RFF EuroMeet, Florence, April 10-11 2010

[SimonSawSunlight]

sure Kully, I'll stick with Emil's cron most of the time I suppose... I might happen to need it back at nights though 😀

 

[yanidel]

I have entered my "what gear am I going to bring phase" ... what a brainstorming 😉
I want to commit to one camera and 2 lenses. So if you see me arrive with more than that, I will have failed in my quest for simplicity.

 

[kully]

Thanks Simon, only bring it if you were going to bring it anyway - I'll be bringing a borrowed 40/1.4 in any case.

My list of stuff to being is:

Rolleiflex 3.5F
M8 + 40/1.4, 21/4, 50/1.5
GF-1 + 20/1.7

 

[SimonSawSunlight]

sure!

my list currently says:

M4, M2 + 35mm f1.2, 50mm f1.5, 21mm f4
Mamiya 6 + 50mm, 150mm

Fuji GS645S and MDa + 15mm f4.5 are still being discussed 😀

Simplicity eh? That's what I've been attempting in my plans for Florence. It was going to be just my M8, 28mm Hex, 35mm 'cron and a 50mm Planar...but then I thought about the batteries my M8 eats and decided an M6 would be sensible too...but then I have to include a 50mm 'Cron, 35mm Nokton and a load of both Delta 100 and TriX.

So if you see me arrive with just my camera phone you know I've given up completely😀

 

[kully]

I think I might start sacrificing small (cute and furry) animals and dancing naked outside to make sure the weather is good.

It looks like an awful lot of rain over there at the moment....

All this talk got me motivated....
Hmmm hmmm, I commit in front of the whole assembly that I will only use one camera and 2 lenses during the whole weekend (applauses please). M9 + 35 Lux Asph + 60mm Hexanon.
Iphone does not count as camera, does it ?

Kully, if it does rain, we will probably question your naked dancing abilities ...

Simon, stop chimping and one battery will be enough for the day 😉

That's impossible to me, I need to be loaded or I feel naked!

weather predictions...

Fri - rain
Sta - clouds and Sun - 16º
Sun - clouds and much more SUN 19º
Mon - Sunny

Have a great Easter everyone!

In your case, if you could commit to bring only one bag full of gear, it would already be quite a success 😉

hmm let me try and surprise myself.... but I'll be half naked!

 

[SimonSawSunlight]

mamiya 6 says boooooyakalooza!

😀

I'll try and bring pants too.

S'alright, I'll be trading my M8 for your shiny new M9 for the weekend so it'll be your batteries getting drained😱😉

Planning to arrive in Florence saturday with M7, wife and the collapsible CV Heliar 50mm F2 I bought myself for X'mas and almost never used.
Not yet decided about film, if B&W or colour slides (yes, I still shoot slides) or why not Ektar ?
If everything ok see you on saturday

PS If sun = fun; if rain = good photopportunity...

 

[EmilGil]

Get those cute and furry animals ready and start stripping Kully, it's not looking good for the moment:

Saturday
10/04/2010
Heavy rain 16° Light breeze, 3 m/s from south-southwest

Heavy rain. Light breeze, 3 m/s from south-southwest. 10 mm precipitation per 24 hours.

Sunday
11/04/2010
Heavy rain 13° Gentle breeze, 4 m/s from south-southwest

Heavy rain. Gentle breeze, 4 m/s from south-southwest. 16 mm precipitation per 24 hours.

I read that the reliability of weather forecasts decreases by 20% every day out. So since we are 6 days in advance, I would not worry too much about it anyways. And since Kully must be undressing as I talk, even less.

It seems Kully's dance is successful already! 😉

 

[SimonSawSunlight]

Museo Nazionale Alinari

Museo Nazionale Alinari

For the friends who have time at the photography Museo Nazionale Alinari is an exhibition title is : Paris, capital of photography 1924-1940 with pictures of the photographer who, in the twenties, were sharing their art with the avanguarde artist.
Pictures by Florence Henri, Erwin Blumenfeld , André Kertès and Man Ray and other are on show. It sounds interesting.
