pegelli Posted May 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Unfortunately the "real" meeting in Tilburg, planned for June 13, is postponed for obvious (and good) reasons. How about an "off-line" meeting that day. We go out and take photo's in an area close to where we live and post the results here and comment on each-other's work. Might be a nice diversion from the quiet quarantine life :). Everybody can participate, it doesn't matter if you planned to attend in Tilburg or not. The more the merrier. Digital is probable doable to post the same or next day, film might take a little longer but I see no problem with that. Only two restrictions: - Photo's must be taken saturday June 13 - Forum rules for posting, so either the lens or the camera needs to be Leica Who's in?

pegelli Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted June 1, 2020 Great, Willem, Kamiel and Andy, I hope we get more participants but we're already above "critical mass". Andy, since you are a moderator, should we just post the photo's here or should we start a new thread for that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted June 3, 2020 Share #6 Posted June 3, 2020 I should be able to do this one since no travel is involved. Is it proposed to be a competition, or just 'look what I shot today?' Will a theme be proposed, or just what one fancies to shoot at the time? Will judging/commenting be involved? Should there be a limit on the number of entries/submissions per poster? All good, but it probably should be declared at the start so we are all on the same page. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegelli Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted June 3, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi erl, welcome and thanks for the comments. What I had in mind was just shoot what anyone fancies at the time and no competition and no limit on the number of entries of each participant. It's just a way for each participant to show something of the area they live in to the others. But if anyone else has any strong feelings we should do it differently just speak up, for me it's just a way to get out with my camera and that can indeed be done with many different formulas and I'm open to suggestions. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted June 3, 2020 Share #8 Posted June 3, 2020 Do you think we could have an online meeting like with zoom ? I have a paying account (no limit) if you think it could make sense. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted June 3, 2020 Share #9 Posted June 3, 2020 pegelli I am comfortable with your idea. It would be relaxing under our current world stress. Besides, my competing days are over, I think. 😜 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 3, 2020 Share #10 Posted June 3, 2020 I agree. Let's keep it simple! "A Day in the Life of The Forum" Bearing in mind, people's days start and end at different "times" depending where on the planet they are.

If we all would be in the same timezone it could make sense, but now we see participation from multiple continents it gets very hard to synchronise.

StS Posted June 4, 2020 Share #13 Posted June 4, 2020 Well yes, we used to have a regular China/California/Gemany call in a project, meaning weird times for two parties (we got the 5am slot, which was OK for me). Two continents can be handled on a day off. Stefan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamiel Posted June 10, 2020 Share #14 Posted June 10, 2020 Hello to all, Bad news. My employer just called and I have to work this Saturday. Unfortunately I will not be able to participate. :( Looking forward to seeing your photos, Kamiel Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegelli Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share #15 Posted June 11, 2020 That's too bad Kamiel 😟, we'll miss you and I hope you still have a good weekend. Thinking about the practical aspects I don't think I'll shoot film on saturday, I'll go 100% digital and since I don't have a Leica digital camera I'm going to use the "digital backs" I have for my M-lenses (A7ii and A7Rii) But I do plan to use all the leica focal length availabe to me: 35, 50, 90, 135 and 200 mm 😊, the weather here is starting to look better and better.

Two continents can be handled on a day off. Stefan Kamiel, as this is not a competition, I suggest you shoot 'near' Saturday for you, say Sunday. I don't imagine anyone else will object and welcome your 'late' contribution. I would suggest the same for others with similar constraints. Let's say 'a weekend in the life of the forum'. Just my thoughts. P.S. It's winter here and damn cold. I am looking out my warm gear to venture out, despite Covid 19 declaring I should stay in. Gotta take the big step sometime! OTOH, I could shoot something within my own boundary! Hmm. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted June 12, 2020 Share #17 Posted June 12, 2020 I thought I had missed this opportunity but just realised, 13th is still in the future I am in. Shall we meet late on Saturday night or Sunday european morning? GMT 20:00 or 08:00. Erl is I believe GMT+10, central europe is GMT+2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my thoughts. Fully agree, we'll expand the time window for people who have difficulty on the saturday. It's all about enjoying photography and sharing the results. All the rest is secundary. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
