C Side Early Dinner then cruise to city for photos
We will meet up at Cside restaurant 110 General Holmes Drive Kyeemagh (Brighton Le Sands) for Dinner around 6:00pm. The staff at Cside said it is up to us we can be seated outside on the tables out front or we can use the function room next door if it is a cold evening.Below is the proposed spot that Andy came up with great spot. Andy has also offered to help others to set up their cameras for night shots this should be a fun night and we should get some priceless pics.
If you have a bi pod for your Camera bring it along

IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT GOOD PICTURES
For anyone that's serious in taking some decent shots, i can teach u to make professional looking shots, then bring theses items along if u can...
#Tripod
#DSLR camera with all your lenses ( whether its 1 lens or more!)
(DSLR Refers to your Digital camera that takes lenses)
#Remote cable (if u have one it makes life a hell of a lot easier)
#External Flash, if u have one. Top pop up flash will be no good for flashing the whole car BUT it's better than nothing
#A bright portable light, big torch, or focusable style light which will be used for colouring in your car with light whilst the shutter is open, but u can use a flash as well!
If u have only a compact camera then just try and bring a tripod
Check if your camera has a 'B' symbol on your DIAL or in your MENU, this stands for BULB, which means you can hold your shutter open for as long as u like (that's where a remote comes in handy so there is no camera shake from handling the camera photo button).
Some Compact cameras also have this function so if you want to try using your little snappy cam check to see if it has this function
The reason u need a tripod is because the shutter (the thing that lets light into the camera to make a photo) will be open for a number of seconds, so if there is any movement of the camera (wind, hand shake) the pictures will be blurry. To counteract that you can use your TIMER button instead of holding your finger on the photo trigger button (which will cause camera shake thus blur)
With compact and DSLR cameras, If you just take a photo with everything on automatic at night time then the pictures will look like crap and you won't see the bridge and opera house because the only thing that will be lit up will be the side of the car facing you and everything else will be black.
So hopefully if you are using a compact camera we can leave the flash off, put the ASA (or ISO) at as low as possible
ASA or ISO is a measurement of how the camera calculates the sensitivity of the camera to the light available. The lower the number the less picture grain the higher the quality of the photo!
Ok I need a nap now, I've talked for to long!
-
My compact digital and small tripod are ready...Hope we have a clear night
-
:thank: Andy but that means a whole lot of nothing to me so you will definitely be helping me :cool:

I saw a movie once where this guy was called the tripod... :lol: :thank: :thumb: :bolt:
I'll understand if you delete this. :giggle:
-
Great lesson Andy still think most photos will be crap anyway
unless you got 12800-25600 iso in your body
like to try some time during daylight torches oh yeah
Am shopping for a full frame used.

If its not too windy on sunday your great pic will be the standard to match
I can do with some camera lessons
-
Would have really liked to make it to this run. John is racing karts at Lithgow & we wont get back home till late.
Be sure to post up your photos, the cars should look awesome with that background. Thats a real nice pic Yvette. Did you take it?
Have fun guys.

Whenever I do night stuff I use 100ASA which all cameras have! F22 for upto 20sec exposures. That photo is actually very easy to achieve Les! With the cars we will probably do exposures of 1 minute or so, so u can paint your cars with a torch! So hopefully someone brings a good torch.
-
LOL Col, no it's a internet pic!
-
Maria and I will be there for this one sounds like a good night see you all there. :smilies:
-
Can't make this one :cry: but will be coming to the movie night at Mick & Yvettes :cool:
Danny and Kim

I'm going to weld the Engine mount today and we'll be there,, :burnout: Barbralea will bring her camera equipment too, as she is excited to gain more knowledge about her DSLR equipment... :thumb:
These Nightshots will look great.. :cool:
-
Photo location is
the end of BLUES POINT ROAD, McMAHONS POINT (North Sydney)
Just a big reminder
there is a toll involved in going to the photo site
The area is at the end of Blues point rd North Sydney so we will be going over the Harbour bridge and through the Eastern Distributer!

What a great turn out for Cside the food was great and the discount was very generous.
The photo shoot was fun but I am very disappointed with my pics from what I seen I think Margaret did a better job with her IPhone than I did with my camera.Hope the rest of you guys did ok.
-
I thought yours would look great, what happened?
Anyway Here is a great shot of the Cars, Be jealous anyone who didnt turn up!!!

OMG Andy thats a great shot, some of us obviously need to have some lessons and probably read our instructions book, that would help!
-
Andy top pic .the theatrics were impressive
Had you the time yourself to take some pics
but we appreciate your enthusiasm to make us
enjoy our efforts to get that perfect result
I have not checked mine as yet but the tripod thing
is a must thanks again maybe we can grab another sunday
in the future
:bow:
-
Great pic Andy, the guy behind the camera must have known how to push a button pretty good. Most of mine turned up under exposed but a couple don't look too bad.(http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac170/lazy1969/IMG_0466_zpsadfec48b.jpg)

Those pix r good Craig, just a little under exposed, I could probably tweak them a bit to get them better if you can put them on a USB stick or something? Same with you Yvette.
Can't wait to see yours Les, your looked good on your little screen!

Were the fireworks photoshopped, or timed to coincide with the regular 9pm show?

well I'm pis%^# just got 2 toll fines for the event
such is sydney it sucks
I knew I had to pay the bridge plus admin costs
but today got an eastern distributor fine of $16
after I paid the other m5 costs as cash $7.60+ 4.40+ 4.40 plus $16 just for a road trip
I dont think I used the eastern distributer coming down from liverpool
using the M5 unless theres a toll before you reach the bridge and then the bridge toll double wammy
Can someone explain if thats correct for a trip to north sydney and back
