Sorry, not much notice for this meet but wondered if anybody wanted to drive up to Mt Tomah Gardens next Sunday. We could make this a macro/ landscape meet - there should be lots of colour by now. I have a few things coming up on my calendar so really this is the only day that I can make it. If we leave it any later we run the risk of there being no leaves on the trees.
I would suggest that we meet up there at 10am which is the opening time of the garden.

PLEASE POST IN THIS THREAD IF YOU ARE COMING.

Hi Nellie

I should be able to make it and can probably pick someone up on the way if not too far off route.

Cheers

Great to have you along Bec - there will be plenty of other photo opportunities other than macro. Lots of mountain scenery and maybe some wildlife.

I'm hoping for a bit of mist and light rain like we got last year, makes for excellent water drops on the flowers. ;)

Looking forward to meeting you Phil.
Hopefully the rain will be all gone by Sunday but a bit of morning mist would be great.

Lets all meet at the shop.

I wondered where you had got to Tony or maybe it's me. I have been so busy lately I haven't been on the forum much. Hope you can make it.

Be good to catch up Tony, haven't seen you for ages, thought you might have moved to China permanently or something. :P For those who want to give macro a go but don't have a dedicated lens, I'll be bringing my Kenko extension tubes for those who want to try them out (for those who made the smart choice and bought Nikon of course). :)

I'll have my extension tubes as well and willing to let anyone try them. Ooh.... we are such sharing little community. :)

Still contemplating this one! Will confirm later today but of course would love to borrow extension tubes if I do come as I still haven't bought any!

Hi everyone, bad news, I couldn't leave you in peace so I WILL BE COMING TO Mt. TOMA tomorrow. Mary hasn't been feeling well lately so she will make her mind up tomorrow if she will come or not. So I will see you all around about 10:00am.

Narelle,
I will bring your stuff up with me tomorrow.

Oops - just read your PM first Greg and answered it and then I saw that you had posted in here later in the day. Great to see that you can come!

Hi guys, as much as I'd love to come tomorrow I won't be making an appearance. Bit of a traumatic day as my little model fell off her scooter and so after a trip to the dentist & doctors I need a day to recover. You'll have to take your own group shot :D See you all soon.

Should also say thank you to the Model of the Day, your patience and excellent modeling skills were appreciated and, allow me to suggest, will be used against you for a very long time.

Great shot of you all. Glenn, Well done in my absence, you'll make a good photographer :lol:
Sounds like you had a good day sorry I couldn't be there.
Greg - what a great model & on your birthday too!

Narelle - Danielle broke off part of one front tooth but it can be repaired & has a big fat front lip. It broke my heart to see her with blood pouring out. I was in shock more than her I think! The driveway has a lot to answer for! :) Luckily she's been as happy as ever today.

Geee, perhaps I should make this sub section of the forum as my AP "home page" as I've missed three meets now! Been hanging out to get to one since my last meet in 2008!

Next time, maybe :p

Alan,

You can subscribe to the NSW forum so when there's a new post you'll receive notification. Best way to keep up to date with AP NSW meets. ;)
