Cathedral Of Christ The Light (map)
We have our first mini-meetup this Saturday, Feb 25! Some of you responded yes to weekdays, I'll try to set up a mini-meetup for sometime during the week as well. We need ideas for location. Any ideas?
Downtown Walnut Creek-- lot's of people--lot's of great shot potentials.
Michael, I hope it won't be a problem, but people wrote and said they prefer the afternoon.
Sounds Great! Depending on whether or not you want to shoot "Lifestyle (Sorry Graham)", nature, or portrait-ish... Lake Merritt, Tilden Park, Martinez (Downtown & Marina) or Treasure Island? My local favorite is Lake Merritt.
Martinez is a great location, so much variety at the pier/nature area. I love portraiture, but I'm open to discussion. Do you have a particular area in mind? Michael's voted for Walnut Creek, which is great. I'm still open to ideas though.
On a Saturday afternoon, Jack London Square offers lots of fun possibilities -- people, boats, waterscapes and the built environment. There's probably something to inspire everyone! For the same reason, you can't go wrong with Lake Merritt, and Walnut Creek also sounds like fun.
I am most fascinated and have a fair amount of experience in doing "street photography-- which is truly great to do with a number of shooters.
OK so we've got two votes for Lake Merrit and Jack London is a great idea as well. I'm open to either, I leave it to you, final vote: Lake Merrit or Jack London?
Both/either are great by me. I have a slight preference in favor of Lake Merritt, as it offers a greater diversity of options.
OK Folks, it's official! 3:30PM at Lake Merritt. We'll follow the lead of the last meetup and meet at the Cathedral of Light: 2121 Harrison Street, Oakland, CA. Can't wait, this'll be fun.
Yes the next mini can be at the Martinez water front a great place to shoot . Also on weekends the courthouse area is pretty much deserted. Great for out door portraiture too.
I would like to join this event, but rsvps are closed. will be there with my greyhound...
Working late. Will try to catch up with you but don't wait.
Anyone interested in taking pics at the Treasure Island flea market? It's happening today, Sunday the 26th.
I'll check my calendar, but I definitely might be up for it.
I'm so impressed and inspired by all the great pix that came out of this event. Be sure to take a look, if you haven't already!
BTW, Marian, thanks so much for organizing this. It was a wonderful event in every way. ;)
Please note the time has been changed so that we will have better light for photographing.
