Kings Park Lights - loopy - Mar 30, 2005

I was just searching around a Perth tourism site, looking for any up-coming events that I can get out to photograph. I noticed that on the 9th of April, there's an event called "Kings Park Lights" - do any of you locals know what this is about, and is it worth going to get some pics?

Cheers,


Brad

Sounds interesting! Big Grin

Supposedly its to celebrate Easter, I think you may have found the weekend for 2004. There are heaps of interesting lights on there already. Have you been for a look around dusk? We could always have a bit of a social gathering to shoot the park one night and have a coffee if anyone is interested.

Let's do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My tripod will arrive by April 10th Tongue


Kings Park Lights - StudioJ - Mar 30, 2005

I've got a shoot on the 10th have to be on the 9th, weekend after I have a wedding so no go again. I'd love to shoot something without people in it! I was looking at the dramatic clouds today and thinking "ha I'm going to shoot them and post something on here showing that I do go outside without a model attached to my hip" and guess what.. I got busy, had two models come to pick up photos then made dinner :/

Oh and I have a quality spare tripod if anyone needs one for the day Smile

awww.. we can't do it just before my new camera arrives!
There's a chance it will be here for the weekend of the 9th-10th, but more likely sometime during the week of the 11th.

Can't we get the Perth council to re-schedule the event? Wink

In all seriousness, sounds like a great idea. Even if I have to settle for using my current camera <sigh> Wink

And Jamie, I think I have the opposite problem to you. I often look at my photos and think I should take photos with people in them! Next time you have a couple of skimpy models "attached to your hip" and want to get rid of them... gimme a call and I'll swap places with you - you can go take some landscapes! Big Grin

I always bring my camera with me to uni;
Yesterday I wasn't going to, I thought 'what if I miss a good shot?'
and; I came home, with no pictures.
Today, I didn't bring my camera; and oh Sad
In the morning (while I was driving to uni) were some interesting clouds; but no camera with me.

I studied until about 9pm, then was eating my food about to go home...
Then I remember my friend's Chinese Language club watching movies, so I went to see; and he was wearing chinese costume!@#@!#!@ #! and I didn't have my camera Sad
I asked him to wear it to uni next week, but he said no Sad

Then I watched movies until 11 and then had to drive home very slowly because of the rain;
Rain makes the road reflective, and the buildings in the city, you can't see the tops of!

Hey guys,

Thanks for the heads up - I just had a quick check, and it does look like that site was talking about 2004 Rolleyes I'd love to get together with a group to take some photos, but unfortunately I'm on deployment for three weeks to near Exmouth, starting on the 16th of April (Saturday). If it's any time before, or after I get back, that'd be cool. Smile

Cheers,


Brad


Kings Park Lights - StudioJ - Mar 30, 2005

Ok so how about tentatively...

When: April 9th 2005 - 5pm
Where: Kings Park, Lookout platform opposite Frasers Restaurant
Duration: 90 minutes + coffee

I think its a good time of day, gives the entire golden hour plus a bit of time after dusk once the lights on Fraser Ave light up plus the monuments and of course the spectacular city view.

Give me something I can put on a transfer to stick onto a shirt and I'll wear one (doesn't have to suit white, I have black transfers too)

Kings Park Lights - loopy - Mar 31, 2005

Thanks Christian, looking at it now.

Count me in for the 9th - will be good to meet other people with an interest in photography. It's rather ironic though - this week and next week we have a couple of guys here on a round the world tour trying to sell us a new model plane. I was taking a couple of snaps of it, and their chief pilot comes up and says "Hey is that a D70? Nice camera!" and we had a bit of a chat. It's definitely a small world!

Cheers,


Brad

Sounds good to me. I'm in.


Kings Park Lights - adam - Mar 31, 2005

I've got a mid sem exam on the 16th; and have to ask my parents;
but for the moment, I'll say "I'm in!"

I'll lure Peter also!


Kings Park Lights - shuttertalk - Mar 31, 2005

Cool... where is he these days? Big Grin

Don't forget Lak (Long)... Big Grin


Kings Park Lights - adam - Mar 31, 2005

I'll lure Laksa as well!
Hopefully!
tee-hee-hee Big Grin


Kings Park Lights - patch17 - Mar 31, 2005

hmmm... sounds good.

i'm game as well.

can i bring my family along?


Kings Park Lights - StudioJ - Mar 31, 2005

I'll probably have my family there, kids can run around and enjoy themselves while the men point cameras at trees and look silly.


Kings Park Lights - shuttertalk - Mar 31, 2005

You bringing any models too, J Big Grin


Kings Park Lights - StudioJ - Mar 31, 2005

If it goes well I was thinking of doing that next time, might pick a different location. Just a couple of girls who need some exposure. I have a friend who runs another website that wants some girl profiles so he is keen on the idea as well.

I have two spare reflectors so shouldn't be hard as long as someone wants to play assistant at the same time.


Kings Park Lights - byrt_001 - Mar 31, 2005

loopy

take care
