Mark - we are always looking for locations to shoot. We've done everything from Mt. Diablo to Chinatown New Years; kite festivals to Pt. Reyes and more.

I see you're a skateboarder, among other pursuits. If you knew where we could shoot some skateboarding, I'll bet we could draw a big Bay Area crowd.

Throw out some ideas!

have you been to the ALbany Bulb pobbly? Someone went in and built a real nice bowl in the middle of all this industrial Art. Let me know when you shoot, I am always looking for places to go too. Send me a PM when you go out, Ill see if I can join work permitting. :)

Thanks Alice...didn't know about the "watch" feature but now I do :)

Probably the best way to keep track is to put this thread on "watch". And also, sometimes Bay Area people remember to post on the Yahoo Group that someone started a long time ago.

We've got some terrific DPCers here in the Bay Area; welcome aboard!

Great to meet you all, and looking forward to the next one. Finally found some time to process a few pics ...

A few more of you fine people.



One from the drive to McClure's. :)
I'll try to do more tommorrow. It was a great time.

I just got home. I haven't had a chance to look at my images, except to chimp them in the car. I'm hoping some of mine are half as good as yours. You sure have some awesome shots.

Thanks, Phillip, for putting this all together. It was wonderful to meet you all. I'd love to get another chance to meet up with you and get to know you better. With the eating, shooting and traveling, there just wasn't enough time for talking. Next time....

Since my computer is still in the shop, I'm editing and posting from my wife's laptop (thank you, honey!) which means no PS and no Raw images! So, here are some of the photos I took with my new P&S SamsungNV7Ops which I'm quickly coming to appreciate very much. When the fixit boys cough up my computer I'll post the others.

These first ones are from the drive over along the beautiful Point Reyes - Petaluma Rd



Here's my rendition of the picnic. I think you know everyone's names by now.





One from the beach


I really enjoyed meeting everyone and had a great time. Looking forward to the next one. I also thought we should go to Yosemite! I say we book a campsite for next Spring and do an overnighter. Maybe late May or early June? Who's up for it?

Thanks to Phil for doing such a great job organizing all of us, and for putting the day together.

Great photos, everyone! Here's a batch of people shots from the GTG:











Edit to add that last one of Joe. Don't know how I forgot he was in that shot.

Wow, Alice, those were the most flattering photos you took of me yesterday? I have got to work on being more photogenic. ;-) And I am never volunteering to be on the end in a wide-angle shot again!

Seriously, thanks for posting all of those photos. It's great to have individual shots of everyone like that.


Thanks, Phil. It was fun getting the shots.
And as long as those dimples of yours stay in good shape,
you don't need to worry about being photogenic!

Love your recap of the day. Great to see the group together and the individual shots came out great. Thank you!

I just got in from my ridiculously early appointment and will start going through the photos now. Hey, Joe, show everyone the celebrity photo you got yesterday. :-)


Hey, wow. Was that the legendary Bill Russell of Basketball fame?


There's no need to be sarcastic, Alice. ;-) Unless some of you guys hurry up and become famous, years from now I'll be telling my grandkids about the trip I took to Point Reyes with Bill Russell.

I want to thank you for a marvelous day! I enjoyed meeting everyone so much and am looking forward to the next get together (Yosemite sounds good to me!). I happy with the results of my photo and have posted a few (well maybe more than a few...lol) of my favorites here (except of course...my Free study entry :)for this month)






My one capture of the lighthouse didn't turn out well :(...I see now from some your images...I probably should have went the distance...
Looking forward to seeing the group shot.
Eve

PS..Just realized I only took 118 images so I am VERY pleased with how many came out.

Hi. We had a great time Sunday, even my wife Cindy enjoyed the gathering. Everyone, I hope to get together again some time, maybe closer to Fresno. A Yosemite GTG might be a nice idea some day.

I learned about shooting in the fog. I was originally concerned about lack of light, but found the images were too light. So, the experience became an exercise in trying lotsa settings.

We were wondering what happened to you, Brennan! They really need a sign before Pierce Point Road to warn people that it's coming up. As you know, it's very easy to miss. And William left a message saying that his allergies forced him to leave McClure's Beach after a short time.

It was great meeting everyone! Great company more than made up for the lousy weather on the coast!!

I didn't make it back to Cupertino until 10:30pm last night (had to grab some sunset/night shots of the GG bridge). I haven't even looked at my pics yet. :-( I'll be posting some tonight hopefully.
