I haven't yet been active with any photo clubs, but my experience with other clubs has shown me that the best, and easiest, way to get events that work well for me is to instigate them myself. If you're an early morning person, then instigate an event to go out and photograph sunrises, then meet someplace for breakfast afterwards. If you wanted to get more socializing for your day, other people could meet at breakfast and you could go someplace else and photograph until lunch. I suspect that one of the biggest advantages you will get is the boost of enthusiasm from hanging other people who enjoy photography, but you may also likely meet one or two other people who enjoy your style and schedule of photography to go and shoot with on smaller events. > -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
