I'm feeling guilty as a "thread killer".
There are a couple of threads I posted in and since then no more posts.

I thought I had replied to your first post Andrew - I am not sure what happened. I have been having some phone connection problems so I must have lost the connection at the same time I posted.
What I said was - thank you for the offer of a model but unfortunately we don't have a venue at this stage and I don't have time before I go OS to organize one.
Ness has given me the name of a local photographer in Bella Vista who is hiring out studio space and equipment to professional togs. I will try and find out if they are willing to hire out to a bunch of amateurs.
If you guys want a meet you will have to organize it amongst yourselves and then when I return in September we will see if we can get a studio portrait shoot together. How does that sound?

Thanks Nell.
I just posted it so if/when we get a venu we have someone who is willing to be photographed.
Sounds like a plan Narelle.....I am out for next few weeks as well as we are off to Hamilton Island for race week again so I'll look forward to a portrait shoot in September sometime I'm working on some people to be models
Have an amazing time on your trip take lots of
Cheers Karen
Well my offer is still there for when we all get organised.
So I hope every one has fun where they are going.
Hear all about it when you get back.
There was an AP member that offered free use (for other AP members) of studio space and equipment that they had set up somewhere near Sydney.
It was a while ago and I haven't been able to track down the thread the offer was made in.
Have a bit of time to spare tomorrow, so will try to find the thread. Will post it here if I find it.
Does it have to be indoor lighting shoot, why not an outdoor lighting shoot ?
Just a thought.........
The fastest way to a man's heart is through his chest with a sharp knife
Canon 50D, Tamron 70-200 f/2.8, A very bright light, EF 50 f1.8, Tamron 17-50 f2.8
Maybe we can combine the two. I personally am a natural light lover but I also want to hone my studio lighting skills.
Keep an eye out folks. I am leaving on the 29th August and returning around the 24th September. Just don't all disappear on me.
Sculpures by the Sea at Bondi from 24 October - 10 November 2013. A meet before then would be good. I wouldn't mind doing a portrait shoot - I rarely do portraits any more.
Cheers

Olympus Pen F with Metabones Speed Booster and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 or Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 or Nikon D800 with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8. The need to keep in touch with the past is a Nikon Photomic FTn or Nikon F2A and a Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 AI
Last week end I received a letter in the letter box.
It is my local council "advertising" that they have venues for "events" of "functions".
I haven't asked too much as they want number of people etc.
For now it is something which is on the table as an option if this comes into happening.
I would love to do a themed portrait shoot - I will have a think while I am away. In the meantime if you guys want to do a shoot such as Livio suggested (thanks for that) then you need to organise it amongst yourselves.
As Narelle (Nikon Nellie) mentioned above, if you want to organise a meet, create a new thread. The key to getting people to come is to have a specific idea for a meet, a defined time that is suitable to a broad range of people and some local knowledge of the spot to organise a meeting point.
I am travelling around in the near future so I won't be organising anything. For others, it isn't hard to do.

Obviously nothing happening yet?
Anyone interested in a Sculptures by the Sea sunrise from Bondi Beach on Saturday 26 October?
I Should be ok for this.. This is a year since I dropped my 2 week old d600 (thank goodness for insurance)
Plenty of venues wildlife and beaches down here (Narooma). Could combine something with the local camera club, could also organise a whale, seal, Montague Island tour. Why not take turns using each other as models. http://www.eurobodalla.com.au/
