Adam and I were talking tonight and he is off a few days next week. We were hoping that Lee would have some free time and want to get together with Me and Adam and possibly Joey for some pictures in the Plant City Area....


Anyone else wanna join???


Lee are you free next Saturday or next Sunday?

I dont know if it is still there, but there was a huge wall mural there in downtown Plant City, that depicts the railroad roots of the city I believe...that would also be a great photo spot...the link below shows a pic of it..

Yes, I'm tied up Saturday until about noon then free afterwards, and free Sunday too. I've been trying to think of some good places to take pics. The old train station is good but we will have to move to the adjacent parking lot to fit everyone in....most likely. The mural is gone. We can use McCall Park in downtown if spaces available. Maybe we can find a brick street to block for a couple minutes.

I dunno round like 5ish...?

SmokedRam
05-10-2011, 08:09 PM
Yeah, I know the truck stop has been closed for a while now, but last I saw there was room for us to park and meet up there...but I dont think there is an exit from I4 at that spot...they wopuld have to exit down at Frontage Rd I think.


So, exit 22 it is then? Now we just need to let Jay let us know when he is available.

The Jax Wax show is Saturday June 4th in Riverview at Moes Southwest Grill...if you pre-register for the show it is only $15 to show..and it has to be postmarked by May 14th...

Bumping this...due to the weather predicted for Sunday during the AM hours, it might be a good idea to make this an after 12PM deal...

I don't know if any of you noticed post #12 but my truck isn't ready. I'm still waiting on redesigned brackets from Top Gun Customz for my dual steering stabilizer. I was hoping they would arrive yesterday but they didn't. They did tell me it could take a week or two to build a couple prototype/redesigned brackets...guess it's gonna be "or two".

Considering that and the potential weather this weekend, I guess we should postpone this.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I am thinking it would be a good idea too Lee...

I'm not familiar with Canon but no phone camera is a true replacement for a Nikon D40. I had a D40 that I lost in the divorce...but I replaced it with a D5000.

What camera model do you prefer for photography, and have you found any specific challenges or benefits in using it?
