My date has now changed to the 15th due to lack of interest.. and various other events.

K

OK thanks Karl. Shame there wasn't more interest, I was looking forward to it as well
But I'll still come on the 16th

Hi everyone !

I just realized that there is a group of people who join to make pictures of different things in Basel and I wonder if i can join sometime with you.
I love to make pictures but i dont have a professional camera.. mine is just a simple digital camera. Is that ok? or could i just join to see what technichs do you use?..

Hopefully i see all of you in the next meeting!

Roxy

Hi Roxy.
Everyone is welcome, as long they can promise to be a good company
There are a lot of different people, with different cameras, the cameras are not the the biggest point, we even let people with Canon join us

Dude, Street Parade is 8/8
We are talking about 24/7

Hi,

or those slumming it with Nikons....just kidding. Though I am out earlier in the evening on the 24th if we finish early enough I will come along. I can give you a call if I can make it.

Have fun

Martin

Hope you can make it Martin. Assuming people are up for it this could possibly go on till quite late, I've been out till the wee small hours doing this type of shooting before now!

Ah, you know I was going to ask about that. I guess this answers my forthcoming question on whether to drive or take the train...

Ahh... yeah... probably not the train, but if you have a care, then it is a go!

I do. It's a go.

How's the parking around the train station? Dodgy or not?

hi guys,

can someone from zurich join you guys? although, i need a place to crash afterwards, i promise i will behave myself, given as I don't have way too much beer that night

Looks like I got my dates confused. Unfortunately I can't make it on friday as I have to take my GF to the airport really early the next day.

Thank You Begga!... so i will join the photoclub in the next meeting... but when is it?.. I hope it does not cross with anything else.

Greeting for everyone!

Roxana

There's a big multi story across the road, although I'm not sure how much it costs. Just follow the signs for 'Bad. Bahnhof' and '(P) Messe' from the the motorway, and the car park entrance is actually on the slip road of the motorway.
Hope this helps

Hi Nathan,

You're more than welcome to join us, the more the merrier!
Although I'm afraid I can't offer you a place to crash afterwards, sorry

Hi Roxana,

Here's a link to the next meet - http://www.englishforum.ch/calendar....=2009-7-24&c=1

Hope this helps

Hi guys.
Few of us meet tonight to organize the group better, and we had loads of idas for the Basel group, so watch out Basel, we will have a lot to do!!!

Capture the spirit of Swiss National day

August 1st is swiss National day and the evening before (31st) and the day itself normally have lots of activities going on. For example, the fireworks over the Rhine.

Why not capture what you think are the best 5 photos that you take on those days which capture the spirit and feeling of the day. It can be people,events, fireworks...what ever you think.

But the pictures must have been taken either the 31st of July or 1st of August.

Post them to the Flickr group naturally comment on each others photos. Anyone can do it whatever camera you have...it is more about capturing the feeling.

Have fun
Martin

P:S Karl could I suggest this also for the Zurich group ?

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know anywhere that sells a good range of filters please?
I went looking for ND filters at the weekend, but Marlin and Fotohaus here in Basel only sold ND4s (2 stops) for my lenses (58mm).

I'd like get higher rated ND filters, maybe a 5 and a 10 stop.

Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Chris

Hi Chris,

after seeing what you were able to do with the ND 4 I went down to Marlin this afternoon and ordered an ND 8 which should be here in the next few days...it is also 58mm. They will order anything if they don't have it stock...they just ask for a small payment up front.

Have fun

Martin
