Ah, Riley gets up before the crack of dawn so I don't have to ;~) Thanks Mike--I'd say it was worth it!

Than tells everyone that Brendan sleeps till 12 so no one called me when I slept threw my alarms at 6:45 to get up etc for our 7:30 am meet today (sunday) WTF not cool... I still had stuff to give out/away!
However still got in some nice time with pam, chip, mel and martin... Mel and Martin stayed the longest... 2:30 and worth it! We got some nice bird shots and a deer too

Thanks everyone for attending. Remember to send your images to me via my gmail email and your address. I will get your prints out asap

I DID TEXT YOU!!! Hello! I get NO credit here! I just wanted to wait until I had a wee nap. I got bird shots staying later but I won't necessarily call them nice. Really I got lotso blurry bird shots. I really need to work on that bird shooting thing.

Day one sunrise:

**dadipentak** · 06-29-2009, 10:10 AM

Oh, WOW, Mel--I can't get shots like that even when I'm awake!

MRRiley · 06-29-2009, 10:16 AM

Nice shot Mel! I was half asleep that morning and didn't think of doing any long exposures...

Right, I don't think we should be burying high quality shots like yours and Mike's at the end of this tired thread. You guys have a better feel for these things--perhaps a fresh new thread?

I think it would really be fun and instructive to see more of what you guys shot and how and generally to compare notes.

BrendanPK · 06-29-2009, 09:59 PM

Same applys as last year... Post here, or atleast link to your posts.
Also there is a special "gathering+events" section in the gallery here, Thats where I have uploaded all photos u see now form the gathering from me.

Also everyone remember... Dont forget to send me your file for a 16x20 print (any file at all) and also include your shipping address.

And I will post a gallery on my site, so if everyone can email me "web-versions" of your top 5-10 images, I will compose a group gallery. (please pre-watermark your images for this though)
thanks

A Big note on the prints!!!!
Please send them to my gmail account Brendanp3 at gmail dot com
Also include your shipping address in the email and your screen name here.

Files should be highest quality jpeg, with all cropping/color corrections done by you (I may tweak color a tad for printing, but majority is on you) I can/will print a full-frame (16x24ish i think it is) if you would like, no problem
Any up-rezzing I will do, Trust me I know my equipment and what it likes/outputs nicely and Genuine Fractals (program I have) does a better job than anything else I have ever tried (plus if you send me a 20mb jpeg I and my email will kill you lol)
Thanks again everyone
-Brendan
