Photography Walks & Workshops in San Francisco by Casey

San Francisco, CA

Let's explore San Francisco by taking pictures (and videos) and learn new techniques along the way. Plus get outside for fresh air and exercise too! About me: I have been doing photography for over 35 years and used to shoot weddings, portraits, commercial work for decades. I am an expert in still photography having started with the Nikon F4 film camera plus the Hasselblad 503cx medium format film camera in the 90s, then transitioned to digital with the Nikon D1x and D2x in early 2000, and more recently changed to all Canon gear with the Canon R5 and 90D and M50 digital cameras. I also actively use the Canon XF400 and G60 camcorders for creating online content for my YouTube channel "Casey On Location". I am also an expert in lighting and exposure as well. Because I enjoy photography and filming, I can also share my knowledge with others who share the same passion. I am a long-time resident of San Francisco since 1980 so I know quite a bit about The City by the bay. So join the group and we can shoot images and videos together at interesting spots in San Francisco, learn a thing or two from each other, and hopefully get in some sunshine and exercise too. IMPORTANT: This group is geared towards users with cameras that have (as a minimum) the "M" mode setting for full MANUAL exposure. You must have a camera whereby you can independently change the exposure values for the aperture (f-stop), shutter speeds, and ISO. This means if you only have and use a smartphone for a camera (ie: iPhone or Android phone), this is not acceptable and you will not be approved to be accepted into this Meetup group. Those members who were previously accepted initially into this group early on and only have and use a smartphone for a camera have a limited grace period to get an acceptable camera to remain in this group.

Alamo Square/Hayes Valley Meetup Group

San Francisco, CA

Hi there! This group is looking to bring new and old residents of Alamo Square/Hayes Valley together. Members should live in the neighborhoods represented here (Hayes Valley/Alamo Square and neighborhoods in between/close by) and be 21+. It's an open group but tailored for women in their late 20s/30s/40s.

Building community and friendships by enjoying all our neighborhood has to offer: park days, walks through the panhandle, drinks, food, and more! While there may be events held in other neighborhoods from time to time, the purpose of this group is to connect residents of Alamo Square and Hayes Valley (and neighborhoods in between).

Real profile photos with your face are required. Three no shows without updating RSVPs will result in being removed from the group. If after several months you haven’t RSVP’ed to any event you may be removed from the group. Meetings are in-person only, unless otherwise mandated by the city, and may be held indoors. The city of San Francisco requires proof of vaccine against Covid-19 to dine or drink indoors. This group, members and guests, follow city mandates related to Covid-19.

Bed to Shred, Biking in The Greater SF Bay Area & Beyond!

San Rafael, CA

We're a group of acoustic mountain bikers, road cyclists, and gravel grinders (SORRY, NO EBIKES). Grab your bike and come roll with us so long as it's purely human powered, in good working order, terrain appropriate, and you can wield it. We'll also offer occasional get fit off the bike opportunities that level up your on the bike time as well as create that innate musculoskeletal protection, via mobility, flexibility, stability, & strength training, to help keep you better protected!

I’m a bike enthusiast, strength and fitness coach, yoga & pilates instructor, bodyworker, and more who’s on a journey to improve my bike skills and fitness, as well as use the bike to continue to restore my health and well being. When the group fills out and has regular dependable attendees the plan is to put together weekend bike adventures. The aim is for all of us average Joes and Janes and the more gifted to support one another to shred on year after year, after decade, on and on! Additionally the hope is to put together weekend bike adventures.Therefore a target is for this to be an active group. We’ll offer both small and the whole enchilada group rides for MTB & road. To encourage active participation and cover the cost of this group there’s a small yearly fee. In order to hold us accountable there's a penalty for no shows. It's an honor system--true emergencies and illness are valid excuses that won't incur a penalty so long as you let us know and remove your name from the RSVP. First cancellation is a freebie. Habitual no showers will be dropped from the group. Window lickers will be dropped from the group. Excluding illnesses, emergencies, and other valid long term absences such as temporarily out of state, etc, those with unexplained long term absences will result in being dropped from the group if you've not made any rides in a quarter and didn’t make an effort to let us know you’ll be away temporarily. It’s all about accountability…we’re here to ride, right, so let’s make it happen!

Do you've a great place to ride...let us know and we'll try and get it on the calendar. Have a time you prefer to ride, but we don't offer that time...if you're willing to be the ride leader let's make it happen, drop us a DM.

Road cycling: safety first, please always have a headlight & red flashing taillight.

Mountain Biking: if the scheduled ride’s w/in 2hrs of sunset it’s advised you have a flood/bar light & spot/helmet light even if it’s expected we’ll be done before dark.

