I may dump my 300D and get an XT, or a 20D when the new Canon comes out and others dump their 20Ds. Or I may consider dumping all my Canon gear and getting a DS (the price is now right). I do love my 28-135 IS Canon zoom, so maybe not.
What I'd like to do is borrow someone's DS for a day. So Bruce and I were discussing this and he suggested another NorCal PDML meet where maybe some kind soul could lend me one for a day. :-) September is very busy for me, so I would prefer early Oct. 1-2, or 8-9. Of course, there is no way to tell what the weather will be like then. But I don't believe we are headed into an early wet winter. But who knows? If pushed, I could possibly do Sept. 22-23, but I would prefer early October. Would Oct. 1 or 2, or 8 or 9 work for people? We also thought going to Sausalito might be fun. Lots of boats, good places to eat, and also stop along the coast to try for some shots of the Golden Gate bridge (I am not sure how far that end is from the downtown but I don't think it's far.) Personally, I haven't been to Sausalito for years, and years, so I do not know what it is like now. But it's a pretty area. Bruce said he had suggested to Godfrey and Shel that they give us some instruction and concepts on street shooting (people shooting) at the next PDML meet. Sounds good. It would be more tourists, than anything. But that might be a good way for us non-street shooters to practice. As I remember there are always lots of people in Sausalito. So the dates? And does Sausalito sound okay? Shel, if you need a ride, contact me off-list. Bygones are bygones. If fact, maybe anyone who wants to respond more personally re dates or destination should contact me off-list (ie has a problem with either). Or not. Up to you. Marnie aka Doe
