https://grandfather.com/event/grandfather-mountain-photography-weekend/


I've been in communication with Frank at GFM. The nature museum and
auditorium are currently under construction and undergoing massive
upgrades, so they aren't available for use. So with no food services
and no place to hold the photo presentations or contest and awards
there's no way they can hold a Nature Photography Weekend. They're
doing a much more low-key event (everything outdoors) in August this
year.
  
  



That's what it says in the link.

"Due to COVID-19 and ongoing renovation to the Grandfather Mountain Nature 
Museum, the nonprofit nature park’s annual Nature Photography Weekend and Camera 
Clinic have been combined into one event for 2021"


Maybe next year it will go back to being separate weekends or maybe the new 
format will work well and they'll decide to keep on with it.


But it does say:

"The annual Nature Photography Weekend photo contest will also return."

Will the Doug & Mark show return with it?

Yeah, an email went out to the NPW team members a couple of days ago.
We'd all been expecting it. 

I'm hoping things are settled enough for the Camera Clinic weekend to
run in August.

00:54 Picnic area aka PDML Central. The silver station wagon with the raised

00:57 (L to R) Scott, Nico, Mrs (Bob) Sullivan, Matt Maessen (?) - Correct me if 
I'm wrong on any of these and/or forgive any mispellings.

Ted Bielby's voice over begins.

years old; died of old age.


02:04 "Cotty junior" again & I think Mat Theissen voice over

02:24 Stan Halpin voice over, "Helen" who was the official photographer for 
Grandfather Mountain that year. A nice person even if she wasn't a Pentaxian.


02:36 One of the bears who is not Mildred.

02:58 Phalacrocorax auritus - official PDML bird

03:10 Otter in the habitat

03:26 Scott (?) & Matt Maessen

"Oasis" - Fernando Terrazzino
"Pass in Review" - John Sessoms

"Unaware of the Stare" - Frank Theriault ("knarF")
"Leaving" - Luka Knezevic-Strika

06:13 Stan Halpin

06:47 Scott Loveless (?) w/ Pentax 645 FILM camera !!!

07:06 Stan Halpin

08:01 Scott Loveless (?)

08:13 group photo - the back of my head & my ragged-ass ponytail only two years 
after I retired from the Army.


08:14 ... and there I am, finally facing the camera. I think that's Doug Brewer 
on the other side of Stan Halpin (with his hands in his pockets).


08:17 Nico, Ted Beilby, Matt Maessen and Mark Roberts

08:20 Matt Maessen, I don't know who, ME.

08:25 Nico, Christine Aguila's husband Darryl (??)

08:28 Matt Maessen

name I don't know and another one I don't remember his name either.


08:37 Ted Beilby

09:06 Helen who is not a Pentaxian

If I've screwed up anyone's name, or misidentified anyone, I apologize.

I was going to suggest somebody provide a crib sheet identifying the folks
shown in the video (and possibly even photo credits for some of the stills).

The guy in the bandana is noted Cuban guerilla leader Stan Halpin.

Many thanks. An interesting bit of nostalgia. I'd love to be able to 
attend a gathering like that.  Being a relatively new PDML member I 
don't know who the "stars" are. Perhaps someone could assist with that? 
The narrator wearing the bandanna & the members of the group scene?

The shots on and around the mountain bring back memories - I haven't 
been there in about 50 years. Although I have lived within about a mile 
of the Parkway (at its closest - the nearest entrance is about 3 miles 
away by road) my range is all in the northern half. When I am on the 
Parkway in recent decades it has always been between Rockfish Gap (mile 
marker 0) and Fancy Gap (mile marker 200).


Last Sunday week I decided to take an afternoon drive to Mabry Mill. I 
hadn't been there in about 20 years and had forgotten its orientation. 
Morning is best for the preferred view of the wheel side of the mill and 
I was there in mid-afternoon. I took a number of shots, but they were a 
bit dull because the mill is a weathered gray. I decided to warm things 
up a bit and this shot, taken through a Hoya Sepia B filter, is my 
favorite:

Steve got to see this message twice. After decades with my old email 
client I finally had to switch to something current. I am still learning 
it and haven't yet figured out how to set it to default to replying to 
the list instead of the sender.

Who shall remain nameless but was in fact Brian Walters :-)

I also had a message from Scott Loveless saying that he thinks it might be 
buried on an old drive somewhere but it might take time to look for it.

the only question remains is that shall I let him know he doesn't have to look

Re: Grandfather Mountain Video Request

[John]

I'm pretty sure it was 2009, because that was the first year I attended & I 
remember seeing the back of my sweater in one of the scenes. Plus, I remember 
one of my images from the first PDML annual was briefly shown.


I wish I'd downloaded a copy, but I thought I'd always be able to watch it on 
Cotty's website if I wanted to. What video format would it be in? I doubt I have 
it, but I'll search anyway.

Re: Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend

[John Sessoms]

Unfortunately, my alternative (Earthlink) is also being screwed up by
spammers right now. Several of the IP addresses for their mail servers
keep getting blacklisted by the SPAM catching service the PDML Server
uses. If my post to PDML catches one of those IP addresses it gets
bounced by the PDML server.

Finding anyone at Earthlink to address the problem is almost as
difficult as finding someone at Yahoo.

... and y'all should remember all the aggravation Time-Warner &
Roadrunner email gave me (and AnnSan).

