Photo Night anyone??

keninseattle · 08-11-2008, 02:13 PM

Hey all. As most of you know I'm a member of pnwriders.com and have been organizing Bike Nights for the past 14 months. I noticed Eric posted up wanting to put together a photo shoot night (way back in March). I didn't notice any posts on how it turned out or if anybody ever showed up. Soooooo, I thought I'd see if there would be any interest in doing something like this. For Bike Night we eat dinner at a local eatery and everybody (almost everybody) rides their bikes to the location. Most plan rides either before or after the dinner so it's not only a way to meet and greet fellow forum members but also get some miles on the bike. I spent some time talking to Eric yesterday at Pacific Raceways and learned sooooo much about lenses. I now know which wide angle lens I want to get and he answered quite a few questions that I had. I've also picked Darren's brain a time or two and it's helped me with camera issues I was having. (thank you Darren for schooling me on my aperture setting for outdoor events). As a newbie to the world of photography I feed off of the knowledge and talent that my fellow forum members provide. I thought it would be cool to meet up for dinner and then go someplace for a photo shoot. It could be sunsets, night shots downtown or whatever. Please post up if you'd be interested in doing something like this. Thanks.

I've been thinking about this too. It would be cool to meet at a restaurant for a bite and a drink and maybe lay down an "assignment" for the night, afterwards everyone goes their own way, single or in groups of two or three, for a set amount of time to capture some images. After the set time (90 minutes, or two hours...?) has elapsed we'd meet up again for more drinks and a chance to review each other's photos and share experiences. By splitting the group up into individuals or small groups of two or three, I think it would avoid every body returning with the same photos of the same subject. Might be kind of fun to meet in Pioneer Square at the Elysian, or Colin's Pub on a weeknight sometime, the later the better.

Doesn't seem to be much interest. Maybe there could be a section of the forum for people to post up photo shoots that they are going to go on. Then if others would like to join then they could. Just a thought.

I'd be in, too. Weekends preferably, though. I'm in Silverdale.
