Some dodgy bloke that has a vision problem judging by the size of the advertising on his vehicle

I guess I might be try to pop in to spell check it for him..

Marked in my diary -- I'll be there with the better half and our kit.
It'll be great to meet some faces behind the names and expand the social circle of common interest.

Hi Fozzie,
I'll come along. I hope the expected rain doesn't become a problem.

Daniel

Wish i could come along, but i have to work that day, maybe next time

Fozzie, Paul will be there as well and maybe Mark...

Hello everyone - I have updated the list of the newbies and members attending this weekend's event, together with the undecided. Also posted within the thread is the meeting place, together with a link to the Adelaide Zoo, to enable you to print a map if required.

fozzie

Have fun guys. I will be in the thriving metropolis of Karoonda at a kids netball training camp thing. Wish I could be there!
Lee

What a great day Good to meet the new ones and all the old faces. (Even "the cougar" made a mystery appearance )

Virg you will be happy to know I buggered up the RAW buffer test we did ! I Had the thing shooting RAW + Fine JPG at the same time, so it was saving 2 files of each image....
Some of my results.







Its amazing what the 300 2.8 can pick up


**Just noticed my Auto-watermarker was in fine form without me asking it to do anything.. Oh well, too slack to repost them!

Another great day out with people who share the same interest, in a very relaxing environment . It was also a pleasure to meet new member Rob (RDW) and wife Lee.

Here is a sample of my efforts from the day:

Thanks for an excellent day guys, stayed till closing time with fozzie and got some awesome overcast light on the lionesses, was very dark tho shooting as low as 1/80th @ f4 at iso 400.

some samples.




And a teaxture shot i liked


Cheers
Adam

Great shots all. Some very similar...

I've put up my shots.

BigV shooting one of the most ferocious animals...




Daniel

Very nice results from every body... once again I was prepared to take one for the team! Had a good time and really enjoyed the laughs as well as the shooting. Question -how many of you found unexpected frames on your camera? At least when I was testing yours the subjects were a bit more interesting than a bloody streets ice cream sign...Brook - oh well user error on your part, you still lose . Now I better go and cull the 200 junk frames and do some posting...

Big V,

Not me, although this sounds like a familiar story ie. Rundle Mall sometime ago when I went to the toilet. And it is a situation whereby 'The Pot Is Calling The Kettle Black'

Nice Big cat Photos. Nice capture on the yawn

I wondered how 223 images of a rather attractive young lady got on my CF card?????
And another hundred or so of a rubbish bin...
Never leave your camera laying around when the "cougar" is on the prowl.....

At least the photos you find on your camera are worthy of being there - and you can always send them to Rob in Whyalla!!! The rubbish bin shots were done by Paul
Here are a few from the meet..
