Great idea.

We could do a 360 deg pano of your backgarden, the most photographed backgarden in Australia methinks :)

We are very fortunate that you have lot's of nice plants to photograph :D

As well as lots of nice tripods, statues, and people who spend far too much money on nice little things that take pictures of other nice little things.

Yes, I'm with you, we can run a trial and do a proper workshop outdoor later. BTW, I ordered the Omni Pano package from RRS, should be here next week.

Despite my multiple posts saying that I'd be attending this outdoor meet, I can't make it.

One day I will be able to... one day :(

Probably better to not aggravate the lens lust :(

I promise, promise, promise that I will be there Birdy.

I know I have said I would be at other meets and not gotten there, but my husband is rather partial to his.....shall we say, family jewels....and will not allow anything to stop me going this time. :twisted:

See you all there...

Cheers

If 'gstark' present then Nnnnsic = there.
ELSE
If Nnnnsic get(license) AND get(car) from 'gstark' = there too.

There's a point to all of this, I failed programming. :D

You're missing a bit of logic... or rather, weekend logic. :)

IF $gstark present THEN $Nnnnsic == THERE
ELSE
IF $Nnnnsic get(license) AND get(car) fromm $gstark == THERE
ELSE
IF $Nnnnsic == sleeping OR $Nnnnsic == drunk THEN $gstark == THERE

I'm not sure If i'll make it though.. I've got another engagement to go to as well, but I might be able to fit in some time to meet others etc.
