Howdie folks... and mates and friends, etc
It's been a while now that I keep getting requests from South Africans to do an organized photo weekend for Renderosity members in South Africa.
Personally I think it's a bad idea because the previous times we had such a lot of fun. We did day shoots, hikes in the mountains, evening photography (sunsets), night time photography and sunrises. We exchanged info on cameras, techniques and we learned to know each other. Harry did an upside down stunt with his tripod and Vera caught a black mamba with her bare hands. The snake survived! We had braais (BBQ's for the Americans) and we hardly slept AT ALL! I am not willing to risk such an event again! :blink: ...or am I? :wub:
Read more here about the previous event.
Oh and before I forget, there was the Bona Bona weekend where some of the photographers needed dry pants after a lion charge but I am not going to mention any names and any reference to Este and/or Zeldie is purely coincidental. See photos...
See? I am not for this weekend, BUT if you insist, let's get the ball rolling: :woot:
Most ideas up to know were for visiting some nature reserve or any place presenting lots of opportunities for photography in the wild. It should be affordable and the weekend should include the Friday too. It should be fairly central in the country if at all possible...
What about November 2008?
Places like Madikwe and Pilanberg were mentioned. Any other ideas and places/venues? I think Carin (meisiekind) will help organizing, I hope, I haven't asked her yet. I can be contacted via sitemail or cell phone nr +27832931944
Oh and don't forget to order your Renderwear long in advance! I will make sure I supply the link to the site in this forum soon.
Oh and if any of our overseas members really want to risk having such fun, just sign my indemnity forms for splitting your sides and you are welcome to join in! (Kidding, you are welcome either way!)
COME ON FOLKS, WHAT DO YOU SAY? :b_cool:
