Not sure MK fits the bill then: after the concrete cows and Buddhist Temple/Peace Pagoda at Willen Lake you're left with concrete and glass from what I remember :lol: tho' am happy to be put straight on that.

I've been living in Manchester for over 5 years and I still discover places that I haven't been or scenes worth capturing!

I'm always up for a trip within reasonable distance to meet fellow shooters :D

Im not a million miles away, tbh it depends on what you want to take photo's of ?
some dont want to shoot sport some dont want to shoot nature etc etc etc
but there are always things to keep you going

Have you tried the canal yet, Ed? That has to be worth some experimentation.

Another option is long exposure night shots with light trails - we've been discussing those in Talk About Photography. You will need a tripod.

There's some nice parkland around the city, which is always photogenic.


They're just three quick ideas from the top of my head.

Maybe an MK meet is on; I'd certainly come along and bring my kit if I was well enough on the day.

Has anyone got any thoughts on places to meet, eat/drink and shoot?

Hmmmm you have Whipsnade Zoo and Woburn for animals, Silverstone for Motorsport, a bit further away and later in the year, Shuttlworth Collection for vintage WW1 and 2 planes. Just a few of many ideas ! ;)
