[df3photo]

If this isnt in the right place feel free to move it...

So we did our tfp meet-up today. We (me, stop23 and Olympus8MP) met at a Barns & Noble talked photo for abit then headed (in a round about way) to Presqueisle State Park (www.presqueisle.org) to shoot a little. We got there around 5pmish with sunset near 6pm we didn't do a lot of shooting, which we where fine with because we froze our butts off... but here are a few of those photos...

This is THE city of Erie, PA from across the bay...

I will probably repost some of the sunset pictures after some post-processing. I kinda wish I had remembered to use RAW + JPEG mode. :x

EDIT:
Try the picture again. I think i fixed it.

[Antarctican]

:clap: Despite the cold, sounds like you guys had fun. Nice pics, and it's good to be able to put a face with the name.

[fstop23]

The pics look sweeeeeet! I'll post some as soon as i get mine developed. I checked out the link to the original pic of the group shot...it looks like we're in antarctica!

[Antarctican]

...it looks like we're in antarctica!
Aaaaaaand, what would be wrong with that???

(<----note screenname)

[Tangerini]

Brrr! That does look freezy-freezy! You guys got some nice shots though and like Antarctican said it's nice to put faces to the screen names :)

[df3photo]

yes... it was... VERY cold out... I wish i had worn boots.... a scarf.... a better hat... maybe long undies.... notice in the pic of just my fat head that i posted... there IS ice forming on my mustache...hard to tell there... but in the full size one... you can see...

[fstop23]

Aaaaaaand, what would be wrong with that???

(<----note screenname)

I know, i saw that! It just looked surreal. Antartica rocks, anyhow.

[Antarctican]

yes... it was... VERY cold out... I wish i had worn boots.... a scarf.... a better hat... maybe long undies....
Oh maaaaan, with no boots on, your feet must have felt like blocks of ice!!

Antartica rocks, anyhow. Heehee, like how I wrung that out of you??


I've enjoyed the pics posted so far....are there any more??

[Jake42]

Today was actually quite a nice day in Erie! Temps reaching the 40's seem tropical to me!

Presque isle seems like a great place to go shoot. When spring time comes around it'll be full of great things to capture.

I go to Mercyhurst, btw..

[Olympus8MP]

Wow lostprophet, howd you do that? :thumbup:

[LaFoto]

Oh. You had a meet-up?
Wow.
And here I am complaining about our winter-that-is-no-winter ... but hey, upon second thoughts I do prefer this to that icy cold that transpires through your photos.

And you would not care to explain who's who?
I mean: I am guessing, and I am sure I am actually guessing right, but ... who is who?

[LaFoto]

Oh, and I moved it to the Meet-Up forum and stickied it for the time being ... and later it will move over to the "Past Meet-Ups"-sub-section. OK?

and Yeah, moving it is okay.

[LaFoto]

Well, just like I thought, actually :D.
Nice to meet you!

[df3photo]

Maxx RS4 You should have come! Next time! whenever that is... thanks LaFoto...
Still waiting to see some of fstop23's pics....

[lostprophet]

Wow lostprophet, howd you do that? :thumbup:

in CS2 all I done was to play with the levels and curves, use the shadow/highlight and added a bit of saturation
