Please be there at 8.30am sharp or early.
Otherwise, please proceed on your own itenrary.

[FireZ]

i'm ok wif anywhere..but only avaialble on sat..hai..
perhaps shd get close up filter...been aiming to buy 1...but not sure market price leh..scare kanna chop..

 

[catsim]

call a few more shops then you will know the average market price.. so u wont be chopped too seriously

also, stick to one shop once you are comfortable with them then you can get better price from them in future.

for my case, i normally buy at MS colour since it is not in the city. they are more willing to give me slightly more discount nowadays...

 

[astro833]

Hi can i Join? i'm totally noob.. sat i can.. anywhere will do..

 

[kelvint81]

TS maybe want to set a limit of ppl going?

[Fullspectrum]

[FireZ]

yo TS..so..any idea how much does MS sells for HOYA +4 close up filter for 58mm diameter?..
wanna get for my 55-250mm IS lens...hopefully suit well..
also...any senior can join along to guide?...then can teach/share stuffs like...WB, intro knowledge regardin filter...post process n etc..
cheers

 

[Galdor]

Can I join you all too? Actually what do you all have in mind to shoot? If you all are thinking of shooting Macro, SBG would be a better place, alternatively Hort Park would be good too. For macros, early morning would be better. I find that there's nothing much at Henderson Wave to shoot actually.

Hi Galdor,

As we are all new and still don't know each other yet, perhaps we should just start the first outing without too much specific target.

We could discuss more when we meet.

 

[satan_18349]

Hey TS, should be MARCH not feb.

 

[catsim]

I've never expected the response to be so overwhelming.

Yes. I agree that we should keep the group small.
So far I have 4~5 ppl confirmed.
1.FireZ
2.kelvint81
3.Fullspectrum
4.astro833
5. Galdor

And, we have 2 places to go after the initial voting,
1. Botanica Garden
2. Hort Park

I will still keep more to come in as I anticipate some of us will drop out last minute.
I will close the thread by tomorrow or later tuesday.

If you know any senior who is willing to join will be most welcome. If not, we could join other outings announce in this forum in the later stage

 

[generalsales]

:thumbsup:keep it going , plan ahead on what u going to shoot so that the guys know what lens to being along , also if walking bring more water . keep yourself light of so many outing i still prefer the last kampong ( which is going to tear down soon )

 

[catsim]

Thx for reminding. I am still living in February.. hahahaha

 

[teebs]

Thx for reminding. I am still living in February.. hahahaha

Coming Sat should be 28 Feb. Tdy is Sun 22 Feb...

So if you are saying 7 March or 8 March then it would be following Sat or Sun. :bsmilie:

To be very frank, Botanic Gardens and Hort Park will mainly be for Macro Shoots. This is especially so for Hort Park where the main things you can take would be flowers, dragonflies and butterflies.
