We want to foster friendship, share education,
location ideas and get some group imaging sessions together.
We chat in the evenings using YIM and make plans to go on trips
to save gas :-) We have had Studio Lighting classes
created just for us and 16 of us went on a trip
to Yosemite together for the Spring dogwoods
and the May Full Moonbow!!
good people, good times=good images :-)
Went to Yosemite 6 times last year because of this group
to get the snow in the valley floor, dogwoods in bloom & fall color.
We've even conducted 5 group outings to the Elephant Seals at Ano Nuevo,
and our patented "kamikaze trips" to Bodie & Mono Lake, etc.
Last year we added new trips to Elkhorn Slough Photo Tours
and to SafariWest.
We have members that like ALL kinds of photography,
including Weddings/Portraits, studio, Cycling,
Wildlife (aka Fur & Feathers), Underwater and Astro-photography,
Macro, Nascar, Large Format,
and we welcome you whether you use film or digital and even freaky/inspired PS'ed is OK ;-)
And look forward to welcoming ALL serious amateurs that
would like to share the same excitement....
NB: This is a totally PRIVATE Group and you can join by Invitation ONLY.
For member safety All applicants should expect to be screened..... Thanx
