Paternoster Outing Reportback

The Photoclub's outing to Paternoster on Saturday was well-attended, and I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. It was great to get together with other people who don't find it funny when you get down flat in the sand for a better angle, or shoot a fishing boat from super close-up.

Some people already arrived at 7:00 to take advantage of the very-early morning light. There weren't many fishing boats going out, unfortunately. Probably something to do with the crayfish permits having been suspended or something. The outing was very informal, with nothing particular planned and no formal workshop component. At the "Know your Camera" workshop next month we hope to take care of the more technical aspects, with a bit of socializing thrown in too.

 Any suggestions for future outings are very welcome. Please mail them to me cassi@icon.co.za, and I will compile a list for the committee.

Outing to Paternoster -- Sat 18 Feb 09:00

Please join us for an outing to Paternoster next Saturday. Nothing as formal as a workshop, but just a fun get-together to pick up some tips from the more experienced photographers perhaps, and to hopefully go home with a few cool photos.

We'll meet at the Paternoster Hotel at 09:00, but you're welcome to arrive earlier if you'd like to get some shots while the light is still perfect. The sun come up at about 06:20, and the hotel serves breakfast from 07:30.  


Anyone who wants to join later on in the day is also more than welcome. Just look for a bunch of people walking around shooting everything in sight. If they're all Japanese though, you probably have the wrong group.

Don't know what the weather is going to do, but make sure to bring some sun protection at least. 


If you'd like to stay the whole day and end the day with supper in one of the restaurants, I'd advise booking in advance as some of the restaurants get very busy on the weekends.

Looking forward to seeing you all here in "My Town".
