As determined and discussed https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/benelux-dyxum-meeting-october-2021-poll_topic140034_page1.html - here the first choice for our next Benelux meeting date was october 3 (backup october 24 in case of bad weather) and as a venue Dordrecht got the most votes. I suggest we meet between 10:30 and 11:00 in "Dordts Genoegen", Voorstraat 256, 3311 ET Dordrecht for coffee (and cake), that's nice and central for starting our walk. But if there are other ideas on that just post them here, these are just suggestions to get the discussion going. We could follow " https://indordrecht.nl/routes/rondje-dordt/ - Rondje Dordt " or any of the other dedicated walking routes that can be found lower on the page (street art/hoogwater/leermonumenten/hofjes/bier en wijn.....) or combine some in our own route. Suggestions welcome  As far as I could determine from the other thread the participants so far are: - @Jetsplace + Marcel - Snegren - Fred_S - darosa - rvangompel - Harm vb - Dopol - Dirk - der dickgg (guide?) - pegelli Pls. post below if you would get your name added or removed from the list and any other suggestions (starting time/meeting place/route to walk/equipment to take or anything else that's on your mind regarding this meeting). ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

October 3rd has been penciled in. Now starts the big struggle what to bring (aka do I need a mule or do I go light). I fear neither of those options. I have three certainties: A7iii with Meyer Optik Domiron 2/50 A7RM4 with LA-EA5 and Minolta 100/2 Laowa Zero-D 12/2.8 (17/4 with shift converter) ------------- “People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.” Søren Kierkegaard https://www.flickr.com/photos/paulemans/ - My Flickr |

What to carry, for the lensaholics among us always the most difficult question before a meeting  Certain is two bodies (A7ii and A7Rii) and my walk around zoom (Tamron 28-200 Di III RXD) but I need to add some fun lenses to that. Still time to think it all over...... Another consideration is that oktober 3 is week 39 for primes/zoom ends between 270 and 276 mm. So a 135 mm with a 2x converter would work but I would need an Olympus OM 2x converter which I don't have  , does anybody else have one I could borrow for the day?And it will be oktoberfest as well, which dictates at least one prime lens added to the bag. Why is life so complicated? ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

We need to start watching the weather forecast, and looking today it doesn't look very good for next sunday: https://www.buienradar.nl/weer/dordrecht/nl/2756669/14daagse - Buienradar 14 daagse voor Dordrecht Looking at the details it seems all rain is falling between 10h and 17h  I have a couple of thoughts about this (in random order) 1: There's also a lot of wind forecasted, so it still could blow over or get there much faster, it's still 5 days away 2: We still have a back-up date of oktober 24 "pencilled in" 3: There's no bad photography weather, only insufficient gear protection 4: Weather forecast for the 2019 Haarlem meeting was also very bad, but we went ahead and had a gorgeous day I think it's too early to take a decision at this moment, but it's definitely something we need to discuss here further. Any other thoughts are very welcome. ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

Weeronline predicts 21.8 mm rain on Sunday. Buienradar gives reasons for hope after 16:00, before that 1-2 mm/hr of rain. In my opinion it is not worth it. ------------- “People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.” Søren Kierkegaard https://www.flickr.com/photos/paulemans/ - My Flickr |

Let's look tomorrow around noon and take a final decision then. Prediction for sunday has been up and down all week so it might look better again tomorrow. But if it remains "as is" I agree it's better to postpone until the 24th. So "watch this space" ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

Another thought If tomorrow weather forecast remains bad and we cancel (probability of that seems high) we will move the meeting to oktober 24 (as agreed before) But in addition we could meet with those who feel like it around 15:00, have coffee/tea/other and by the time it's dry (probably around 15:30/16:00) we go out and do a late afternoon stroll, have dinner and afterwards do some evening/night shots in the harbour area. Might be too late for people who have to work the next day but in case there's a few others interested in such a plan I would drive to Dordrecht for this. This would be in addition to oktober 24, not instead of, and would only be if we have to cancel the normal meeting tomorrow. ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

| I like your late afternoon plan Pieter; I'm looking forward to 'Dordrecht after the rain'! My only worry is that there's not much wind tomorrow so chances are the rain will linger for a few hours more. In that case it's a no go I'm afraid. So for me it's a: yes, unless ... We can make it definite tomorrow morning, can't we? |

Here's the weatherforecast for tomorrow in Dordrecht https://pegelli.smugmug.com/Other/My-Smug-Mug/n-SzsWG/i-6Bj93C8/A">  Basically continuous rain until about 15:00 but after that even a little sunshine. Even though the weather foracasters hall of fame is an empty building (great quote Fred ) I think most forecasts I've heard on radio/television say it's clearing up in the afternoon.So I think it's wise to postpone the normal meeting planned for tomorrow to oktober 24, I think the chances that the rain will move away faster are zero to none. The late afternoon/dinner/evening plan still looks feasible and we have Fred, Domien, Leo and myself as potential participants, but of course everybody is welcome to join. In case Leo's fear (rain staying around much longer) we can still cancel that tomorrow around noon. So in short: 1: The "official" meeting is postponed until oktober 24 2: A smaller group (but everybody welcome) will decide about a late afternoon/evening shoot tomorrow around noon In case it goes ahead I suggest we'll meet around 15:00 in "Dordts Genoegen", Voorstraat 256, 3311 ET Dordrecht and take it from there. I would appreciate if everybody can post below that they have seen that the meeting is postponed until the 24th, I always worry someone still shows up at 10:30 in the meeting place and finds himself there alone. I really would like to avoid that at all cost. ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

