WHEN: May 2, 2010 Sunday
WHERE: Liloan Parola/Beach Shore
ASSEMBLY TIME: Strictly 4:00am
ASSEMBLY PLACE: McDonalds IT Park
DEPARTURE TIME: 4:30am(sharp & must)
EQUIPMENTS TO BRING: DSLR Camera(of course) equipped with any macro capable lens, external flash gun(built-in flash is good as long as you have a DIY diffuser), extra batteries, extra memory card, wide lens (for sunrise landscape), Bridge/Prosumer camera is also acceptable as long as it has a macro capability feature
NOTES:
1. This is strictly a time-conscious activity since we will be catching the first morning light(a.k.a. sunrise). And we need an extra ample of time to travel from the assembly area to the venue aside from preparation and finding a good spot in the venue. Early morning also is great for macro shooting since the arthropods and or any tiny sea creatures are in a non-active state yet. There are lots of interesting tiny subjects there too aside from live ones.
2. This is open to all, but MOST SPECIALLY to Istorya.Net Photography Club(I.P.C.)
3. If you don't have a macro dedicated lens, you may opt for reversing ring or extension tubes (if you don't know what are these, google is there to help you)
4. Flash diffusing accessory is a must specially to reversed lens and extension tubes users.
5. For those who have cars, please bring.
6. Food is BYOP. But there are food stores(carenderia, jollibee, etc. in the town) on the highways, we can eat there. If you have some food to share for the group, the better(of course^^). Possible we may reach lunch time.
7. Since this activity starts at dawn, pamahaw or pama-init mo para naay sulod inyong mga tiyan kay basin makuyapan mo inig tuwad2x didto.
8. Bring WATER. Para intawn dili mo mahutdan og kosog dayon inig tuwad2x didto (walay exempted ang mga dagkog tiyan).
9. Do not use any "vegah" type footwears since the venue might be slippery. Wear rugged! We will be shooting on sea shore as well.
10. Strictly, we will leave at exactly 4:30am to cope up with the sunlight, preparation, and spot in the venue.
