Sydney christmas meet - saturday 8 december

[raccoon]

I'm easy

[NikonNellie]

I might see if I can buy some EL wire and inverters and hopefully have it arrive by the time of the meet. Another thing we can try is Light Stencils - anyone good at cutting out stencils?

[Ventureoverland]

Unfortunately due to last minute work commitments I'm going to have to drop out

It's a real bummer cos I was really looking forward to it.

Have fun though and I look forward to seeing the results.

That's a shame Jon - maybe we will see you at the next meet.

I ordered some EL Wire online last night from Hong Kong but the arrival date was Dec 13 - you never know your luck. It may come before our Meet. Sometimes the international postage is quicker than the Australian Postal Service. At least we will have some for the next LP Meet.

[Mr Felix]

I'm interested.

But reading the latter posts by Nelly, I don't think I undertand what is going to happen.

I guess that is all the more reason to turn up. :-)

Might learn something new!

So dispite what I have read, I am still not sure where the meeting is happening.

Thanks.

Quote Narelle/Nellie

I would like to suggest that instead of going to Middle Head we just go to Clifton Gardens and have our picnic there and bunker down for a fun night of light painting. There is a nice big wharf there as well as some interesting buildings. You can also take a walk to some nice scenic lookouts. Let me know your thoughts! I have also asked a colleague if she would like to model for us in the afternoon but I don't like our chances so keep looking for potential models and we can have even more fun with a portrait shoot.

Clifton Gardens Reserve, Morella Rd, Clifton Gardens. There is a park, beach and harbour bathes there.

Here's a pick of the beach taken way back with the D80. The Park area is just beyond the path to the left.

Looks fab Nellie. I have been to the buildings on the other side when they belonged to DoD but not to the beach. You can access the buildings from the beach side until 6pm and then they lock the gate on the path. I don't know if you can bypass that. Really odd as both sides are accessible.

I will bring a few torches and gels for the evening. There is a possibility of a fire ban with the warm weather of late. I think Christine may have some battery powered xmas lights that could be useful too.

[NikonNellie]

Thanks pete. I was hoping if we had a model that we could have used the buildings for a portrait shoot but alas the girl I was lining up can't do it. So if anybody knows of someone who might be interested to be our model, please beg, grovel, worship them so we can have an added bonus for our meet.

[Mr Felix]

Wow, I love that shot.

I sort of understand how it was done, but if you are there, I would like to discuss the mechanics of it.


(oops. That worked great. I was looking at the post with the pictre of the person holding the flames swinging them.
I clicked on the "reply" - as opposed to the generic POST REPLY and it wasn't as intended.)

Hi Nellie.. remember I said I would have to come up via train from Wollongong? Im sorry but have been looking about the posts, still cannot find where the location is If Diana didnt suffer motion sickness so much she would have come up also and maybe modelled for the fun of it
As it is she hates getting back by train of an evening with the louts on there. If you can get back to me on when & where Ill see if I can grovel so I can go.
A torch would be good to write our names etc (I know, old school but hey we all could do it and post up as who we are)

[NikonNellie]

Warren have a look at Post # 47 im this thread - it tells you the address.
Here are a couple of links to Google maps that might give you a better idea:
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en...53637&t=h&z=13
and
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en...19205&t=h&z=16

I guess your best bet Warren if coming by train, is to catch a bus from possibly Wynard Station but then I am not sure how you would get to Clifton Gardens Reserve from there other than a taxi. Hope you make it!

I have now posted a new thread with all the details here:

[peterb666]

Public transport - Catch the 247 route bus from Wynyard - Carrington Street Stand A - departs around 2:27 pm and 2:57 pm etc. Get off at Bradley's Head Rd, near Thomson Street roundabout and then about a 450m walk. The bus trip is about 25 minutes plus walking time.

Go to http://www.131500.com.au for details and I would think a map is advisable (you can get one from the site).

You won't have a problem getting a lift back to a railway station or somewhere convenient later in the evening.

[Mr Felix]

Ah, yes the mosquitoes!

Darn them!

Yeah, I am still hoping to come.

Thanks for the other post Nellie with what to bring.

It will be a good excuse to get some good use of my tripod.

[Mr Felix]

Nellie,

I know it is tomorrow and is short notice, but may I bring someone if they are interested?

Thanks in advance.

[NikonNellie]

Yhe more the merrier Mr Felix.
Well the ELC wires that I orderded didn't arrive today, so I guess we will use them for the next light painting meet.

[Mr Felix]

Nellie,

This ELC wire..... That's the wire which gets hot when you connect it to power - right?

Shame.

The other person - well I asked/offered. Waiting on their reply now.

I know it isn't the same, but would those "new/trendy" LED light strips work similar?
I know they would be a squillion dots rather than how what I think it is would do, but there may be some nice results from that as well.

(Just put a strip of them over my kitchen bench and they are great.)

TTYL.

[Darey]

I have some light Gismos to bring and I am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

[NikonNellie]

The ELC wire is Electrophosphorous Copper wire. The copper wire is coated with phosphorous which makes the wire glo when it is connected to a power source. Bring along the LED light strips if you can connect them to some battery power - willing to try anything.
