    Who would want a Hexus photographic meet?

    Just wondering who would be interested in a hexus photo meet.

    Some pretense with some good snapping opportunities!

    I know some others have said it would be great to be taken on a tour by kushtibari, not that this is a hint

    Me, from Northampton.

    Some good venues here for churches & wildlife. We also have a decent aerodrome with occasional air shows (missed one last weekend!).
    Cheers, David

    Perhaps. But a lot would depend on exactly what, where and when.

    redddraggon, that is possibly the worst photography related pun ever........ I so hope it was intentional



    I would be interested in this, but be aware that I would be using you all as a starter course in pic taking

    Same here as well. Probably won't be able to travel far this year due to other financial commitments.

    Re: Who would want a Hexus photographic meet?

    I think it depends on what sort of thing we're wanting to look at shooting!

    If someone has any ideas for subject matter, quite a few of us seem to be around London, but I'm guessing would be willing to venture out?

    If people want to make suggestions, I'll put a poll up once we've got a few options. Those who are interested if you give a rough location radias, ie for me

    London + say 2 hours travelling

    I'd be willing to venture towards London if we went to an airport

    Dave, was there something on at Sywell?

    Re: Who would want a Hexus photographic meet?

    I really like the idea and would be up for taking part.... if it wasn't for the family and financial commitments I have these days.

    Good idea though

    I'm up for that as well. Taking a rest between jobs for the next month or two and looking to do a bit of work on my photography during that time. I'm way up North but don't mind travelling. Not a bad time of year for some Autumn type stuff - some great colours in the next month or so. Never really done any city type stuff either so up for that as well.

    Re: Who would want a Hexus photographic meet?

    Yes there was a huge small craft airshow on at Sywell the other weekend

    If its autumn colours you want take a look at Summer Leys here in Northampton
    http://www.wildlifebcnp.org/reserves...?reserveid=113

    It might be better to wait for spring/summer for this one TBH, loads of butterflies, dragons and damsels, plus all the bird life...
