Grattan 2008 Interested in practicing your photo skills?

nhfirefighter13 · 12-23-2007, 07:31 PM

I've been bouncing around an idea for the last few days and haven't come to any sort of conclusion so I'll just ask and see if there is any interest.

Would anyone be interested in spending some time out in a corner or two with me during Grattan? It would be a good opportunity to get out there and maybe practice your shooting technique. You'd have to provide your own gear but assuming it's ok with Abtech, I wouldn't mind taking one or two people out with me and answering questions or providing some advice on how to shoot motorcycles at the track.

You'd be stuck out there for at least a session or two depending on the corner.

Thoughts?

Can you teach me?

That's an awesome idea NH, and really nice of you!

Most definitely!

I'm sure MrsSeamus will jump at the chance.

nhfirefighter13 · 12-23-2007, 09:50 PM

cool! Make sure to bring your camera gear then. SLR's are best but we can make due with most cameras that have manual or semi-manual settings.

Hammer · 12-23-2007, 09:54 PM

I promise to not clean the lens in your presence.

Just be sure to wear camo so Phobe won't be too distracted posing for that perfect shot.

She has a D20. And an extra lens she bought from Sheep at Grattan last year.

Plus, she found a local class here that she's going to take so it should make a nice progression for her.

I was thinking hunter orange or maybe red.

She'll get plenty of practice with her panning technique.

Hammer · 12-24-2007, 11:32 AM

HEY!! That's my wife you're talking about.

nhfirefighter13 · 12-24-2007, 11:36 AM

heh. I'm not too sure we'd have many volunteers at Grattan to practice that.

What's your point?

Hammer · 12-24-2007, 11:37 AM

NH is on the way back from Grattan is it not?

nhfirefighter13 · 12-24-2007, 11:38 AM

I think I speak for all of us when I say we have no interest in seeing any nude shots of you.

How did I know this was going to come up? I am not planning on being the subject of the shoot.

the one picture of your shaved naked dog is more than enough.

and she would be more than welcome to borrow any of my other lenses. I even have an IS version similar to hers (the reason I no longer needed that one)

Shenders1 · 12-25-2007, 11:48 AM

I'd be very interested. I may need a gear upgrade first, but I'm up for it.
