London Camera Meetup

sHo0sH · 6 Feb 2019 at 10:04

Hey Guys,

I am struggling to use my camera enough.

Would anyone be interested in a walk-around one Saturday/Sunday in the next couple of months?

++Update 1++
Doodle for dates on this one - have limited it to before April.
https://doodle.com/poll/s8kaigwkyrmv68ns

Check all the dates you could potentially make, and we will see which is the most popular. I'll keep the poll open until the 13th Feb.

++UPDATE 2++
The most popular date were on Sundays, and the first one I'm at at a stag do, so let's get this booked in for Sunday 31st March. It should give time enough to fit it in for all.

I may be interested on a Sunday in the next little while

Steeps · 6 Feb 2019 at 11:29

Would be up for getting the train down and having a walk

EGuitarStar · 6 Feb 2019 at 11:38

I'd be up for that. A good idea. Only that I won't be available till the first weekend of March now.

GSXRMovistar · 6 Feb 2019 at 11:41

Are Micro Four Third users welcome?

I live in London and I know @Bes does as well. He/she might be interested.

Any suggestions for good locations? I have lived here for nearly a decade but can't think of one off the top of my head.

Poll completed.

Depends really, off the top of my head:

Graffiti around Shoreditch
Modern architecture around Eastcheap / Leadenhall area.
Views of the London skyline - Crystal Palace, Greenwich or Parliament Hill
Street - basically anywhere (Covent Garden, Borough Market are pretty good though)
Hampstead Heath or Richmond Park for some nature

Views of the London skyline - Crystal Palace, Greenwich or Parliament Hill - don't know Crystal Palace of Parliament Hill well but yeah some nice views from Greenwich Park
Hampstead Heath or Richmond Park for some nature - definitely Richmond Park or Bushy, not hard to get close up to the deer

sHo0sH · 6 Feb 2019 at 21:39

There are also some tall buildings to go up, like the Sky Garden (needs a pass and organising but possible) and Westminster Cathedral for an alternative view

-westy- · 7 Feb 2019 at 09:03

Poll completed - Sundays only for me.

Columbo · 8 Feb 2019 at 17:40

I'm up for this and have completed the poll.

sHo0sH · 12 Feb 2019 at 07:13

So I'm going to close the pole tomorrow then sorry the most popular date, anyone that wants to still contribute to the dates please do so, then we can get on to a rough schedule

sHo0sH · 13 Feb 2019 at 07:21

Ok poll results in and updated in OP

sHo0sH · 14 Feb 2019 at 08:48

So is anyone up for hitting both golden hours on this? The clocks go back on the Saturday night I believe, so adjusted times are 06.39 and 19.31.
I understand some will be travelling from outside of London so may be a bit tricky, but it doubles our beautiful light availability. - Thoughts?

-westy- · 14 Feb 2019 at 13:12

I'm up for an early one

Admiral Huddy · 14 Feb 2019 at 14:56

Best thing is set a date, time, place then go from there..

Graffiti around Shoreditch looks ideal.. There's a public "Community " garden just behind Brick lane which is rich of interesting things going.

Tysonator · 17 Feb 2019 at 20:11

Is there a date set yet as I might interested in this little meet up ! ?
