*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Basel
Event Type: Other
Meeting Point: Bad. Bahnhof Tram Stop

At the request of a couple of Basel photoclub regulars, I've arranged this meet to do some long exposure and night time shooting.

My plan is to start off at the tram stop at Badisher Bahnhof, where there should be plenty of activity to shoot. But if it doesn't work out there's another potentially good spot under the motorway bridge about 10 minutes walk away.

All comers welcome, but don't forget your tripod!
RSVP'd Yes: 5 (4 members and 1 guests) RSVP'd Maybe: 2 (2 members and No guests)
  • BaselLife - Stupid me...I had forgottenthat I am already booked on Friday... but hopefully I will be able to join at some point
  • jalbert - hope I can make it; great opportunity to use my tripod again, if it's not rusted yet :)
RSVP'd No: 4
  • Slaphead - Unfortunately have to be at zurich airport at 6 am the next day
  • swissotter - i am also away but would be up for the one next month :-)
  • Arridge - maybe next time and looking forward to the Herbsfest so we can do some then. Enjoy!
  • bryant - I'd like to come along to your nite shoot if possible, i might learn something, see you all there.
RSVP sign-ups for this event are now closed.

Re: Basel Photoclub - Long Exposure Shoot

Look forward to it, and happy that it is sooner than later!

Just for those who will join and do not live in Basel. Do not confuse to SBB Bahnhof, this would be the German Trainstation in Klein Basel

Thanks Begga, I hadn't thought of that!
Also, for those not familar with the area, this spot has plenty of cover in case it's raining. There's a few covered tram stops, and a largeish canopy running round the station building itself - hopefully we won't need to use any of it though

When in unfamiliar surroundings, I'm usually at the mercy of my GPS and it has certainly led me astray before. Thanks Begga for the heads-up. I'll double check to make sure it takes me to the correct Bahnhof.

Re: Basel Photoclub - Long Exposure Shoot

Yes, I wish I had walked back. I saw the horseguards coming back from the Basel Tattoo and then crossing the Rhein it looked fantastic.

Thanks again Chris...and thanks every one for coming along from Zurich and Berne.

Enjoy the weekend

Martin

Re: Basel Photoclub - Long Exposure Shoot

That was fun. It was nice to meet all of you and I look forward to similar events in the future. Maybe there will actually be pie next time... or better yet.. beer!

Currently, my files are downloading to my hard drive. I'm anxious to see everyone's shots from tonight.

Cheers,
Michael

Karl's on holiday at the moment so it might take a while. Hope you all enjoyed yourselves last night, and I'm looking forward to seeing the pics.
