Here's some of mine. I had a great time today and am glad we were able to get together! Even with the rain, it was a blast.

Vikas, nice shots! Thanks for posting them!

Learning the skills of taking photographs in rain from Gary


This was not taken with the group. I decided to pull over while driving back home - to capture the fallen leaves

You've never met Gary/eqsite...he's libel to shut it on you. ;-)

A Ziplock? You may want to consider a garbage bag....!

Have fun and try to stay dry! Maybe you should plan an indoor venue as an alternative.

Geeze, no faith! I've got a Ziplock, I'm cool. Haha, more likely if it's raining that hard, my camera will stay in the bag and I'll just enjoy the scenery.

I think so too! :-)

Heavy rain and strong winds make for horizontal rain...which makes for wet equipment. Hope you have insurance. :-)

I'll see what's going on tomorrow. Maybe I'll give eqsite a call and at least meet you for lunch. No promises though.

Good luck!

Looks good to me!!
I've never shot in the rain before, always been too terrified to. You guys will have to give me some pointers!

I can't go. My wife's coming in tonight and will be around until Sunday. I think she'd shoot (not with a camera) me if I were to abandon her for taking pictures. Sorry guys. Have fun though.
10/27/2006 01:45:45 PM · #11
Thanks!. never been there ..should be fun ! See you guys there!

I will shoot an email to Zeke and Dave (both from Ithaca) and see if they are interested

Which one is the Treeman Marine though? Is it the one next to the Boat Yard Grill?


Glad you're coming! The park is a bit beyond the Boat Yard Grill. Continue North on 89 past the ice rink and the entrance is just before the Hangar Theatre. Here's a map:

Tomorrow's Forecast:

A steady rain in the morning. Showers continuing in the afternoon. High near 45F. SE winds shifting to WSW at 15 to 25 mph. Rainfall may reach one inch.

This will be fun! So make sure you dress appropriately.

I'd like to get a final show of hands for who is still in for this. So far I have the following as committed rain or shine:

Me, KaDi, OdysseyF22

ButterflySis is undoubtedly a no given the forecast (I can't really blame her, but it's fun to rib her about it).

Vikas, are you in?

Jen, you also said there were others interested. Are they hardy (or foolhardy) enough to show up in this weather?
10/27/2006 12:00:40 AM · #16
Jen, you're not playing "Kodachrome" for mood music, are you?

....all the world's a sunny day, oh, yeah....
;-)

Perfect for the Wind challenge :)

We'll miss you if you stay home.

I'm heading north earaly tomorrow morning. I plan to meet up with you all at 7 am Saturday morning at Treman Marine. I'm sure I'll be able to check in at least once or twice before then...so post here if anything changes. Looking forward to the trip! See you soon!
10/25/2006 10:44:06 PM · #20
Sure, we can meet at Wagners and I can show you a few places in the FLNF....but, if it rains I won't be goin'. Sorry guys!
10/25/2006 11:21:18 AM · #21
Looks great to me! I'm in for sure. Although there's a 70% chance of rain right now...hopefully that will change!

Does the marina at sunrise interest anyone? I'm certainly not married to the idea so please speak up if you have any other ideas?

I'm also wondering given the new "Vertical Landscape" challenge if anyone is interested in going back to Taughannock? I know we've all shot that to death but you have to admit it was made for this challenge! We could always hit this on the way back to town from FLF if that's where we end up.

Here's a proposed agenda -- please feel free to comment as I'm only posting this as a starting point:

7:00 - 8:00 -- meet and shoot at Treman Marine Park
8:00 - 8:45 -- carpool over to vineyards on east side of Seneca (Jen, maybe we could meet you at Wagners parking lot?)
8:45 - 11:00 -- shoot roadside vineyards and maybe some wineries
11:00 - 12:00 -- get lunch at one of the wineries
12:00 - 12:30 -- drive over to some part of Finger Lakes Forest (Jen could maybe offer a suggestion as to where?)
12:30 - 3:00 -- explore and shoot Finger Lakes Forest
3:00 - 3:30 -- drive to Taughannock
3:30 - 5:00 -- shoot Taughannock
5:00 - 5:15 -- return to Treman Marine Park
