![]() I live by a simple saying "Give a man a fish feed them for a day, teach them to fish feed them for life"
So Im looking for fellow Aucklander's who would be willing to spend time teaching me what they know. I can read but learn best by been shown or having things explained person to person. Hell I have even rung proffesional people and offered to pay them but no one wants my money. Tony

![]() Tony,
I'd like to help, but obviously you really need to talk to someone in Auckland. I'm happy to talk with you on the phone, and I'll be in Auckland in December, so maybe we could meet up then. In the meantime, good luck! If you have a specific request, you can email me. cheers Phil

![]() There was a thread a couple of weeks back where several NZ people met up and got drunk and naked (or maybe I'm thinking of some other event!!!!) Maybe they just looked at and played around with at each others equipment (or maybe I'm thinking of some other event!!!!)
![]() Anyway, seemed like a friendly bunch. I think there were some images in the people section. Be worth doing a seach on some keywords like ...erm ... NZ, or something. I know Wazza (username) was involved as he had a daft old lens and took some good shots with it. Search for his user name. Maybe one of them is near Aukland. |

![]() Hi Tony! I'm from Auckland (Eastern suburbs.) I've been taking photos almost all of my life, but quite a newbie to doing things the manual way -- thanks to digital cameras I don't have to worry about the cost of processing!
![]() There are quite a number of photography clubs in the country. Have a look at: http://www.ivan.co.nz/ClubIndex.htm to find one nearest you -- there are 4 camera clubs in Auckland: Manukau, North Shore, Henderson, and Howick. I'm thinking of joining the Howick Camera Club (http://www.howickcameraclub.org.nz/index.html) as they meet 3 times a month... though I don't plan on being there that often ![]() Now, back to finding a job. It's a bummer when you're made redundant! Cheers! John |

![]() Im in Mangere. I guess my biggest problem is Portraits in our lounge at night. just cant seem to get the lighting right. I have a Sunpack 455 Tri flash with a white unmbrella, an assortment of other lights. Im getting better, but Im still missing some key in my understanding about light shutter speed a F stops.I know what they all do but Im waiting for that "eurika" "click" to go off in my head.
I dont have a light meter / flash meter so to an extent im shooting in the dark (excuse pun. Night is the only time when my wife is able to be my model (mind you she did say last night I need to get a model, umm I dont think she would be happy with a 18yr old babe in the house). I cant post pictures of our shoots as the arrangement was she would pose but I was not allowed to let anyone else see them. So that makes it a little harder for people to help. I have to respect her wishes or get a 18yr old babe ![]()

I don't actually remember getting drunk or naked for that matter, but the guys on the outing are a great bunch and I'm sure will be able to help. Myself, I'm generally a portrait-free zone so not going to be much use to you - I have a 380EX but it gets very little use. Most of my photos' are landsacapes, aircraft etc where I have no control whatever on the lighting other than just turning up & hoping it's okay! cheers.

It will be very difficult to control all that flash light without a flash meter though. You should be able to get something OK with one flash and a brolly. Can you post an example? Might be able to swing by at some point, nights are best for my busy scehdule! From your lens collection, I would pick the EF50, and stop it down a bit

Sounds like we might have to have another Meet? Say start of December before everyone buggers off for Xmas?

![]() A get togather would be a great idea. Its funny I did some portrait pics last night, afterwards I wondered if I was any good at photographing people. I find my nature photos far better maybe its because im a nature person not a people person and it shows in my photography.
Just a thought.

![]() I'm also a nature/landscape photographer. I hate shooting people, as it's really hard trying to get everyone to do what you want.
At least mountains and lakes don't move around. Another get together would be great. I should be meeting Matt sometime soon, if we're both not too busy, as we often are.
