Here are a couple of quick ideas. Post a flyer up at the local camera store. Run an add on Craigslist.com or post to their forum. Say you are looking for a few photo happy people to start a local photo walk group. Good luck and report back in a few months an update. That might be the easy part. Here are a couple of quick ideas.

It works like this. You meet once a week (or whatever) outside (different local places) and walk a short loop ( or for a certain time frame) and shoot pictures. Then you share the shots taken online on a chosen photo group site like Flickr. :smile: Consider starting your own local photo walking group. It works like this.

Each "X" is 150KB/sec (like CD write speeds). It doesn't help much, but a faster card lets you take photos in quick succession. It won't help with shutter lag at all though as images are first saved to the camera's RAM buffer temporarily, and then written to the memory card, so the write speed of the buffer is always the same. On my Canon Rebel XTi, I can store nine images in the buffer, so even though I have a slow memory card I can take a lot of pictures quickly and then wait for them to be written to the card.

I don't have many photographer friends offline; I should join or start a club someday. Sounds like you had some fun!

I didn’t know memory cards came in different speeds or that could help your photography. :shocked:

I never heard anyone there telling anyone else about not playing with their photos and making them into whatever they wanted. It was a wonderful group of people that loved to experiment with their cameras, photos, darkrooms. I think you would have loved some of their photo experiments - anything went - the final look of the photos was all that counted. We went on some great field trips into the swamps too. :cool: I belonged to a camera club abut 30 years ago.
