Munster shooting

440Hz

Hey all!

Just chatting to a few flickrites there and we were thinking of a bit of a photo session. I know the weather isn't ideal but it could be fun anyway.

Seems there are a few forum-heads based in Limerick.. anyone on for something local-ish or even just an evening meetup around CTroy?

If there is a greater interest (eg from greater Munster contingent) then we could make a bigger plan.

Anyway - there's the idea so .. think about it if you like!

Dundhoone

woo hoo !!

Count me in!

Any evening except tuesday.....:)

mitchhendrix

im up for it too!

Enygma

Up for it if I'm available

440Hz

I feel a plan a-formin'

Peteee

I'd be up for it too!

Dundhoone

Weather is due to be fairly okay for the next few days.

Did you make half a plan with those flickr-ites?

Theres probably enough to shoot around castletroy for an hour or two in the evening, between the church /UL/the riverbank walk. Theres also the hurlers for a pint!

I'd love to get other suggestions for locations, apart from UL and the Clare glens, I have yet to be inspired by limerick!

440Hz

No, no real plan yet. Went for a bit of a walkaround with mitchhendrix by the riverbank today.. shots to follow.

Id def be up for a small castletroy meet and a pint and use it as an opportunity to plan a Munster Meet in a more exciting location

paudie

I'd be up for it as well, and I'd second the Clare Glens

mikeanywhere

Defo post up if you are planning something as I am only up the road after all.

Dundhoone

Actually ment to call you to task over the thread title......munster shooting!!!

anyhoo, I think you should suggest a day while we still have ok weather!
Although the weather is always nice in the pub.

Ye have a UL camera club right? Are there many members who post here?

440Hz

Errrr we 'kinda' have a UL Photosoc... things are getting off to a rough start with it this year... UL based photographers on here include moi, Paudie, mitchendrix, Peteee thats it i think.

few more UL photographers on Flickr

Any evening suits me. cept if tis a Thursday Ill have to sip on a coke cos I have singing first thing on friday mornings!!

Dundhoone

Do most of ye student types go home for the weekend?
Otherwise I'd say friday evening but maybe monday would suit the UL'ers more?

Met says dry + odd shower sat & sunday, so maybe nice/okay monday evenin too.

440Hz

Normally I go home, might be around this Friday though. Have yet to hear what the status of my potential visitors are. Ill let you know but yeah Mondays are good

Monday is bad this week on account of the open days...i.e. I might not be here

yeah true. I forgot that.

weather doesnt look too shabby today.. super short notice but i wouldnt mind a stroll around castletroy this evening.. and it being Thurday its kinda inevitable we will end up in Groody at a mini-beers anyway isnt it...

so.... mitch, dundhoone, paudie.. any takers? quick walk around castletroy followed by a warm me up pint in Groody??

Short notice I know so no prob if you wanna plan it for next week. But I think Ill have that as my plan for the evening anyway.. company is always welcome

mikeanywhere

I would make it down but its Galway camera club meet tonight and I want to collect my prize!!

Dundhoone

Righto I'll Pm ya my phone and if you could text me a time that would be great cause I'll be away from the pc for the rest of the day!

Probably wont be back in town till 7 but i'd be up for a walkaround from then on.

440Hz

Light will be fading but sure a quick walk around followed by camera chat in cosy alcohol/beverage serving venue could be fun!

Dundhoone

Any interest in reorganising for an evening this week coming?
Is that soc/club open day just one day or is there stuff on all week?

440Hz

Yup sure. Im on for that. Got some car stuff to organise so not sure yet but might be in Kerry for parts of the week, but I can play that by ear.

The college open days are on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Not sure who is around/gone...

440Hz

So... any takers for this week? weather is supposed to get fairly crap though. But could try an indoor event ??

Dundhoone

Dont suppose you happen to have a fully kitted out studio in the UL Photosoc??

Damn pesky weather!

440Hz

Well we cant access the official UL studio without supervision as far as I know, that would be the pro one. All the photosoc has access to is our Darkroom

mitchhendrix

boo

yeah im up for somethin

dont ask me what though cause im useless for ideas!!

440Hz

*still recovering from shock of 'boo'*

recovery might take some time...

I nominate Dundhoone as the decision maker

lol, see what i did there??? clever eh??

Peteee

I'd be up for something this week

paudie

I'd be up for something, tomorrow is looking ok weather wise, I'm finished at 5.

440Hz

Yeah Im free after 5 today as well...

Dundhoone

errr.......yes boo to the management that wont let ye into the "pro" studio....what do they use it for anyway? nice pics of El presidente?

Im confused now, Paudie are you free tomorrow after 5?

I have photo course this evening..... but if we say tommorrow I can probably get off work early an get back to limerick for half five-ish - does that suit ye ?

If its raining where will we meet?

440Hz

If you mean Weds then I can make it at some point but not sure when. I have one of those 'undefined time' meetings. Ie I dont know when it will start/finish. But I would find you lot at some point

paudie

I did mean tomorrow, but maybe we should leave it until we're all definite.

440Hz

Weds seems good though. Everyone will be back with the open days. Im sure Peteee can make it. Not sure about Mitch but hopefully...
so thats 5 anyway!

Like i said, I might be late but id make it at some point

mitchhendrix

im available wednesday

i might have to scoot off because have to go to a gig in dolans

but im defo up for it!!

paudie

Cool, are we just going to do the river walk so? or wha....?

Dundhoone

Guess it depends on the weather!

If ye are all in college till then maybe we should meet up in the stables (or another pub) and then decide where to go from there?

mitchhendrix

sounds good

440Hz

Sure I have most of your numbers anyway so if I am delayed I can give you a shout and find out where bouts you are!!

mitchhendrix

so whats the plan then time wise and stuff?

440Hz

Booooooo. Right I wont be able to make it... turns out my meeting is 16:45 and in town so by the time its over and Im back out you lot will prob be tucked up in bed or something so... ill have to bow out of this fun booooo

mitchhendrix

boooo katie

lol


sorry

440Hz

Well if you wanna make it later in the evening or just not go home really early I could make it.

paudie

put it off? since Katie is the one who started organising it it'snot the fairest, how about a midday hour down by the river on thurs or fri?

mitchhendrix

yeah leave it for another day

440Hz

Ohhhh now I feel soooo bad for messing up the plan. Weds was the only day I wasnt sure of, and I was waiting to hear what time the meeting was at. sorry lads

but seriously dont feel like you gotta put it off for one person. im know im exciting but

Dundhoone

How about just make it thursday instead?

440Hz

Hehe sounds good!! Ill be filling mine with pictures of Burt just to prove that I ONCE owned a Beetle

Yeah going somewhere could be fun too... riverwalk is getting kinda old. Even if we just took a spin out to Castleconnell or something???
