I'm out 3/28 as I'll be on a bus to Kmart that morning. Not sure how I feel about switching for Sunday, but I've been having a BLAST doing these so lets get the ball rolling in terms of setting up the next meet.

Also, WHERE should we go? I wouldn't mind doing the north end of Narragansett beach one morning:

a sample from a sunSET there:

Either of the next two Sundays work for me. I'll be in Salem on 4/3-4/4 for a marsh conference.

While I like the north end of Narragansett in theory, I'm not sure how happy I'd be with it. I'm a whore for foreground interest, and there just isn't much there.

What about Ft. Wetherill?
Specifically:

hrm, could be interesting. How much billy goating for that part of Ft W? Plus, there's the fort for some abandoned/graffiti type shooting after...

The amount of climbing is pretty dependent on the tide, but there's paths through the woods. Either of those beaches are pretty nice.

Some sunset digital art:

I'm going skiing at Killington. We call it Kmart, well, because the average "shoppers" feel about to same if you're a decent skier. (they're all NYC/NJ *******s)

I figured it had to be something other than the store.

I want to get back here for a sunrise. Done plenty of sunset work here, but never sunrise. Also Black Point again. Lot left there to explore. Lets take a break this coming Saturday, but look at the week after, or whenever that works for everyone.

-Andy

Sunday the 5th it is!

...and it's Ft. Wetherill


Begin civil twilight 5:53 a.m.
Sunrise 6:21 a.m.

This looks nice. Maybe week after the next meet. Or Black Point again?

Im in!

idk about this one yet...
I'm going to a show Friday night at the palladium in Worcester, and also Saturday night near the same place.

Sunday might just have to be a day of rest, not waking up early.

So I think I have one or two model shoots after the sunrise that morning in the Newport area. If anyone is interested in learning a little bit about portraiture, let me know. I cant promise youll be able to shoot, but I dont mind a tag along or two if you want to learn some stuff.

matt, i'm probably up for that

K, sounds good Eric, I def have a shoot at 10am on Sunday.

dang that sounds awesome matt.
but idk if i'll be awake...

I'm down for the sunrise, but probably not for the model shoots.

^ ditto.

also, I was just scouting around Jamestown in gmaps satellite imagery and noticed that when you zoom in Dutch Island disappears.

I've already got a shoot planned Bleh

Ben - you should bring a nikon to canon adapter ring. I'm curious to see how my t-s contraption performs on FF.

I used to know that place like the back of my hand BTW, I grew up on the west passage with a dinghy.

also, the sakonett light was also doing the same 2 weeks ago?

I'll try to remember. I also want to try to shoot the LX3 a bit to see how it's shots might compare.

Yeah, I spent some time out there as a kid, as well. Now the place is lousy with deer ticks I've heard.

Word. PnS with GNDs ftw.

yeah, unfortunately I don't have a QR plate that'll work (one's in the mail but we both know that means next week), but I'll certainly trey anyway.

Haha, I you're probably right. I don't remember ever worrying about them when I was a kid, though.

Okay - to get this thing back on track:

Meet at this parking lot around 5:45?
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...19312&t=h&z=16

do we need scuba tanks to get in that one?
or at least a dive sticker?

I've never been hassled there. But I've never been there before sunrise.

no, I'm just saying how it's usually SWAMPED with divers... probably won't be an issue before sunrise with chili water temps though.

don't sniff the bubbles.

ugh.

So I've been trying to get Nikki to go away with me to VT. It was supposed to be alone for my Bday, but that didn't work out... But now her friend (who I emailed on facebook to set this up) asked her and they're both thinking this weekend... Problem is the next weekend is Easter so we have to be here, then the weekend after is the boston marathon which her friend is running.....

so this weekend is basically it for the next 2 weekends.



I'm thinking if she'll let me go to Jay and Ski super early sunday morning (since I/we will be driving up there anyway just to finally see it) I'll go to VT, but otherwise I'll pull for the sunrise session.

OK, *phew*, everything worked out and we're NOT going to VT this weekend... I'll be there at around ~5:45am.

are we meeting at the point or somewhere else?

Look forward to meetin' ya.

I need this session so bad right now - I'm so stressed. I'll probably not be able to edit them for a couple days afterward, but just the act of getting out and not having to think about tiny ****ing fish for a few hours will be awesome.

thanks guys.

you should put some files into the PP this section and let us PP them for you.

Haha, I definitely might do that.
Do you canon guys have the capacity to work w/ Nikon raws?

ummm, yes!?

LR2/CS4 hello!

<- still doesn't have ACR.
