After going to a few of the local meets, I noticed there are usually a few of us with cameras running about. So, I thought I would see if there would be any interest in a meet to connect some local hobbyists (and if we have any "real" / professionals in our midst), and talk about gear, tech (web hosting sites and Photoshop) and subjects (an autocross shoot at the local track, specific on location shoots with cars -- not that parking lots aren't wonderful settings...). Perhaps on Saturday 2.13 or 2.20?

Obviously open to other ideas, but thought I would get this rolling...

 

Paul this is a great idea, I'm in the tech industry and would love to share knowledge etc.

An Autocross venue would be great and it's something I've wanted to do for a while...

 

I would love to get together. I've been trying to meet some more people and share some knowledge as well as pick up some tips so this would be a great way to get a lot accomplished. Both dates work for me.

 

Once all the snow is gone I am up for meeting up too. I am new to the area and would like to meet some fellow car people.

 

May wanna wait till the weather is a little warmer and the 17 feet of snow has melted. Maybe in March? I'm in either way. I may be going to the Baltimore auto show on the 13th of February though.

 

Yeah, the weather would have to be much better for me. The 13th could be pushing it but maybe the 20th. Like Tonk said, we may have to wait until March.

 

Sounds good to me as well.

I'm sure by then even the Honda Fit will trump whatever hill-staffer salaried, hamster driven mess of non-accelerating car I'll be piloting.

 

Any more updates on this?

 

I've been taking my own photos, but would love to find someone who actually knows what they're doing .

Here's what I've done this past week

 

Nice shots dwpers. What are you shooting with?

 

Surprisingly an 8 year old 5.1 MP Sony DSC-P100 point and shoot on a tripod.

It's not about your gear, it's about how well you know how to use it I say haha. Only problem is 35mm is a very narrow range. It can't do wide angle, fish eye or true telephoto lens shots. I would get a DSLR (Nikon or Canon), god knows I've held on to this point and shoot long enough. I just don't have the spare cash to get a better camera.

 

I agree.
You certainly know how to use your point n shoot cause your pictures look like they were shot with an SLR

 

Check Craigslist. I saw a Canon 20D in mint condition last week for $350.

 

Good stuff man
I saw your car at IMA Motorsport last Saturday right?

 

Thanks. Yup I was there for a bit .
