It would be nice if I little notice would go up when these saturday trips are planned, or even a phone call. I have only seen one and that was the trip to PA. Where have the other 4-5 been?

I made one of these, but NYC is a little hard to get "around" when you consider time, traffic and distance. I agree advance notice would certainly make planning to attend easier, but I also understand the "spur of the moment" may make for quick plans. Hope to see some more posts about possible days out.

we shoot almost every sat!
it is a bit frustrating as i post this stuff and NO ONE responds and shows up. i gave a almost a weeks notice about the last ST Pa. trip. not one single answer here or apug.
i am not going this sat. but i think one guy is going to shoot in wiliamsburg this sat. maybe more. if you all want to go post here and plan to shoot in wiliamsburg.

1. NJ water front. (i even shot wet plate)
2. brooklyn.
3. ulster county.
4. steam town pa 1
5. steam town pa. 2
6. ulster county.
7. conn.
i go most every sat. email me if you have time on sat and i will tell you my plan
i will be in the Daks this fall for the fall colors. probably the whole week end.
based out of LP area or keene. i will camp. anywhere from 3-4 weeks from NOW!
i am not one of those people that plan too far ahead. IMO too much planning and a rigid itinerary ruins the fun of i all. i tease my german friends ads they have their trips planned top the min, the train, the hotel, and the exact tripod hole locations.
i am more seat of the pants. when i travel overseas i just show up. no hotel, no transportation tickets nothing. just the seat of my pants. more fun for me. others do not like such spontaneity.
wanna go? more notice this time but no specifics.
one last idea! why not plan to shoot on sat. tell US where you plan to go and we will come. use as much notice as you need. if we can not make it go shoot anyway!

as eddie said, a small group typically tries to shoot every weekend if weather permits. not much planning goes into this. many times we decide on friday night where to go on saturday. we met at the first group outing in central park that was set up by alec (2 years ago?).
i set up a couple of group outings in the past but have shied away from doing more because i can only go on saturdays and this seems to be too restrictive when trying to get a group together because many can only go on sundays. it is also difficult for me to commit to a date too far in advance.
as i said, most get togethers involve very little planning. a couple of weeks ago, eddie called on friday and said he saw an interesting ad in craigslist for a wooden box camera contraption that was located in brooklyn. eddie picked me up and we shot in brooklyn on saturday after seeing the wooden box. this works for us because none of us need much of a reason to go out and shoot.
i have shot at the following places in nyc recently but i want to go back so maybe you guys want to meet at one of these locations:
williamsburg, brooklyn: i want to take my big camera to shoot the wiliamsburg bridge bridge and some of the local architecture (russian church, sugar factory, views of manhattan, etc.).
staten island: i want to go back to historic richmond town. i would also recommend the fort at the verrazanno bridge.
i also want to go to the the high line and the wall street area.
if the weather improves, i will be in williamsburg tomorrow.

i haven't been starting that early as of late. the weatherman is also calling for rain in the morning. i never believe the weatherman, but he was right today. if the weather is ok, i would be there around 10am. i would probably start near the williamsburg bridge. if you want to meet up, drop me a pm.

Eddie, that's funny, I'll be in the Daks too this fall for fall colors. Then bare trees, the first fall of snow, and that cold, harsh blowing wind on the frozen lakes. Want to hook up while you're here (I'm kind of spontaneous myself :D )
I'm just a stone's throw from Keene, halfway between Tupper and Saranac.

Daks is short for Adirondacks, upstate NY. Me, I'm about 125 miles NW of Albany, halfway between Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake, right smack at the top of Upper Saranac lake.

Just inquiring if anyone had anything in mind.
I'm just a rookie here, but I'd like to tag along with some of you "old timers" to pick up some tips on L/F stuff.
what are you proposing? when and where?
rookies can choose too! maybe a fresh mind/eye/idea is needed.

Some time down the road I would be pleased to join the group for a Saturday or two in and around NYC. I was there two weeks ago in Central Park but the park was still so dingy from the winter. Not much good for photos so I spent most of my time scouting. And last Saturday I parked in Weehawkin and rode my bicycle for miles up and down the waterfront for more scouting. I found several spots for future trips but again the weather and lighting were poor. Alas yesterday with knee surgery it will probably be summer before I'm ready to go back though. Bob G.

This link should bring you to the info. If not then it is in the GROUP SECTION of this web site under wet plate collodium.
It is for all shooters not just wet plate. It will be a great time with a lot of nice people.
Hello,
I a newbie, is there a NYC group?
I would like to meet up with other L/F. I just got my first Linhof Technika.

Hi Sherie! Congrats on an awesome camera! There's no club per se, but there is a growing list of people that get together for various outings in the city with LF cameras. Frankly, there's enough enthusiasts in this area that a "club" of some sort might be a good idea so long as it's open and due-less.
A while back, I started a mailing list for people to announce outings (aka "I'm going here on Saturday at 11am, does anyone want to come?"). You can sign up for it here:
http://alec.com/mailman/listinfo/northeastlf_alec.com
As I get back into things, I hope to be posting a lot on this list and thus encourage others to do so as well. In the meantime, I've been weeding out the spam mail, so the likelihood of it causing an annoyance is low. Be sure to keep up on this forum (Groups and Meetings) as people post things here too.
Look forward to meeting you in the field!
Cheers!

Thank You! Alec!
I joined up! You should have my email, I check in and keep me posted!
Best,
S

I'm new to LF as well. I see that the last post to this thread was back in May, but would be interested if there are still people who meet up to shoot...

you never received n e mail as no one has posted a get together. post one and you will get an e mail....and a group will form to shoot at your suggested local....try it and see!
several of us get together most every sat. and shoot. i have been posting this for some time now. i invite many people. no one/very few people show. i get tired of posting, and having no one participate. we shoot no matter what.
that being said. i am planning to shoot in the kingtson NY area this sunday. 8/29/10. so far it is just me and one other....but i still need to ask my regular sat. crew! i have a wedding on sat. so i can not do it then.
SO! lets see who comes!
anytime is fine with me. very early (sun rise) or anytime after that is fine. probably figure 10am so the "city folks" can get here. i am available earlier for those that like to shoot in the good light.
