If you are like I was when I first started in photography, you aren't sure where all of the perfect photo opp's are in your area. You want to meet like minded people to "talk shop". You may have a question or two that you need advice on. I am posting this thread to share a great site that can possibly help anyone interested in photography find more places and ways to shine whether a beginner or a pro. Go to meetup.com, find your city or town, and look up photography groups. I have belonged to one for 6 months now, and since then have found more locations to shoot than I know what to do with, and most of them are withing 20 minutes of my house. Just wanted to share this in case anyone else out there is looking for a great way to be inspired and meet other local photogs~ Marlene
