Girlfriend and my self would love to come along to this. Will be good to be able to put a few names to faces.

[NikonNellie]

You and your girlfriend are more than welcomed fr33lanc3r! Is your girlfriend good looking......maybe we can encourage her to model for us! Looking forward to meeting you.

Shallow some. She may be a lovely person (and good looking). We all know some of the best images come from those with "character" in their face. Most people can be encouraged to model with some liquid courage provided. Think about Karaoke and how more people sing as the night goes on.

[fr33lanc3r]

Thanks very much, we might be able to convince her. Lets see on the night. Looking forward to it

Thank you again Paul and Lyn for a lovely evening last night. It was really fun and there was a great atmosphere. I learned a few things along the way as well.

Paul and Lynn,
Thank you so much for hosting our portrait shoot last night, I hope you understand just how much Mary and I appreciate your company and how much trouble you went to to make our night enjoyable.

We have had guests at home all day today so I haven't processed my shots yet but I think I got a few keepers.

Danielle, thank you for posing for some shots. I hope I got some that you will like.
Joe, can you please thank Sam for posing for me, I think I got a couple of very nice shots of her and will send you copies as soon as I process them.

Finally, thank you to everyone who attended. I enjoyed chatting with you all and Mary has told our friends what a lovely time she had and how nice and relaxing the evening was.

Paul, thanks for that information mate, I will pass it onto Mary.

Thanks Paul and Lyn for hosting a great AP meet. I appreciate the effort you guys made in making us feel like we were there for a party - loved the fairy lights and the presentation of that wonderful spread of food.
It was a great venue for photography and certainly one that I would like to revisit in the daytime. Please thank the girls for Paul for offering to model for the night. I'll be posting up some images tomorrow.
Great to catch up with all you guys and I'm looking forward to the next meet.

Another thanks for Paul and Lyn. It was a great night and Lesley had a great time with then non-photographers.

[virgal_tracy]

I too would like to express my thanks to Paul and Lynn for their hospitality, organisation of the food and models and generally providing such a great night.

Also more thanks to Paul, Zac and Nellie for providing the lighting setups for the night.

I finally got time (golf today) to sit down and process a few shots from our portrait night.

I was very lucky because I had 2 beautiful models whom agreed to pose for me and I believe I have managed to get a couple of keepers.
You can make up your own minds as to whether you agree or not.

My first model was AP's own "Danielle10". I asked her to sit for a lighting test, which she did, and then agreed to continue to pose. I think you will all agree that Danielle is a beautiful subject.

Shot #1 - Danielle in a 3/4 length pose.

Shot #2 - Danielle - what more can I say?

My second lovely model was Sam who is the beautiful daughter of AP member Joe " Silkdiver". Sam is a classic beauty and is a very easy model to direct and photograph. Thank you Sam for being such a lovely model.

Shot #3 - Sam in a 3/4 length pose.

Shot #4 - One of Sam's portrait shots.

During the night i took some candid shots and this shot, I believe, portrays the relaxed atmosphere we enjoyed on the night. This is Peter " PeterB666" enjoying a break. Thank you Peter for assisting Paul "Racoon" in organising the meet-up.

Shot #5 - Peter enjoying a drink.

Thanks Greg, you have added 50kg to me in that pose.

[peterb666]

I hated all my shots at first but grew to like them more after a while.

OK, here is one of Sam...
