Definitely been having a good time at these meets, let's try another for next Saturday morning (3/14) at Black Point in Narragansett.

Civil Twilight starts at 6:30, Sunrise at 6:59.

Meet a bit before 6:30 at this parking lot:

It's pi day, so bring your circular polarizer.

Like I said already, I'm in.

pi day?

I'll have the polarizer nonetheless.

Right now NOAA is calling a partly cloudy night Friday, and partly sunny Saturday. So hopefully it holds. And at least in my mind I don't have to get up as early.

-Andy

Yeah - I should be pretty well adjusted to the DST by then. Weather sounds promising!

Pi day is 3.14 - just a bad attempt at a nerdy pun.

i'm probably in for this.

hopefully I can swing this and the St Patty's day parade and whichever meal we do at BAP this morning, but yeah, if I get clearance I'm in.

In google maps you can just right click center the map where you want and then choose link at the top right and it'll give you a link to it.

also in google, if you double left click it'll center on that spot. Then click link, but don't copy it.... scroll to the end of the link and find the lat lon it's centered on. Then repaste that into the search line and then copy THAT link...

OK, split this into 2 threads, hopefully that keeps us all straight as to what's when.

I was going to suggest that, Thanks Ben

The wife said I could go, but that since I'm also getting up early Sunday for skiing I'll have to sleep on the couch.

Getting excited. Looking good on NOAA also still. Partly cloudy Friday night, sunny Saturday.

yeeeeeeeeeeesss.

FYI, for anyone that hasn't been down there before, make sure you have a flashlight on you to get down there. This isn't like Weekapaug where you just walk out onto a sandy beach.

-Andy

I'll make sure I have my Surefire on my in case everyone else forgets.

what, just because someone falls in and has to call the CG from there every year....

nose game on who that gets to be!

some stupid.... fisherman... in the next big storm?

Andy, is your 3 stop ND a 77mm? I'd like to try it out later in the morning if you don't mind.

I have a 10 stop in 77.

...I want that...

Part of a Hi-tech P series set up. Not 77mm screw in. If you have a 77mm cokin adapter ring, your good. I have a spare holder.

-Andy

Looking at getting a B+W 77mm 3.0 ND (1000X) though (nine stops I think). Won't have it by Saturday though.

I may want to borrow that.

no problem. I took this with it Saturday:

Cool, thanks! I've got the holder, I'm just waiting on the adapter ring. (I tried to save $12 by getting a knock off direct from HK, we'll see if that bites me in the ass, but it should be here sometime soon.)

If you ordered today, you could probably get a 77 ring by Friday from 2filter.com. Use overnight, and Friday fo sho.

I think their regular shipping might get it to you by Friday. They are quick. Only up in Vermont, so not far to ship.

-Andy

I can deal with waiting a bit longer, the ebay seller specified 7-10 days, Friday will be 12. So I'm not too worried yet. I can deal w/ holding my grads on Saturday if I need to.

id LOVE to come shoot.... but getting up at 3:30 isnt a option...

wuss.

so who's in this week?

Andy
Ben
NOT chuck....
Eric
Jeff
RiderofBMX (Josh)?

yup, i'm in.

Supposedly, I SHOULD be out of work by 9PM Friday. If that actually happens and I don't get stuck there till 3 again, I'll be there. Unfortunately I can't say for certain that I'll be out on time.

^ If you make it we can work out your color issues with the D300.

i still don't know yet
chances are i'll be deciding on whether or not i'm going around 11PM the night before, just like all the other meets i've gone too

That would be excellent, thank you!

Looking at the tide chart, will be low tide tomorrow about 8am. So tide will be on the way out. Could expose some rocks not seen at high tide. Weather still says partly cloudy in 'Gansett tonight. So hopefully everything will work tomorrow. MoLS did you get your 77 ring?

-Andy

Very interested in this spot tomorrow morning

Nope.

Nor did I get my 645 lens that isn't in two pieces.


I also pulled something in my back pretty good today. Probably from all the sitting on my ass I do while writing. I'm gonna see how it is tomorrow morning, but I might not make it.

i was looking at the same spot this morning. looks like it would be a great place to get some cool shots.

jeff, don't be a *****. my shoulder is dead, and i'm still going.

yeah jeff!

plus, not only do those rocks look rad, beavertail should be just about in line with the sun from there...

Yeah still haven't gotten my 45 yet. But just paid for today, so that's my problem.

You'll get up.

-Andy

Azimuth:

Sun should be about 099 True or so. We'll be to far south.

Also, here is GOES

http://www.goes.noaa.gov

Leaving here in a few minutes, going to grab some coffee and a bagel. I'll see you all there. It's coooold out there.

Great meet guys. Had a great time this morning. Just looking at the RAWs, I have some stuff this time. I will process this afternoon. Might be headed to Watch Hill this afternoon for sunset, so we'll see how much I get done. If anyone is interested in heading down to Watch Hill, let me know.

-Andy

I had a good time, as always, but I didn't really get anything I'm too excited about. A few to share, but that's about it.

Hopefully my back is better for next week!

^ you shoulda shot lower.

bwahahahahaha!
