Hey all, I just wanted to invite dgrinners about the LAShooters Semi-Formal and Semi-Monthly shoot coming up on Sat 2/2/8
The venue will be the Queen Mary, a wonderful art deco style, last of the steam powered transatlantic ocean liners, moored in the Long Beach Harbor.
Yours truly will lead a semi formal workshop for all the sweet spot and offer some tips for the good shots. Consider getting a wide/ultrawide for opening shots, a polarizer for outside shots, a close focusing lens or a macro for
detail shots, and a flash if you wish to do some shooting inside. If
Tim can make it, he used to do some tours at the QM so he can give us
some more info on the ship. Bring a walkie talkie radio to channel
15, sub-channel 15 if you have them as they are handy for finding lost
souls. For those that want to stay with the workshop, we'll stay as a
loose group. For those that want to wonder off, feel free to do so.
I'd like for us to carpool if possible and meet at 9;30 so we can
shoot an opening shot outside and board her when they open at 10AM and
probably shoot till 6PM.
Tickets are $22.95 but if anyone knows how we can get a discount let
me know as well, Joel, ah hem...
Anyway here is their link.

I just checked my calendar & discovered I cannot make it this time. Have other commitments. Damn.

Oh darn. Too bad this is on the 2nd. I've been wanting to go shooting at the Queen Mary, but Feb 2 is the once a year open house of the awesome woodie collection at Alexander Restoration in downtown LA.
Some of my photos from last year are in this thread.
Have fun at the Queen Mary!
