Hi,

A few of us (eddie, don and myself) are planning to shoot at Coney Island this Saturday. It would be great if others are interested and can come.

The amusement park is closed but winter is a great time to shoot the Cyclone, ferris wheel, parachute jump, etc. Much of what is there now is scheduled for demolition next winter so this may be the last winter you can shoot such attractions as "Shoot the Freak."

We can meet up at the Aquarium parking lot. I will post directions later today.

I have a car and will be driving from Manhattan and can fit a couple of people and gear. PM me if you need a ride. Don also has a car if needed.

I'd love to go to this with you guys - pretty short trip for me. But I had a helluva week @ work, and I badly need a day (like TOMORROW!) to detox. Love shooting Coney Island - perhaps if I'm rested enough I'll go Sunday and post my pics along side of yours.

Cheers!

Nice stuff. Wish I could have made it down, but alas, too much to do this weekend.

I am soo jealous,
I went to Troy NY and didn't see the post till last Sun. I had fun in Troy though. I went to the abandoned Bruno foundry. This is a digisnap of one of the images I took. The negs are developed but I had no time for printing.


So when is the next Cony trip. I really want to go. I really want to take the 12x20!!


cheers

those are great alex! the one shooting int o the sun is perfect! i tried to print mine using VDB but i over exposed the print. i was too tired to try it again. after seeing yours in B&W i may try and print it in the darkroom. i think mine may also have a reflection from shooting into the sun. i really like that lens! thanks for letting me play with it. i just got a 90mm SA f8 in trade from Don. i love it. shooting with a 90mm is awesome!

Alan,

I want to go back before they open on March 16th. I am tied up this weekend but any Saturday after that is good for me. Tim said he is up for it and I am sure we could get a few more.

Me and Betsy(the 12x20) are both in. I will be down in NYC on the 6th and that weekend. If that weekend is okay with everyone else. It would be perfect with me.

I'll be there too! Very exciting.

Hey, did you see this other thread (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=33791)? These CA guys are giving us a run for our money. We should bring some nude models & free booze on Saturday. :D
