We came, we saw, we Geeked out.

Well, if you weren't here last night, you missed out big time. We drank beer , ate pizza and chips, and geeked out over each others prints, printers, computers, cameras and telescopes. We told harrowing stories of photos made and hopefully even learned something. The guys were even nice enough to leave me four lawn chairs. Thanks guys!

BTW if anyone wants the handout, send me a private email and I'll attach it and send it back.

back row:
Ned, Jim Diem, Darren, Pradeep, Zack, Eric, Ryan.

And we learned from the geek master.
Lots of fun Mark, thanks for hosting geekfest 2.

A great time. Thank you Mark for hosting. It was great seeing those who I've met before and meeting a couple photographers I hadn't. I enjoyed the print exchange, and I would suggest we do that once every year or two. Mark had some great tips and handouts, and the conversation with everyone was great.

A do-over for sure. And remember, as Mark would say, "you can't jack sh#%!"

I came home and tried to remember what I had learned.....I was up till 2am...

Thanks Mark for the hospitality and it was good to meet everyone and put faces with names....

Happy shooting!

oh, who got a shot of that killer moon last night......just as it was coming up over the horizon the sky went orange and it was very dramatic

Sounds like alot of fun. I would have loved to make it. I also had to cancel out on a friends suprise birthday party that was held at the same time.

Thanks again Mark, I had a great time, and it was really nice to put more faces to names. It really is cool to see how different people work in Photoshop.

Favorite Mark quote, "if you're not shooting raw then you're just jacking s#%t!" Good times

Looks like a great time was had by all. I had other plans that were probably not quite as fun, but watching 3 guys hop off the top of Punchbowl falls has to rank as a close 2nd place

Here's a shot of the guys at the top of the falls before jumping (taken with Sony P&S):

It was a fun day and my brain doesn't hurt !!

Mark, Had a great time, met good people, learned a bunch, took home a great print. Sorry I had to leave early my mom had to go to emergency but doing good today. The view down the gorge at sunset was beautiful, but couldn't stop.

Mark - thanks again for your hospitality... You definitely have your $#%t together on Photoshop - truly the master anywhere around.... (and that ain't Jack $#%t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Thank you my good friend!

I wish I could have been there guys but it was close to a 4 hour drive and I had to work at midnight ! I sure hope you do this again.

And Mark...you took front and center as the leader of the geeks should have! Thanks for hosting...you really raised the bar on leading these get togethers...it was a lot of fun!

Hey thanks Mark - it was a lot of fun.

- pradeep

I really need to get a shirt that says Wilbur on it or something? That cracked me up

Hey Mark, I saw that this event was happening. Already had out-of-town plans for the weekend. Sorry to have missed out. Hope to attend the next one.

Hey Mark,

Next time I'll be there (Kaia said so ). Sorry I missed it.
