Thats cool Dave, as long as it a "Digital" one not an old Film one, it will have a Auto mode, and should still take better pic's than your P&S, you can practice good composition with "any" camera, and we can help you as much or as little as you want (sometimes its just fun to experiment yourself)
To those that are bringing a camera/s, and would like to have a play around with some night shots on saturday night, we will most likley need to use the Manual Mode, if you don't know how to select this mode or how to change settings once selected, (i will help you with what settings to set) i should be able to figure out your controls, but bringing your owners manual may be a good idea to save some time.
A Tripod will also be very handy if you have one, i have a couple of cheap ones i can lend out so don't worry if you don't have one, or you can just borrow my good one if you want to do something special.
Some sort of torch or hand held battery powerd light will also be usefull for setting up camera in the dark, and also useful for taking light painting pic's (i have spare light i can lend) a spread beam is preferable to a sharp spot (a small work light is good)
If you want to bring a notebook/laptop (if you have one) to view any pics you take, this may be handy, otherwise remember to bring your camera to PC/USB cable, as i will have my laptop with me.
If you just wanna "watch" eveyone else you can do that too

OK, we've weakened and booked a cabin too..... there is one left.
ok at this stage i am in it will be me and daughter mum cant make it so unless something nasty happens we will see you all at torq 4x4???? which way are you guys heading out of town might be able to meet you on road some where save me going into browns plains and back out agian if your coming past me,,, so let me know please.The date for this trip is 26-27th Nov 2011 (less than 2 weeks)
Hope you guys can make it Rick, im sure Fran will have a ball, she has the best set -up for river crossing shots
Last time travelling to Warwick most of us met @ TORQ4x4 for a 6.30am departure, this seemed to suit everyone well so may i suggest meet in the same area/time this trip ?
The following map link should give approximate indication of time and distance we will travel on the first day (departing Torq4x4 ,Johnson rd).....
MAP
Total trip time (non stop) is about 4hrs and 216 km, if we leave Johnson rd at 6.30am, in theory, we can include a 30 min stop at Boonah (for fuel etc), and allow a 1 hour stop for lunch somewhere, and still arrive at camp at 12 o'clock mid-day (if we don't make any other stops).
Sunset on Sat 26th is 6.25pm (last light 6.50pm) so id say we need to be at Camp Lake Fire by 4pm, this should give us enough time to get in, set up camp, and hopefully still be able to get to a position to Photograph the sunset with some water in the foreground ?
So if all goes to plan, that allows 4 hours of possible photography time before we get to camp, add to that, another couple of hours around sunset/night time, and we could see up to 6 hours "shutter slapping"
Good stuff, more 60D goodness in action
We can travel/meet you on the Ipswich-Boonah rd if that way suits you best mate.

Is everyone else good to meet outside Torq4x4 again, for a 6.30am departure ?
Yep - see you there at 6:30am ... who's in charge of getting coffees??Good stuff, more 60D goodness in action

Just remember, if the boys from Torq4x4 aren't going, the gate might be locked so we'll need to park on the street.
Yes good point Scotty, i expect the gate "will" be still locked at 6.30am, i have a feeling the road directly outside the Torq4x4 driveway (see Blue pin below) may be a "no standing" zone, so may i suggest we could all park/meet at the Service Station 150M up the hill from Torq4x4 (see Red arrow below)
That way you should be able to get your coffee as well.
Worst case , use UHF Channel 17, if you can't see anyone.
Good call - see you at the servo ...Yes good point Scotty, i expect the gate "will" be still locked at 6.30am, i have a feeling the road directly outside the Torq4x4 driveway (see Blue pin below) may be a "no standing" zone, so may i suggest we could all park/meet at the Service Station 150M up the hill from Torq4x4 (see Red arrow below)

no you can park on the side of the road. I do it all the time (there are no signs). Just stay on the left side of the line
