Melbourne, 27th-29th November 2009

New schedule:

Here is a rough idea of what we're doing.

Friday 27th (evening):

Kick-off and welcome party on the rooftop at Quest East Melbourne.


Saturday 28th:

Masterclass:
Stu Murchison will give us an introduction to shooting with speedlights, as the first activity for the day. After that, we divide into groups to shoot around the building.



Morning:
We have the run of the building at Quest East Melbourne including a couple of rooms, lobby, rooftop and hallways.

Afternoon:
After lunch we again split into groups to go shooting in the parks. One group will go to the Botanical Gardens, the other to Albert Park.





Sunday 29th:

Masterclass:
Chemc will give us an introduction to post-processing, including setting up Photoshop actions, level adjustments, noise reduction and a Q&A session. Those who are brave enough can have their images used as examples.

Morning:
All Nations backpackers, a Victorian era hotel/halfway house, now operating as a backpacker hostel. Still retaining much of it's old world vibe, the timber stairwells and exposed brick walls have a funky cross-culture feel to them.

Afternoon:
After lunch, we again divide into groups for an "Alley Challenge". Your group is assigned a quadrant of the Melbourne CBD. You hit the cobblestones of Melbourne's back alleys and laneways with a group of models, MUA and costumes, and get the best shots possible.

Evening:
Wrap up party on the rooftop at Quest East Melbourne.

WOW WOW! I love it. Please put me down as a definite.

Looks good to me . I'm in. Any ideas on suitable accomodation? Thanks for all the work

Hi mark - accomodation is something we're still working on for out of towners. I have to call some people at Quest in the next few days.


Ben

Wow great location - funky bathroom and my funky I mean drrrty. Man I wish I could come!

add me thanks, looks great!

Can I get an idea of how many people are coming from out of Melbourne and also need accomodation? I am going to be speaking to a Quest hotel in the next few days about numbers.

I'm coming from Canberra, but due to budget considerations I usually stay in backpackers.

I will need a hotel. I will probably stay fri sat , sun nights. I know nothing about accomodation down there.

If we can get ideas of prices etc I'd be interested... Of course I've got a 1 year old so I probably won't be able to share in everything I'd love to see costs and what you've got planned - the locations certainly enough to spark my interest

Sorry I have been away, is there still room for me?

Wendy - yes, still room for you.