Re: Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend

[John Sessoms]

I'm currently using Yahoo for PDML.

There's a known problem between Yahoo & Gmail regarding mailing lists.
Gmail says Yahoo mail fails Yahoo's own authentication and marks the
Yahoo messages as SPAM.

I'm pretty sure there's a way Gmail can create a filter to white-list
the email address.

Sadly not I.

Possibly doing a trip to the USA but likely to be September time.

That said, I will retire in 3 years so you won't be able to get rid of
me then!

Re: Grandfather Mountain 2015

[John]

Like I said, I'm sure I wasn't the only one who suggested they could do 
better.


I'm planning to attend IF I don't forget to register on time (done that 
before). But I live in Raleigh, NC, so it's not a big journey for me, 
plus there's always a big contingent from the Carolinas' Nature 
Photography Association that I belong to.


Here's the program:

The only one I'm familiar with is Vinnie.

I think it used to be done by telephone at midnight until the last
several years when they switched to on-line registration. They tried to
get that live at midnight, but for some reason the servers just wouldn't
cooperate. You couldn't get registered until somebody came to work in
the morning to straighten on-line registration problems out.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who suggested that if their
internet support staff wouldn't come in special to fix registration
problems at midnight they should just delay the start of registration

Looks like that's what they're doing this year.

I will probably go again this year.

Last year I did register on 1 April, but sometime later in the day IIRC. And I 
had the impression from something I saw that there were still spaces a few days

John,

I complained about their posting a 12:00 time, was that AM or PM?
They needed to go 12:01 AM to be clearer, but you're right.
The servers never worked at those times.  Hope this is better.

I registered for last year, but bailed out at the last minute.
No refund, so I imagine there wasn't much of a waiting list.
Is the program anything special this year?
Who is planning on attending?

Re: Grandfather Mountain 2015

[John]

I don't know if last year sold out or not, but best bet is to figure on
a couple of hours. Last year I registered at about 2 minutes after it
finally opened up & my number was up around 100 (out of I think 164 spaces).

If I don't get a confirmed space, I get 'em to put me on the waiting
list. The two times I've had to do that, I eventually got in.

I think it used to be done by telephone at midnight until the last
several years when they switched to on-line registration. They tried to
get that live at midnight, but for some reason the servers just wouldn't
cooperate. You couldn't get registered until somebody came to work in
the morning to straighten on-line registration problems out.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who suggested that if their
internet support staff wouldn't come in special to fix registration
problems at midnight they should just delay the start of registration

Looks like that's what they're doing this year.

Most of you who plan to attend probably know this already, but I thought
I'd pass it along just in case anyone is thinking about attending for
the first time or the first time in a long time.

The 2015 Nature Photography Registration will open at 8:00 AM Eastern
Daylight Time on Wednesday April 1 instead of Midnight as it has been in
the past.

They're also going to allow participants to enter GFM at 10:00am on
Friday, May 29, instead of mid-afternoon, to give participants more time
to shoot during the day.

I got their email on March 14, so that will give you some idea how far
behind I am on stuff.

Can't watch the tribute vid - too sad

Note to the outsiders: Caesar was called sherpa because he was carrying 
a tripod around for me.


Frank and I mostly agreed on important stuff so I suspect we were not

I didn't have a digital camera in June 2004 (got one a month or so

Re: Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend

[John]

Well, just so you know ... my experience when it did happen last year,
they corrected it RIGHT AWAY.

Everybody makes mistakes now and then, the telling is in how they handle
them. They handled theirs well.

Whatever the reason, this time it worked. I’ve only received 3 emails

If they're not going to have someone around to fix the inevitable

they don't set it up to go live at 8:00 am when there's someone

It appears to be fixed now. I was able to place my order this
morning. I've gotten 5 emails from Grandfather Mountain since I
successfully registered 15 minutes ago, TWO of them being
confirmations that I'm registered.

I will be checking my statements closely to be sure that doesn't

I got charged twice last year, but I sent Landis an email & she had
it fixed within 24 hours.

Re: Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend

[John]

There shouldn't be any shipping involved.

You register & then you show up at the tent down by McCrae Meadows at
3:00pm on Friday May 30, to check in and pick up your packet.

I have had trouble with the online registration every year since they
went to it. The first couple of years I went, they still had the
telephone registration by the 800 number & you just started calling at
midnight EDT and kept redialing until you got through.

I sent 'em an email & I left a voice mail. I'm going to bed & I'll call
'em again first thing in the morning.

Chris,
You should visit some time.
It would be a very different experience from Chicago and the prairies
of Illinois.
The people are quite friendly and the Blue Ridge mountains are very different
from anything I've ever seen.
Previous visitors to GFM may not have recognized the sunshine.
We had 3 days of sunshine and no rain - happy campers but harsh light.

And I was hoping to attend that this year, but our bus company is
doing the start up meetings, bus route and bus pick ups differently
this year and my meeting falls on that Friday, so no can do.

Re: Grandfather Mountain has 6 open seats!

[Bob Sullivan]

I don't know.
I don't think a cancelation fee will keep anybody from signing up.
It sells-out too fast.
We could pay a bit higher fee if they need the money,
but I'd like access to the mountain all Friday afternoon.
It's a 1.5 day drive, and by 1-2 pm Friday, we're there.
