lol-age, i was trying to be low key...

the plantation gig is gonna happen pretty soon since there is a small window of opportunity where teh sun aligns (well as close as it can) for this location (thats would be the pre-light painting entertainment)

how about a balmain sunset (citscape) - weather is pretty hectic atm, but could produce something stunning...

Oops! No one knows which forest anyway.

I am quite keen to have a specific shot in mind to execute....any ideas? Also is it just going to be lots of straight trees?

There was a fence being erected last time I was playing in the forest @ Richmond so you might find access not that easy. Guess it depends on the type and height of the fence....might just slow U down. Owner makes a quid out of hiring it out for weddings etc

Thanks Ray for your input. Do you have a contact for the owner ? Also, do you have a few pics for us to have look at? Did you go with the Flickr group?

Went there by myself on an overcast/drizzling morning. I dont have the phone number of the owner but I believe the going price is $100 (if that doesnt discourage you I can find out the phone number) . If you want a report on the proportions of the fence I will ask a local contact and get back to you.

Perhaps, if an EL wire lit up in a forest and no one saw it, was there really any light there?

Thanks Ray for the images. I already know the size of the fence as I had a drive-by look. We will contact owner and sort things out.

WTF - surely we don't want to do anything unless we're doing it illegally :)
