Sorry I couldn't make it guys.

However I bought (rather impulsively) a new toy on Saturday morning (Canon 24-105 F4 L IS) and I think I would have been pushing my luck to then say to my wife I was going off all afternoon to shoot portraits :)

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

I just want to say thank you to everyone for a brilliant day yesterday !!!!!! Had an absolute blast - and apologies to everyone I offended ;)
Steve - please thank Anna & her friend for their fantastic efforts modelling for us (poor buggers), and thanks to Bernie for his fantastic tutoring !

Anyone who hasn't been along to one of the SEQ minimeets, make the effort - this is a great group of people !!!!

And for the record, I have posted THREE shitty duck shots :) http://www.dslrusers.net/viewtopic.php? ... 4653a91376 and boy are they shitty

and some other shots of the members
