Right, here we go... photo time!
One of the highlights of the day I think, was Alex trying to be all, "Oh look at me, look at me, I have a cool remote and stuff, I'm special, look at me..." ....... and then he failed :D
It was a great day. Wonderful to catch up with everyone. Loads of egregious behaviour toward the end of dinner, with Gerry being renamed "Big Bad Wolf". I shall let Judi, Gerry and Alex elaborate further...

It really was! Karekare was a tiny bit of a let down, but the fab company made up for it in spades :) |

Knees and thighs are fine, I could do with more sleep though!
It was a fun day, despite the occasional period of light drizzle and the gentle breeze. It's always fun to meet new people and discuss the finer details of "real photography".
I look forward to the next GTG when we can do the fun things again: eating sand, playing follow-the-leader in dead-ends, passing children over rivers, the blurry bird photos, not to mention, checking out the bods in the kitchen.
I'm also happy to say that after having Judi in my car for most of the day I can't find a single bruise - maybe her bark is worse than her bite after all?! |

Sweet. Now it's perfect for a challenge. You forgot to use the chin reduction tool though. Might get dinged a few points for that. |

It is too bad you guys were not all in Wellington yesterday, You wouldn't have needed to add the little sunny face to your photo, It was real nice down here. The weather you guys had looks about the same as When we were showing Judi the Wellington Bays last week. Glad to hear everyone had a good time and that no one got kicked, whipped or suffered any bites. lol way to behave Judi....

Have you ever been to Auckland, that's the real sun - it's like that. We have a very friendly sun up this way. |

lol yes I have been to Auckland many times. I guess I just never paid attention to the sun while I was there. Making note to take a closer look next time I am there.

I couldn't agree more especially about the sleep. Like a certain article of equipment I had on the day, I took a little while to get going yesturday. It was brilliant meeting you all. It was a real laugh. I'm looking forward to the next discussion on the Art of Real Photography :))
Thanks to that Aussie chick  for giving us an excuss to get together.
But for some it was all a little too much 
Great also to meet Rina's daughter too & to see that she really isn't just a blur.
