Arie-
Well, I am still game for carpooling or what not. I'll check email/this forum/IMs for any last minute updates. If I don't hear from you by 6, I'll meet you at the McDonalds off the 5 at Roxford at 7:30. I plan to be on the road by 6:15 at the latest.

Me too! We used to watch them film Lassie in the area.
Get there early, before the light gets to harsh and beware this is rattlesnake season! They should be shedding right now which makes them slightly more aggressive. (This is one of those Important things you learn growing up in the So Cal desert.) Wish I could be there, this is a beautiful area. |

7:30am at McDonald's it is! See you there! I wonder if we could leave our cars there all day if we carpool? I don't mind caravaning though. I WILL bring my sunblock, a sandwich and water :)
Yay!!!

Arie-
Forgot to tell you but thanks for doing all the driving today. I appreciate it! I'm going to start working on my pictures now and I still need to post pictures from Venice. I'm slacking! Thanks again, it was great seeing everyone and meeting a new buddy, Chuck!

Eric, Arie & Gary:
Just wanted to say thanks for letting me join you guys on this GTG... It was definitely a lot of fun, and WAY too hot. I'm going to go through my pics tonight and hopefully I will have some posted soon.

BTW, Chuck, my name is Greg, LOL! :) No worries. I guess I kinda mumbled my name in the McD's parking lot and at Vasquez.
I had a blast despite the heat. Arie's car registered 106º when we left Vasquez and I don't doubt it. Looking forward to our next meet and hopefully in cooler weather.

WOO! I'm finally caught up with my post-processing! I think I made some of them a wee bit too dark and some of them a wee bit too light. Let me know what you think. Hope you like them! :)

Greg
The photos turned out great -- makes me homesick. I sure didn't appreciate them when I was living there. Sounds like you all had a good time! |

Greg, great shots!!! Ignore my post on the other thread about asking you when you are posting.
Wow, your DOF is excellent and your colors are very vivid and popping. You did excellent!!!! I think you really captured the beauty of that place. I didn't get close, but I had fun... you really did it!!! Great job! |

Are the LA folks OK? I know you are having fires again; I was down there during the last ones and see that they are close to some of your areas and where you've been.

Hey, thanks for thinking of us. I think the Lake Hughes fire is not too far from Vasquez Rocks where we were. Eric and I are the closest to it, but still far enough away for it to be any kind of problem. Greg and Arielle are even further away. Thanks for the thought.

Good! Thanks for letting us know. I knew you were down very close there last weekend. Say hi to everyone!

Thanks for the comments, Arie and Debi! I'm still learning what this camera can do and how to properly meter light especially with the polarizer as it's quite tricky.
Kylie, I'm not very close to those fires but Eric and Chuck are but even then I think they are far enough away from them so they are very safe. You are correct that the Lake Hughes fire is close to our last meeting place, Vasquez Rocks.
Thanks for thinking about us! :)

I can see the smoke from here, but it's not close enough to affect my day to day routine. It's sad though... :(
