Carsten, when will you leave the house and get there? I could meet you at your house and we could go together. Otherwise, have we fixed a meeting time and location for the main-event?
Something else: who will be available for dinner (say at 8 or 8:30 pm)? I do have a very nice Greek restaurant in mind, located in Kreuzberg, so it is quite central for everyone. It is very small though and I would have to reserve a table.
@jotdeh: I will bring a small and light travel tripod, but it is quite low. We could share it, I shoot without most of the time.
Sorry for being so out of touch, my life is truly moving too fast at the moment and I am having to schedule times to breathe...
I would like to meet in the morning. I am still undecided if I should take my car or trust the BVG, although I am leaning towards taking my car. I just need to not lock the key inside like I did last time I drove outside of Berlin
I would say that meeting at 8.30 or 9.00 around Frankfurter Tor might be a good compromise for those in the south and north, and gives us a good start for driving there. Who wants to join? JD, Heinz, Philippe?
JD, do you have an Arca-style plate for your camera?
All: I'll reserve a table for 6 persons then. My wife will also come, so it's her, Carsten, LurkerX and me and I am quite sure that Philippe will also join us (at least I hope so). That makes 5. Please let me know if any one else is coming.
Sounds good. I am just afraid that 9.00 turns to 9.10 before the first shows up, 9.20 before the second and so on, and in the end we find only 1 1/2 hours to shoot instead of 2 1/2
Guys, unfortunate timing coincidences and events have been piling up these last few days, and I have to bail out. Apologies and regrets to all. Make some great pics, and see you next time!
I changed the reservation for the restaurant to 8 persons. Seven persons have confirmed that they will join.
If any of the usual suspects from Berlin lurks this thread and cannot come to the main event, feel free to join us for dinner, but please send me a note via PM or here in the thread.
Sorry I didn't have any internet access the past 36 hours.
I would also like to join for the dinner if it's possible!
I will be at Frankfurter Tor a bit before 9am then.
And thanks for the offers to share tripods - I don't have any plate for my 5DII though. Will just see what can be done tomorrow, and if it's not practical then nevermind, I'll just bump up the ISO