Ideally have a trail app or map of the area. I usually know where I’m going, but say you inadvertently take a wrong turn and no one noticed. You’ll appreciate you’ve a trail app/map; better safe than sorry, although someone’ll eventually come looking for you!! With that if you decide to intentionally separate from the group please let the ride leader know so the calvary isn’t sent out searching for you.

Are you up for carpooling or caravanning to a particular ride? If so, please post in the discussion area of the specific ride you’re interested in. Include relevant details such as: if you’re iso a ride or can drive; rack capacity; where you can meet; and any details you feel are important to you.

FYI: IF no one’s RSVP 24hrs before a scheduled ride, said ride, without notice, MIGHT change in time &or location. Some RSVPs will close BEFORE the day of the event. If you’re n the fence, get off the damn fence and on your bike 😁

Downtown SF Tennis

San Francisco, CA

I'm looking to hit / practice during weekday morning/afternoons at either the Bay Club Gateway, Dolores, or Russian Hill tennis courts (or another court in the same area). Approximately NTRP 4.0 level, but just looking to rally for fun (though with a lot of top spin). I don't have a 9-5 schedule, so I'm looking for others that have that flexibility to play before the busy hours after 5.

Feel free to reach out to me directly or post your own events as well for times that work for you. It looks like Meetup removed the ability to let all members post events, so just message me or reply here if you'd like to post some times yourself and I'll give you event organizer status to do so.

Burlingame, CA

A women’s only group for wonderful women who are 50ish (late forties/fifties +/- ...who's counting -- and I won't check your I.D. ;-)) who love to stay fit and want to get together to exercise (i.e., hiking, running, walking) and/or to meet up for coffee, a glass of wine, and/or fun conversation during early evenings or weekends.

So are you:

fully vaccinated? (Most of us are 3 shots, aka, boosterized!)

wanting to stay fit?

will try to join an event within the first month of joining?

in search of good conversation, good books, and the great outdoors with other like-minded women?

Then, let's get together and have some fun!

I work full time and have a fabulous partner, Doug, so most events will be either early evenings, and/or weekends. I look forward to meeting some fun, fit, and fifty-ish women (I'm 51)!

East Bay Ramblers

Oakland, CA

Welcome to East Bay Ramblers! This group is all about hiking for fun and fitness. We hike on weekday mornings...and also on weekends. If you love to hike, this is the group for you!

Some things you should know about the group:

• Hikes will normally be in the 4 - 10 mile range. 

• We average a speed of 2.5 - 3.0 mph. 

• Each hike posted will indicate the length and difficulty you can expect. Please be considerate of other’s time and only sign up for hikes within your physical ability that you can complete within the time allotted.

• Please RSVP to events only if you plan on attending. Be sure to update your RSVP if your attendance plans change, and avoid last-minute changes whenever possible. 


• We wait at trail junctions to keep the group together, but as soon as stragglers are within sight the group will start off. 

• There will be hills! You will need to be comfortable walking up and down steep hills. 

• Most hikes are held in our beautiful East Bay Regional Parks with some excursions into State Parks and water district properties such as EBMUD and CCWD. We also occasionally organize urban hikes and trips to other regional park systems. 

• Some hikes, but not all, will be DOG FRIENDLY and allow off-leash hiking. Some hikes will be on-leash and some will not allow dogs at all. Each hike will be clearly marked as either Dogs Off-leash, Dogs On-leash, or No Dogs. 

• We are not professional hike leaders and don't have first-aid  training. Participants must be responsible for their own safety and well-being. 

This is a very social group. We like to talk, laugh, and enjoy ourselves while getting our exercise out on the trail. In the Bay Area we are incredibly lucky to be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of open space filled with hiking trails. Join us as we explore and meet new friends!

Peninsula Ladies Social Group

San Mateo, CA

Intelligent, career-driven, hardworking, and in desperate need of a girls' night out. Does this describe you? If so, you're in the right place! Living in the Bay Area as a professional woman is great, except once in awhile you'd like to take a break from work, or the significant other, etc. and just relax and enjoy conversation and a glass of wine over dinner with other similarly situated women. Whether you'd like to expand your social network, are new in the area and want to meet potential friends, or you just want to sit back and enjoy some much needed girlfriend time, this group may be just perfect for you. Monthly meet ups include casual dinners, happy hours, brunch, movies, hiking, bowling, etc. will be set up for all of us to unwind, take a break from everyday drama, and just enjoy each other's company. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

We do require a photo of you on your Meetup profile so we can look for you when we get together. This is a private group, members are not visible to non-members. (You can have unique photos for each of your meetup groups.)
