Hi people,

Use this thread to show off your photos from the 1st Ottawa Flickr Meet. A group of us met at the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill, Saturday, August 26th, at 4 PM. We hiked around Parliament and into the Market, taking photos as we went. It was fun!

one thing - please tag all your photos from the meet with ofm-aug2006 - that way we can find all of everybody's photos whether they're posted here or not.

Hey guys, I tried but failed to meetup with y'all. Realised once I was there that I didn't know what any of you looked like, and everybody at the flame was pointing a camera.

I was the one on the bicycle with the widdle doggie. Here's the picture to prove it:

I was only there a short while, and Edith was getting sick of all the attention (and I had to use the loo) so we split.

Glad ya'll had fun.

I was out of town and didn't plan to stop by but I see your point.

yeah, we all realized once we got there that there was a tour group starting with everybody pointing cameras and that it was going to be impossible to tell who was there from flickr... we just tried to look as conspicuous as possible. next time we'll bring big pink and blue dots and fd's flickr badges to identify us.

...or maybe some of these.

Yes the meet was lots of fun. We trekked about downtown and shot lots of pics and then downed a few pints.
@ms oddgers:Sorry we missed you but we were disguised as tourists!

I finally got around to getting my pictures up and here they are:

Ok, my turn. It was good to get the chance to put faces to icons. In fact, we'd probably have had an easier time finding each other if we'd pasted our icons over our faces.

I'd be happy to do this again, and it would be great if a few more people could join us. Espcially if they look like their icons...

Here are a few from me:

I guess I'm last up.

Yes indeed, it was a good time. I haven't done a photo shoot like that since I was a kid with my buddies out west... it was fun to get together and do it and fun to view all the results. Fascinating in the "sameness" and in the "differences"!

Let's do it again... and anyone from out of town who might be able to make it to Ottawa would be welcome to join us!

As a matter of fact... I'm going to create a new post right now!

And here's three from me:

lock up your statues...

oh yes, join us for tea, please do!

Fenced in Peace

Heh heh...

Glad I'm not the only one that was visually challenged. Nice pics!

{i vote for icons over flickr badges any day}

Sorry I didn't make it guys - I was out cycling with my wife on Saturday afternoon (actually we were out around Andrew Haydon Park - I guess we're a step ahead!). Nice set of photos you managed to capture! I'll try to make it next time around if I'm in town.

A follow up to something mentioned in conversation... someone had commented how they were tired of the "Bee on a Flower" photos... that said... I saw one of the best "Bee on a Flower" shots the other day and had to share it:
