Great meet this morning to all those who attended. Good to meet some old and new faces. Some candids from me of everyone in action.

Good to see everyone having fun and getting some shots. Always great to be able to put faces to the names we see online.

A couple more of the crew:

Some of my photos

This is what you want to do on a photo shoot...

This is what happens...

Tripods!

Or worse still, tripods and photographers!!

My Olympus E-P1 and 20mm lens were clearly outgunned by some of the bigger lenses...

Cheers

It was a great meet and as can be seen from the threads above. We had a good number of Photogs turn up.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the rest of the gang and we had a good time sharing tips and jokes.

Oh we also took some photos.

Following are a couple of my interpretations of the morning.

I had a great time this morning guys. Worth getting up earlyfor. Added bonus meeting new people. Here's a few of mine processed rather quickly this afternoon.

**Xenedis** · 21-02-2010, 10:10pm

'Twas a fun meet.

Looking forward to the next.

**damnameany** · 21-02-2010, 10:41pm

I was sorry I was having to miss the meet

and now even more so after looking at the excellent shots

. I am looking forward to the next meet when NikonNellie has the details posted

It is always good to see AP members out and about enjoying the scenery and socialising, the images from the day look great.

Of course, not knowing Sydney or the surrounds very well I had no idea about the meet up point and it wasn't till this morning that a news item caught my attention featuring Bare Island that I found out the reason behind it's name.

I am sure there weren't any AP members involved

---- or were there?

**Gluggy** · 22-02-2010, 10:30am

never a good mix, nudists and a pack of photographers and the police, surprised there are not any "action" shots to show

. Great shots by the way, love the rock formations and texture of the bridge, looks like a great site. Worth a revisit perhaps for a sunset series. Well done people.

No most of us were too busy to see whether the blonde girl doing the modelling shoot was going to get her gear off...

Police said legal nude bathing beaches located in the Sydney metropolitan region included Lady Bay Beach at Watsons Bay and Cobblers and Obelisk Beach at Middle Head.

they need somthing south too

**peterb666** · 22-02-2010, 2:16pm

To be truthful, those photos were far too over-exposed to publish but we have printed them out and keep them in a drawer for future reference.

Having been born and raised in Sydney I was well aware of the adjoining beach, people can be easily seen on the beach from Bare Island with a 300mm lens but not with the "naked" eye.

Try Werrong Beach south of the Royal National Park.

Looks like a fun morning.. Lots of interesting images there.
Its great to put a face to a name and thanks for sharing.

Sorry; that was all my fault. I insisted on getting out my 300mm Can(n)on, but the police told me to put it away.

**judybee** · 23-02-2010, 1:25pm

Sorry I missed it. Looks like you had a great day. Maybe I will make the next one.

**peterb666** · 23-02-2010, 2:05pm

The site is very accessable and I will be returning once I get some wider glass. A great spot for both dawn and sunset.
