Photographers attending ?

Any Photographers attending?

Take a look at this shot from the Element Meet in the Vegas area:

That is a great shot, but we just gotta beat that!

Maybe we can get on the roof at Huey's Honda and get a rooftop shot! :)
Parking outside the ramp at the hotel and get a shot from the top of the ramp?

I'm bringing two cameras and what little experience I have with point and click :o

looks like 2 or 3 pictures photo stitched together to make a panorama picture. kewl

John aka JPPHOTO is a pro and he took some great shots last year. I'm sure this year will be more of the same. Plus, since he's a local and leading our tour on Friday, he'll have some good idea of places for good group shots.

that's a great shot from the Element outing but I'm certain that with JP's help and the creativity of this group we'll be able to beat it. I'm bringing my Canon 20D, 3 lenses & a tripod as well as my MacBook Pro (w/Photo Shop & Aperture) for any onsite editing.

Here is a great group shot pasted from a Mini Cooper met at Deal's Gap. Sorted by color.:cool:

That's a neat shot.

Is there a grassy area around for all of us? Grass gives so much nicer photos than oil-stained pavement.

Perhaps somewhere with the mighty Mississippi in the background?

This would be nice!!

Sorry to disappoint you 25 but that photo with a Ridge is impossible. The only area that you could get the Arch with a ridge is on the street directly below the Arch. Since 9/11 there is NO parking on that street at all. The Arch grounds are under federal jurisdiction and they no longer allow parking on the street. Remember the other streets around are in downtown. The parking in downtown was not designed for photography unfortunately.

We might be able to photograph each others Ridgelines on Broadway at the east end of Kienar Plaza. Its a one way street going south and we could set one person to take the shots and have everyone drive by round the plaza. That is really the only way that I can think of the get a good shot of the Arch with a ridge. From down below remember that the Arch is just over 600 feet tall plus 100 feet of stairs from the riverfront up to the arch grounds, which makes the ridge look like an ant in comparison.

Outstanding suggestion! Is this something that we could possibly do as we "caravan" to or from Huey's Honda on Saturday? That way those arriving on Friday would get a chance to have their RL "shot" with the arch in the background.

(I looked it up on a map)

maybe this is another great incentive to arrive for the tour of St. Louis friday morn/afternoon.

I'm gonna be there just as fast as I can pedal! :eek: Planning to leave metro NY at oh-dark-thirty and pretty much drive straight through except for gas, food, coffee and nap stops. Hopefully I'll be there before ya'll leave on Friday.

Does anyone have video cameras? There are going to be many things that simple photos won't be enough. (demonstrations, etc.)

My camera does a decent job capturing video actually.

I will be bring my Nikon DSLR, hopefully can back up on some good truck shots....:D
