If it's on the Rock or Nova Scotia, I'd be down for it.

When are you planning to do that? If it's after the end of May, let me know. I'm getting posted to Gagetown (Oromocto) N-B. Would be nice to shoot with enthusiasts!

So there is some interest in this. We'll have to figure out the details.

What do you guys like to shoot? what Festivals or events could we take advantage of?

 

[Marc-Etienne]

Give nature and I'll be happy I would say my favorite things to photograph are
1 - Wildlife
2 - Vegetation (flowers, forest)
3 - Natural landscape
4 - Macro of any sort

I think that the east coast as a lot to offer to satisfy me!!:mrgreen:
Brilliant idea to get together! Very little people around me around enthusiast and share my interest. I'm corrupting one of my friend and my dad, so far that is it...

i do a lot of aviation stuff but am looking to work on my skills at other things this year. so i'm down to do landscapes, people, whatever really.

be good to have an outing with like minded folks!

go out and do some shooting, then top up on "inspiration" by the pint afterwards. lol

Theres the wildlife park in shubenacadie ns... Not sure if thats too far for anyone. Theres also the Magnetic hill zoo here in Moncton... Theres also a tulip festival in truro in the spring

Just a couple ideas.

I have a friend in Nova Scotia that teaches Photography at NSIT, i've Emailed her asking if theres a chance she would be interested in holding a workshop the morning of the trip. Might be a fun day for her too.

If people are willing to drive a little bit, Highland National park and the Cabot trail is always a winner in term of landscape! Hard to beat on the east coast (maybe outside NFLD weast coast). Fundy National park and the monster tides could give a bunch of opportunities also.
I like the tulip festival and zoo idea:thumbup: More centered for everyone than Cape Breton.

plenty of time for ideas, i asked Sue My friend if she could think of anything.

Too bad you hadn't joined the forum earlier.

Last summer there was a meet-up of members in NFLD. I couldn't make it, but they seemed to have a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, many of those members don't post too much around here anymore.

You have a friend! Wow! I gotta get me one of them...

But seriously...

There is also the Wildlife/Bird sactuary in Sackville, of Fundy National Park, or even Centenial Park or Mapleton Park right here in Moncton.

There are lots of places... But I suggest we wait until warmer weather. This snow and sub zero temperature plus more snow headed this way tomorrow (ish)... It really sucks. I much prefer the warm and colors of flowers, grass, and trees...

lol, ya i was thinking atleast spring if not summer. I am planning to take my vacation this year in cape breton.

 

[altitude604]

thankfully i can fly down to Halifax for cheap so Nova Scotia would be perfect. lol

Sounds like a great idea. Count me in depending on the time and place of course.
