This group is dedicated to photography at locations all over California but mainly Northern California. If you look at the "We're About" area to the left, you will find genres that don't seem to belong together in one group. Normally I would agree, but with Safari Shooting, you could be shooting great landscapes, waterfalls or nature one day and the next meetup could be Fashion at a Ghost Town in the middle of nowhere. The purpose of this group is not to be confined to one type of photgraphy an …

Welcome to this meetup group - under new management! I have taken over as organizer so we will be moving forward in a bit of a different direction.  Mike previously focused on studio photography but I shoot outdoors more often than not so we will include a lot of natural and outdoor-off camera lighting as well. A bit about me - I started in January 2012 shooting bodybuilding/figure and bikini competitions and have shot several of these across the country in 2012.  I attended several seminar styl …

I would like to create events where people get together to take portraits of each other. I came up with this idea of creating this group, because I own a Nikon DSLR and found that it is hard to take pictures of myself with this clunky camera, so instead I have lots of photos of friends but not much photos of myself. I figure there should be lots of people out there in same predicament as me. so the idea is we come with interesting and adventurous locations where we can bring our cameras and help …
