So, what are your plans for Nuit Blanche

[nahim.a.a]

Get your camera bag packed with extra batteries, flash cards, energy bars, red bull and of course your tripod.

dress comfortably and prepare to walk a lot.

How do you know if u got the rsvp or not? I submitted a few days ago.. still haven't got any reply or confirmation yet.

I guess I'll be gettin the TTC Day Pass and just bus around during the night haha. I'm really looking forward to the CN tower thing tho.. it'll be my first official project with the 10-22!

i'm still waiting on the rsvp, i'm guessing didn't get it

i think day pass would be the better option if you don't want to look for parking going from zone to zone.

may try to see if i can borrow my uncle's 18-200VR

There is a good chance of getting a reservation during late hours.

if more people are interested we could make this our first RFD photographers event, what do you say?

[nahim.a.a]

Here is a tip, go to the website http://www.scotiabanknuitblanche.ca/home.html . then click on one of the zones - a, b c. then click on the tags on the map to read a description of the events.

there are some really interesting events and the more i read the more interested i get. Especially zone A which has all the events close-by seems very promising.

i'm definitely down for this. didn't make it out last year but there's lots happening this time.

this got my attention. clipped from this star article:

At midnight and 2 a.m., catch a large assemblage of dancers doing the choreography from Michael Jackson's cult classic "Thriller" video.

see A here.

I got a registration confirmation for 3am on Sunday for the skypod at the CN tower! lol


anyone else?


VorteC, it would be really cool if you get the same slot as well so i could borrow your 10 - 20mm.

[PQpine413]

i got 4am
not sure if i'll be staying till then tho..

[nahim.a.a]

Taking pictures of Toronto at 3-4am from the top of CN-tower - now that's something that you can later on brag about to your grand kids.

The only way to really make the best of this event is if we were do it as a group. for practical reasons, first of all safety.

[CSAgent]

You guys are nuts. =P

At 3-4am I'll be sleeping. Can't wait to see your pictures though.

[nahim.a.a]

here are two photos taken by someone at last year's event from the skypod of cn tower.

hopefully i'll be there by 10pm and i'll see how much energy i have and how many of the events i could see.

[ryan_lau100]

omg im going to have to carry my tripod with me all night... now if thats not a target on your back i dont know what is...

i think we should meet up somewhere.... safety reasons for sure.... for those of you who do send me a PM and i will try to organize it. festivities start at about 7ish so lets say we meet 9pm (if you want to meet) at somewhere nice and public. lets say Bay and Queen in the Timothys at the corner.

PM me if you are interested and i will post how many pple can show and names so that if its a flop you wont waste your time.

i will check at 3pm to post who will be available.

[nahim.a.a]

Edit:

some of you who have cn tower confirmation but you're not going please forward the e-mail to some other folks in here.

[nahim.a.a]

Just to let you know, i won't have Internet access during the day.

ryan has my phone number so he can text message me or call me.

I will be in downtown around 10pm, so if you guys are there we can meet up and move as a crew (safety in numbers).

hopefully i'll see you there guys.

I'm debating if I should bring my tripod down there all night.

Afterall, I'm sort of on a date...but like, I can't resist a good photo op at this event. I might just bring my SLR with hotshoe flash all night instead with a tripod.
