We are still on for this Sunday 6/13, so I was thinking to do the meet on the Courtney Campbell Causeway and then drive to the hotel and end the cruise either at the Downtown of saint pete or at the Desoto park. Take alot of pictures on the way, rolling shots I wanted to start around 3 or 4PM. How does that sound?

I'm down for whenever. Do we have a designated photographer? Anybody with an SLR camera or skills in photography? Maybe somebody knows of some good locations in which we can have a little photoshoot or something.

I have a camera Nkon D90 with regular and ultra wide angle lenses, there are nice location on the bridge and at the hotel, jrocka312 said that we can take pictures at the hotel parking garage and around there, ill PM him for details. But if anybody got a DSLR camera, please bring it. I have posted a link for some of my photos on the first page. Most of them were edited to look like HDR, but there are few that are untouched.

At my hotel, I do not have a multi level parking garage however right next to me is John's Pass. They do have a parking garage and after work today I am going to ride over and see what is on the top level. I can't remember ever being up there! I will confirm for everyone...

Ah man, I knew someone was going to mention photoshoot, now I have to wash my car...

I'll bring my Nikon D70, and my Canon HG21 camcorder, but I guarantee you don't want me as the official photo guy.
I hope to see you guys this Sunday.

My mother has a Nikon D40 I could bring, but I don't think she'd be too keen on that idea Her camera is her baby. Besides, I'm a point and click guy, and in no way a professional I'd be along the lines of a photography noob

Nikon D90 is a great camera, bring it and you can experiment with it, Ill try answer some questions that you may have, but I aint a pro, trial and error is the way to learn.

I might pick your brains a bit about some settings, hopefully the D70 and D90 are similar. My dad's D300 is quite different with the button and option layout, but it takes fantastic pictures in low light.
I'll shoot some pix and obviously share with all you guys, but I think I have a spot on the photo-sensors of my camera I have 2 lenses, and a dot in a certain spot persits independant of the lense i use.

I hope my wife will come too, so she can film a bit while we're rolling.

I know it's early in the week, are we still thinking 3-4pm? And where on the bridge are we meeting? Tampa side by rocky point, or clearwater side by the boat launch on the north side, or south side/sandy side?

As promised, after work yesterday I rode over to John's Pass to confirm the parking garage situation. It is a small garage, but that top level is open. I snapped a few pictures so you guys can see and decide for yourselves....

Well, I can! Do you mean follow each other over, or ride in the same vehicle. Only reason for asking is because I have friends in town, and may not be in New Tampa til quite late. Let me know...

On the location-On the Tampa side, right? Closest to Crabby Bills/Whiskey Joe's(??)??

What is the final plan here? Where are we all meeting and what time? I desperately want to get an awesome photoshoot of all of us. I am trying to get a sweet picture blown up and framed. I am a dork and pretty proud of my A-SPEC. I love this car more than my S2000, civic, or even my beloved prelude type sh which was da bomb!!!

Jrocka312, this is a sweet spot for a shoot, If no obections, I would love to start the meet on the Courtney Campbell bridge on Tampa side, little passed the Crabby Bills/Whiskey Joe's right across the boat ramp at 3:00 - 3:30 PM and leave no later than 4:00 PM,and than drive to the John's Pass parking garage. There we can decide where to go after if we have enough time. Desoto park is nice but a bit far, or we can go to Saint Pete downtown.

Sorry, I meant follow each other over. If you can't because of your friends, its all good. I'll just ride over by myself.

Sorry, I'm a little dense, do you want to meet in the parking area by the boat launch (north side/west bound lane) or on the otherside (south side/eastbound lane)?
also do you have the address on the parking garage, i wanna see how far it is and all that.

No, we can ride over together. I meant that I would not be heading straight back to New Tampa, after. We can meet Sunday, say 2:30?

That sounds great! I have no objections! My hotel is right next to John's Pass if we want to stop (if I have sufficient parking). If we end up downtown...I actually live right there on the 6th Ave N behind the Marriott Vinoy. We could ride up the pier and get some awesome shots with the city in the background. We could cruise down through beach drive...oh the options are endless. If there is a few of you that want to stay and party we can make a pit stop at my place and go get some drinks!!!
