[luenny]

Meet at 9am for breakfast?? Can we go earlier like depart for ubin at 8am or something?? Shooting after lunch can be very hot. Besides you'll be missing all the wonderful morning light.

[Shadow]

The tide is low at 8:35 (10/5), does it mean earlier would be better?

Robert,
We are shooting butterflies and other macro insects, so tide shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway I also prefer earlier start.

Go as early as you can if Ubin....
Strong winds normally sets in in the later morning after 11am etc. You will know when you see Simon starts smoking and resting in the shed longer than usual

Luenny,
Did you send pictures to the photo shop I recommended? Do you think they are good enough?

Actually we can depart on different times...since butterfly hill is really a short walk from the jetty...

I will try to be there at 8am...shouldn't be too difficult...Hopefully, the wind will be friendly on that day!

Billy,
Didn't send to photoshop. End up I just print them myself (8R). Smaller but saves me $$$ since I have the paper at home already.

Wynx,
8 am is fine. We can go breakfast and then leave for Ubin. By the way, where is it exactly? Does someone have a map or something?

[Simon]

okie, meet up at 8am.
