Dang, let this thread slide off of my forums, time to play catch-up.

Jac, sorry to hear you can't make it, but like you said maybe next time...

Too late to do the butterfly thing, but that reminds me, ralph...would you mind letting me try that 60mm 2.8 at the VI gtg? I'll even sign a waiver if you like :-)

Oh thank you thank you thank you!

*wondering which of those lenses might look enough like my 18-55 mm so I can make a swap*...:-)

Ten is doable for me if traffic not too bad.

I'm still planning to be there. Does anyone have a link to a good, quick map? I've never been there before, so I'm not sure where to go.

Think there will be any wildlife to shoot, for the Wildlife challenge this week?

Are we talking about the same place Philemon Island/ Victoria Island ??
anyway if we are not let me know

Oh = I was confused as to the location - I thought we were talking Petrie island. I like the Victoria island idea, because of the old buildings, and the water near there. Should be some interesting shots for sure.

(of course, always on vacation) Sunday is still a little ways away so I'll have to wait and see. I'll let you all know soon :)

Isn't that always the way, getting sick as vacation ending? Hope you are able to join us, but it's going to be nippy. Stay healthy!

I won't be able to make this GTG - I'm free on Saturday but not on Sunday. It's too bad, but I hope you all have a great time!

LOL so it's down to me, Steve and Ralph?

10/16/2008 08:13:54 PM · #38

Well, three's a crowd they say... so we'll still have a crowd :).

Hopefully the weather won't be too cold.

10:00 a.m. Sunday, meet at the Middle Street parking lot, right?

I'm still in, and looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll find you folks at the parking area. See you tomorrow.

Morning guys...

Woke up this morning with a nasty sore throat and didn't get much sleep, so I'm going to stay home today...damn I was so looking forward to this gtg! :-( Oh well. If you guys do go, have fun, get some great shots.

Ahh, sorry to hear that Susan. hope you fell better.

Ralph - do you still want to go, with just the two of us? I'll be there if you will, but I'm OK with cancelling as well (it is darn cold out there).
