[AIRIC]

Fun stuff. I'm still on a high from the weekend. Like Jeanne said, we could not have asked for a finer group to spend the day with.

It takes a lot to get me cold, dunno why., I almost never wear a winter coat, never where gloves or mits, ... that photog was commenting on us as we all were "phushing"<<< I know that is spelt wrong, but it means "reviewing our images".. he is a die hard film shooter, and felt we were all wasting our time., he was dressed up like a camera clown, 3-4 assorted film cameras and 3-4 camera bags.. etc. more of a showboat then a photog imo.

Great shots everyone.. sorry for dumping my recent bird images in there, I guess I felt my thread needed a boost!!

Looking fwd to the next meet... who is the planner this time?? I think Airic did such a great job on this one, he should get things rockin again soon., how about a nature hike?? Amherst Island?? haaa!

 

[errant_star]

I think there has been mention of a zoo trip! I'm definately open to Amherst Island (more my neck of the woods anyways!!!)

Again was really great to meet all of you ... I'm still talking about what a great time I had! :hugs:

 

[AIRIC]

Count me in for the zoo or Amherst Island Woohoo!! Ray and I will keep a watch on the Owl count on the Island and when they have some good reports we can organize a trip. I have no problem taking a few people in my car. Let me know if a Zoo trip is organized and I will do what I can to be there.

the zoo sounds cool too., I haven't been there this year., and i would bet some tpf'ers would like to see a free owl in a forest... that is a incredible experiance., like the day Eric and I hiked out onto a farm field in the cold to see this lady...

that day will go down in history as one of the best camera days of my life.

Hey, is that the guy who was looking for some change? Said we could take his photo if we give him some money.

I knew we would see you over here. It was great meeting you and I sure hope we can do it again sometime soon. Please post some images when you get a chance.

Cheers,

Hey Carl, We took almost the same image.

[Raymond J Barlow]

hey everyone.

Airic asked me for a decent file size of that first group shot... so I re-edited it, and saved it as a jpeg, and zipped it, and posted it on the main page of my website... right below maria's video., its a 5 mb dld, and anyone is welcome to have it for a print.

I will leave it up there for a few days.

 

[AIRIC]

I could not help but go back and do some more edits.

Cheers,

Eric
