Just saw the weather forecast for next saturday is "showers increasing" ..... so the question is, what happens if it is raining ?

Cheers Dave

They will call us beforehand, and let us know if it's cancelled. They will then reschedule for another day, but lets hope it doesn't come to that.

Um if we are unfortunate for rain (fingers crossed that won't happen) & you say they will let us know if cancelled... how do they do that?? I don't recall giving my phone number, but then again I am suffering a bad cold atm with no voice as well, so the brain isn't really functioning that well.

To tell you the truth, not sure exactly. But since I'm down as the contact for the groups, and they have my details, I'll assume they will contact me and I'll post here (and on facebook), so check either before you leave on Saturday morning.

Not long to go now...fine weather forecast for the morning

...so what lens is everyone taking ???

**Allann** · 10-06-2011, 4:57pm

I'm using a 16-35 on the 5D2 as I used a 24-70 last time.
A friend is using the 24-70.

I was really in two minds about the choice though, nearly going with the 70-200. But I have a specific shot in mind that I can only do with an ultra wide.

**davearnold** · 10-06-2011, 5:11pm

My 24-105mm has died with the IS problem they get, so now using my 17-55mm f2.8 on my 7D, know I would like more reach, but can only use what I have (and in some ways glad the 24-105mm died when it did, would be tragic if it had died on the bridge).

**Wobbles** · 10-06-2011, 5:52pm

I may have an issue with my 24-70

, don't have ultra-wide yet so may end up going with 70-200..?!

**Steadyhands** · 10-06-2011, 5:56pm

24-105 for me.

**ATP** · 10-06-2011, 7:29pm

I think I'm going to go the 24-105 too...though I was tossing up the 70-200 as well Wobbles !!

I've never set out on a Sunrise shoot before...so haven't got any specific shots planned in my head like you Allan...bugger...looks like it's going to be another one of those days to "suck it and see".

See you tomorrow everyone

**in2fx** · 10-06-2011, 8:34pm

I have chosen a 18-200

**jack2706** · 10-06-2011, 9:02pm

I'm with Canon 10-22mm

Is a Black Rapid R strap acceptable to use on climb?

**BrisTom** · 10-06-2011, 10:45pm

Still thinking should I bring the 14-24mm or 24-70mm on the D700 will make a call tomorrow morning before walking out the door.
hmm

Looked like it would have been nice and cool up there this morning.

Wasn't too bad - we were dressed for the chill (apart from the bann on gloves). It was a lot of fun. Thanks (again) Allann for organising. Now have heaps of photos to sort...didn't want to miss an opportunity.

**in2fx** · 11-06-2011, 2:40pm

It was a fun morning, even-though the sky remained very grey.

Thanks to Allan for organizing it

**Allann** · 13-06-2011, 11:33am

Thanks all for coming along. Sorry the sunrise wasn't more colourful, but that part was out of my hands

. Here is a copy of the group shot, happy to send the original to you, just send me your email address in a PM.
