Potential sessions for the coming month (s)I am keen to tick off a couple of sessions in the coming months and if you keen or got any ideas I would be happy to hear them.
1) Waterfall session in the Blue mountains, this may also be a macro fungi session pending the conditions, I am hoping to get to somewhere other than Valley of the waters, althought the bottom of Wentworth falls may tempt me. This would be coupled with a mountains sunrise session, not sure where though yet (local expertise welcome here - there are a couple of lakes up there that i could be swayed towards or other wise a simple suitably position lookout) 2) Startrail session, either a practice one out at kurnell or a proper one in the outskirts of sydney (to get a decent amount of darkness). Another option is a city one with lotsa upside down filters. 3) Light painting, details to be advised, this will be when the crazy Sri-lankan gets back. gerry's photography journey

Re: Potential sessions for the coming month (s)Hmm. #1 and #2 could be combined if an overnighter were to be considered. Not sure where I would stay though.
Ingar Falls is a handy camping spot. But it is a dry weather road in unless you have a 4WD Waterfall shot... Terrace Falls maybe Sunrise... Flat Rock maybe. Looks west and South. Or there are several spots that look down to the city including some on the road down to Ingar Falls Star Trails... Flat rock again would be a good vantage point Light painting... Just os long as the crazy one doesn't pick Newcastle Another idea. A certain Novocastrian promised to look into a Jenolan Caves expedition. We still haven't heard back. Greg

Re: Potential sessions for the coming month (s)Very tempted by all these ideas....hope I can get to some of them, the grind starts again in a weeks time!

Re: Potential sessions for the coming month (s)
And that would be lazy ass me. I think a jenolan visit could be coupled with a BM sunset if we overnight in the mountains which also makes getting to jenolan early much easier. Last time we did that with a mix of camping and motel overnight and with dinner in Blakheath if I recall. Peter

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug

Re: Potential sessions for the coming month (s)I have a friend who is learning to become a guide at Jenolan (today as it happens). I'll talk to her on the weekend and see if she could do something for us.
Re: Potential sessions for the coming month (s)
by all means, but I don't think teh Jenolan caves side of things is the issue, more the organising from this side, they have already meantion (last year) that private tours with tripods is cool. gerry's photography journey

Re: Potential sessions for the coming month (s)I am also keen on these Gerry. Some steel wool may also be tempting for the SriLankan wizard.

Re: Potential sessions for the coming month (s)
Steel wool, National Parks and High Summer may not be the most compatible combination Greg

Re: Potential sessions for the coming month (s)As the 22nd is a Sunday, I assume you mean the 21st. I'm in.
FWIW there is a private observatory just around the corner. It used to be open to the public, but the owners sold up a year or so ago. Not sure what the situation is with the new owners. Greg

Re: Potential sessions for the coming month (s)
Greg, it will most likely be the saturday night, if the conditions are good it could well extend into the 22nd ![]() Interestign info about that observatory, a real shame its potentialy closed, any chance of giving me a name, I may well give them a tingle. gerry's photography journey