I will put 24th in the agenda. If we're on for Sunday 15:00 I'll be there. It allows me to go speed-cycling in the morning (yes, 50 km in the pouring rain, nothing a hot shower cannot fix) and I will check this thread around noon. ------------- “People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.” Søren Kierkegaard https://www.flickr.com/photos/paulemans/ - My Flickr |

I have been following this vicariously wishing I could be there to meet the group and shoot together. I have been rewarded with the "forecasters hall of fame is an empty building." I usually shoot alone but I have a friend that I occasionally go out with to shoot. Here is a typical plan. Me - "Bob, let's try next Tuesday morning with Saturday as a back up for bad weather." Bob - "Sounds good." Bob (six days before the Tuesday)- "Roger, there is a rain chance of 70% for Tuesday so it's looking like Saturday." "Me - "Bob, and you believe that prediction. How old are you?"  Enjoy your day together (or day and a half). Wish I was there, good or bad weather. ------------- Hatred corrodes the container it is carried in. http://rogerrex.zenfolio.com/ |

Hi Pieter and others, Yes I have seen this post, and can confirm that the weather on 3 October was awful in Rotterdam until about 3:30 pm. Since you are moving to 24 October, you can also count me in. ------------- minolta owner since 1969;A350-CZ1680-G70300-Tamron60F2-Minolta100F2-35105-28135-50F1.7; NEX6-E1650-E18105G (& 5 x minolta MC/MD) |

Reading the posts above (and some guessing) the group for the 24th looks to be: - @Jetsplace + Marcel (depending on dog sitting/carrying capabilities) - KoBra64 - overeema - Fred_S - der dickgg - Harm vb (depending on the state of exhaustion after a long 2CV drive) - Snegren - Dirk - rvangompel - Dopol - addy landzaat - pegelli Not 100% sure about darosa Just post below if you want to join, there's plenty room for more, even if you're not mentioned in this post or I forgot to include you. But now the bad news, weather for Dordrecht the 24th looks like ~4,5 mm of rain over the entire day at the moment, but too far away to see when it will fall. Also still far away, so it might still change. So watch this space for any updates. Let's keep our fingers crossed the late morning & afternoon is dry. ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

Is there anyone joining with a serious long e-mount lens (like the 200-600) ? I'm still hooked on my good old A900 and a A77II. As I'm planning to expand to some more serious birding next spring, I consider to switch to e-mount. (the alternative is long A-mount lenses but then it will be legacy MinO stuff like 400/4.5+TC or even longer. The Somy 500/4 is extremely rare and expensive. So E-mount is an option, but I'm quite unfamiliar with it So I'm eager to hear some advises on gear, both body and lenses, during the meet. ------------- |

Thanks Pieter. Dordrecht is fine by me (for a walk not a swim ), never been there but I can imagine that those who attended october the 3rd would like a different environment. But maybe Dordrecht is big enough for a second visit.Just a thought. |

@Dirk, the person to ask that question is Ton Valk (digiton), he has a FE200-600 and uses it for birding, but sofar he has not signed up for the meeting. The other good advice you could get is from Domien (Dopol), he uses the FE100-400 with the 1.4x converter, also for birding. @KoBra64, I think Dordrecht is big enough, we only started walking around 3:30 pm so only saw a very small piece, the whole area on the west- and southside are still unexplored. ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

It is still on our agenda but today we received a puppy. I have to look if he can join in a doggy-backpack but he might already be to big. He is to small to leave at home. This will be a last minute decision for us as we still have to get used to eachother. ------------- Jet Without deviation from the norm progress is not possible ..

I hope Marcel and you can make it Jet. Don't you have a "bolderkar" or old buggy to cart the pup around at the times (s)he is too tired to walk by itself? Seems more comfortable than carrying it around in a backpack. Weather forecast for the 24th is looking better every day, I hope that trend continues ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

Not really - but I can look if it is possible to arrange something. We have a doggybackpack - but the pup is bigger than expected. So it is not really a fit. I am working on it to find a solution. ------------- Jet Without deviation from the norm progress is not possible .. Zappa I use google translator to help me with my English |

Reposted from the first post in this thread to repeat where and and what time we meet the 24th. The weatherforecast is looking better and better from a photographic perspective (dry with sun and clouds) but also cold and windy so you better dress adequately for that. Let's keep our fingers crossed the weather remains as currently forecasted, if it does I think we'll have a splendid afternoon walking around the old town. ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

I won't be there Pieter. I feel this 2nd Dordrecht meet is a bit close to the first one; and the weather forecast is just too good :-) I'm sure you'll have a great time. Enjoy! |

Hi Domien, for me this would be interesting, since I think about changing to e-mount and would need a long lens for birding ------------- |

https://flic.kr/p/2mDPhUB"> We do have a way to transport him (I could borrow a cart) - and made a test-drive (and took pictures).. but it is not really a success. He keeps crying to get out and is really not happy with it. It needs far more time to have him used to it. To bring him tomorrow will not be a good idea so I am sorry to say we are cancelling for tomorrow. ------------- Jet Without deviation from the norm progress is not possible ..

That's a pity Jet, but giving Jip the best socialisation during these early times with you is very important for his further life so I understand the difficulty. Weather around Gouda also looks splendid tomorrow, so plenty of opportunity for a long walk with some training ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/april-foolishness-2023-the-exhibition_topic142439.html - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

You'll get through Jet. We have the same puppy cart and used it with a few dogs. They get used to it, but need a little time, so no worries. It's a pity for tomorrow but 1st things 1st! ------------- |
