Equipment trading

LotusGem — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:49:38 +0300

Hello all,

I just wanted to post this in the group.

In many cases I find I have some equipment that Im not using like a smallish CF card or an old camera, that I would be glad to swap for a flash or an old lens.

Does any one else have this problem?

I will try posting on classifieds but not very hopeful as things seems to slide down out of the page very quickly.

Im in the market for a 4GB CF card that is reasonably fast and can talk a swap or otherwise.

Qatar Living Robot Zoo Photo Shoot Winner

tallg — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 07:16:19 +0300

I'm happy to at last be able to announce the winner of the recent Qatar Living Robot Zoo Photo Shoot.

The standard of entries was very high, which is why it's taken me 3 weeks to pick a winner ;-)

There were several photos that I thought would have been worthy winners, but the victor was chosen because it was not only a good photo but it also captured the essence of what the Robot Zoo is about; animals, robotics and human interaction.

So I'd like to be the first to congratulate ks1 on their winning photo (click image to see larger version);

ks1 will soon be the proud owner of brand spanking new flickr pro account.

As I said before the standard of entries was very high, so please take the time to check them all out here. Thank you to everyone who entered.

The Robot Zoo is on until the 20th April. See here for more details.

LF: 52mm CPL filter

ivan21 — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 14:38:19 +0300

Does anyone know where I can purchase here in Doha a 52mm CPL filter other than in Salam? I need it badly over this weekend because me and my friends will be driving up North and we are planning for a photoshoot as well. Most of the photoshoot would be done outdoors.

Thanks.

Qatar Living "Robot Zoo" photo shoot

tallg — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:52:54 +0300

It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce the details of the next Qatar Living photo shoot;

Subject: The Robot Zoo

Location: The marquee by Orry on The Corniche

Dates: 13th February to 2nd March

Submission: A maximum of 4 photos added to the Qatar Living flickr group and tagged with "robot zoo" before midnight 2nd March.

For more information about The Robot Zoo please visit the official website. (Don't worry that it doesn't mention coming to Doha, I've seen it with my own eyes. It's definitely here!)

The exhibition actually runs from 13th February to 20th April, but we don't want the photo shoot to drag on for that long. Opening times are 8am to 8pm (2pm to 9pm Fridays) and there is a QR5 entrance fee (which goes to charity). Mornings will see more group bookings (schools etc) but it will still be open to the general public. If you wish to arrange a specific date & time for QL members to meet and take photos then please do so via the comments below.

While the exhibition is clearly aimed at educating children I think it will provide a good opportunity to take some interesting photos, and being indoors will test your skills with the flash, ISO settings and your ability to keep a steady hand!

For help with submitting your photos please refer to this previous post. Feel free to PM me or leave a comment below if you're having difficulties.

Note that the dates quoted for this event in recent newspaper articles are incorrect. I have been down to the marquee and spoken to one of the organisers who gave me the details above.
