Australia/New Zealand RFF camera round Australia and NZ

[Scrambler]

Hey, CamB, some nice photos with detectable levels of artistic merit and technical ability ;-)

My favorites are the path/tree root and the Landy. I guess you couldn't help getting the driver in that shot too...

What is happening with the camera? This tread has been dead for 6 weeks. Is the camera still on the road?

 

[Scrambler]

Still somewhere in New Zealand. They'd like to tell us what's going on, but they need to be "staunch."

 

[CamB]

I'd passed it back to David - hopefully he's got some time to work his way through a roll.

The little Fed-2 arrived end of last week and the next day my 903SWC did as well. Think I maybe a little sidetracked for a week or so. Will pass it onto CamB first. So NZ list so far is: CamB - Auckland Hausen -Auckland Janrzm -Tauranga

Sidetracked a little over a week 😉

Patience, good people.

Are we planning a photo book or something? Would arranging that distract us for the next 2-3 weeks while the magical mystery tour winds up?

I've never had one made. Who does good photo books Down Under?

I haven't, but know some people who do a lot, I'll ask them and find out.

Office Works have a service that works well. My wife has done a few of our holidays and the results are are pleasing.

They used Snapfish, moment, and albumworks; all local mobs they say it depends what you want from it, but all have neat software for doing the layouts etc.

Seems i might have killed the thread with the offer. Deleted. Please continue...

 

[michaelwj]

Can I reiterate that I think a photobook would be great idea?

No, Helen, not killed at all. i for one would be very happy. I would love a coffee table book with the images and a bit of a story.

I think the slow response to your offer is simply that noone feels they have the authority to say what happens.

FWIW you have my vote 😉

my suggestion is that the images get collected onto a Dropbox (or similar) and the participants comments get collated into a short comment to go in their section. Of people want to write something new they could do that but I think we shouldn't rely on that.

So unless you hear otherwise, I say go for it.

 

[ricnak]

Ok then. I am on it.

Your suggestions are exactly what I was thinking. I will look into Dropbox and get back to you.

 

[michaelwj]

Excellent, now to find the originals...

Camera has arrived safely in Tauranga this morning, thanks Dave (hausen).

To avoid delays I'll ask now where this is going next?

Cheers, Jason.

Thanks Dave - looking forward to your photos now!

Jason, PM sent. Looking forward to yours now - it's proper Trans-Tasman pride at stake! ;-)

If you can both chat with ricnak about printable scans that would be great.

Good to hear it made the trip safely south. I really struggled with focus with the little Fed. Will post some mediocre shots shortly.

Big thanks to Helen for being proactive on the photo book idea. Was great to hear from the ANZ group….as my life had moved on from the Fed down more inane and routine paths. Was great fun playing with that "outdated and simple" camera - it reconnected me with something more essential - maybe I need to try something like this again to resurrect a little if that spirit...

An undate on the photobook.

I have PM'd everyone on the list about the photobook and am looking into the gaps. The response so far is encouraging.

It seems our list system was not 100% effective. The camera missed its scheduled trip to Useless Generation. Did anyone else miss out?

Here is the list that is currently posted with my additional info.


Scrambler (Steve) - Toowoombah
Keith - Brisbane (from memory?)
ricnak (Helen) - Brisbane Area
Pitadotcom (Peter) - Brisbane Area
Hamfish (Hamish - Brissy
Batey_1020 (Adrian) - Sydney

There are/ were 3 in NZ, Helen. There may also be other Aussies that expressed late interest.
