LA/OC Flickr Meetup
Went to my first Flickr Meetup at the Long Beach Aquarium and I gotta say it was quite fun. It was cool meeting people really into photography and it was fascinating to hear them talk "shop". I did learn a few things which was something I wanted to do when attending a meetup. And of course it was fun meeting new people.
As far as picture taking, it was quite limited because of the lighting conditions at the aquarium. I took close to 200 pics... but I only uploaded 20 or so... but I guess that's how things work. I didn't really coome away with that "one" pic... the one you can really be proud of. I've usually had at least one of those everytime I've gone somewhere to shoot... but I guess that happens sometimes and its something I have to get used to.
I think I might need to start shooting in RAW format. I've just heard too many good things about it to keep shooting in jpeg. I'd need a new memory card though. Finally saw a lensbaby... weird little sucker.
I'm looking forward to the next meetup, hopefully the lighting will be better or I'll at least have my SB-600 flash and a 50 mm f1.8 lens by then.
