Since I got into photography just a few short months ago, I've sought out other photographers. How better to learn than to form friendships with good photographers who are willing to share their knowledge? It is also good to have some photographer friends to go on photo outings with, so I'm not just the lone geek with a camera running around.
To that end, I've found a few local groups and I've had the chance to make a few meetings and photo walks with each one. Through these channels, I've formed some great friendships with some talented photographers. I found these groups through the Meetup site, which is a great resource for locating groups for virtually any hobby or interest that you might have.
The shot I'm posting today was taken on a Meetup outing with the Amateur Photographers Social Club. They arranged a private tour of the Westcave preserve near Austin. It was a great time! I made new friends and came away with some great photos. This shot is of the grotto behind a waterfall. It is an HDR comprised of 5 exposures. Click the photo to see the full processing info, as well as a larger view on my flicker photostream.
Other great meetup groups I've found include Austin SMUG and the Austin Photography Group. Checkout the Meetup site and seek out a photography group near you! Maybe you'll get to visit some great locations like Westcave and make some new photog friends.
