NG Get Together Maastricht 5 June 2016

[the solitaire]

Jakov, I agree on the B&W versus color version. We have to make a retake of that photo though, and had you warned me in advance I would have brought a metered Nikon F for "the stack"

(since I don't have much to share yet, I'll just be a rebel and post a picture of the missing camera



The rolls of film are not yet back. Still waiting for the developed film so I can scan it and post some of mine and Kristinas photos here

[David Paterson]

Fantastic from start to finish - wish I could have been there.

[Jakov Minić]

Thank you Thomas and Buddy!
Buddy, it wasn't plan to make the camera pile up photo, but now we know for next time. Looking forward to your scanned images.

David you are most kind and it would have been great had you joined. Perhaps for the next one.

Now I am presenting you Don John and Capo Jakov, just released from the Maastricht Fort Prison on the grounds of insufficient evidence. They are contemplating where to go first after spending unjust time behind bars... 

[Bruno Schroder]

Hilarious one Jakov, and the ghosts are bubbling between you and the holy halo on your head ... Great one.

[John Geerts]

hahaha, That's a lovely one, Jakov

Meetingpoint for lunch.

[Jakov Minić]

Now I can post some flowers

Thank you bandit Bruno and Don John 

[Bruno Schroder]

Thanks Thomas. I'm glad you like them, I carried the 1kg 14-24 the whole day for these shots

[John Geerts]

Which camera shall we put on the table?

[Jakov Minić]

And finally some blurry photos

I think we should make that gear pile-up a standard in future NG get togethers, and I intend to be there to be part in that tradition

Jakov, you just found the sweet spot in processing that one. Excellent pick of participants, of the right pose and angle, framing, excellent crop and most excellent processing!

Instant Fear and Loathing! (Just add water)

To quote HST, "There he goes. One of Gods own prototypes. A high powered mutant of sorts, never even considered for mass production"
That photo says it all! Two individuals, united with one goal. To take the greatest and best photo in the world. Tribute!

[Jakov Minić]

Buddy, those are extremely nice words. Thank you so much!
The first pile up took place in South Africa back in 2009 when the Crew first met.
It was the most impressive pile up because of all the super tele lenses. I contributed with the 45P
I agree with you perfectly, let's make it a tradition together with the fish-eye group shot, with two dogs next time
The "Don John Capo Jakov" photo would not have been so successful had we not the bond...

[Anirban Halder]

And finally some blurry photos

Awesome shots Jakov. Creativity at its best!! People pay for sharp lenses and pixels should come here and learn from you. 

shot before the actual proceedings were openend

Beautiful shot Joost!

[Anirban Halder]

Thomas -  'there is light falling on structures of order', "'fresnel pedestrian signal', "we are nikongear" are very nice shots. High on imagination.

[Frank Fremerey]

The double "J" in front of the citadel is hilarious. I have seen this editing style before. Where?

[Jakov Minić]

Thank you Anirban for your most kind words!
