Park on Peal Place, Warriwood, and walk down the stairs. A few minutes south along the beach, and you're at the spot.

Thanks very much. I know just where Narrabeen & Warriewood are. Best bit is, only 20mins up the road

Bugger missed out. Been super busy with work and around the house which I haven't had alot of time on the computer and behind the camera. Last time I got out and about was over 2 weeks ago hoping to get out again very soon.
