I'm looking forward to it.

Unless someone can think of somepalce better to meet Lookout Joe's is Ok. There isn't much around there to shoot, but it's a good place to sit and talk and the coffee is pretty good to. The address is 3181 Linwood Avenue, Cincinnati Oh 45208. Here is a link to Yahoo Maps and you can get the directions from there. That will be much better than me trying to explain go to this light and turn left then anothe light and turn right ect., since I've lived here almost my whole life and can't remember the street names. I just know where to go and when to turn.

Jeff, since your coming from the farthest away I don' t want you to have to get up and leave before the crack of dawn so given the drive time what would be a good time for you. The rest of us can be anywhere in the city in around 30 minutes or so depending on the traffic.

Here is a liknk to a search I ran on CityBeat magazine's website for things going on between the 20th and 22nd on January.

Here is a link to the Cincinnati park's website, and here is one for Hamilton County parks website. You can look throught those and see if thee's anything there that interest anyone. Then there's also all the stuff I haven't thought of so feel free to toss idea's out there.

Alright, how about 10:00am as a meeting time? My brother will be coming with me and he works nights so he gets home at about 6:30. I can get him and leave by 8:00 and be there by 10:00. I may bring someone else as well, although he hasn't commited yet.

The coffee place sounds like a good meeting location. The map and address provided is good enough for me.

We'll bring our cameras and be ready to shoot. We'll just follow your lead on what to do next.

Pyromaniac, I'll PM you with my cell phone number. Keep it handy in case you want to change plans. Thanks for hosting this meet. I will try to host one in Louisville, probably in April during the Derby festivities.

[Pyromaniac]

Sounds like a plan to me. I'm looking forward to it, it should be fun so long as the weather doesn't get to bad on us.

10am on the 21rst. Check.

I suggest we meet at a park instead of a coffee shop though if we're meeting to take pictures. Unless it's raining outside of course. I am really wanting to check out Devou park and maybe make some panorama's of the cincy skyline.

[Pyromaniac]

Devou Park works for me. I just thru the coffee shop out there since no one else had made any suggestions, and it does give us a place to go if the weather is bad. If no one objects, we'll use Devou Park as our fair weather meeting location and the coffee shop as our foul weather location. I want these to be group decisions, I don't want people to think that it's my way or the highway.

[trippinbillies40]

Good. Cause it's my way or the highway!

(j/k of course)

I think I'm going to cheat and go scout out Devou and some places in Covington tomorrow since I'm off work all day. If anyone is up for an impromptu get together, send me a PM. I won't have anything important to do all day.

[jeffherald]

Any location is fine with me. Just let us all know where, specifically. I don't know where the park is you mentioned but I can find out. Just post a landmark to meet at.

[queenbee288]

I would be interested in the Louiville meet when you plan that one.

[jeffherald]

Queenbee: I am planning to host a meet in Louisville on April 29th. That is the middle weekend of Derby festivities. The city should look nice and there will be a lot going on but it won't be as crowded as the weekend before or after. More to come one this meet... I will post an announcment in March sometime.

i am up for any meets (I have no life LOL) Anyway, i do think we should meet somewhere indoors just in case someone runs late or the weather is not very cooperative. You never know with traffic or weather in this area. But i am cool with any decision.

It doesn't matter to me where we meet, so I will leave it up to you guys to decide, and we'll go with whatever the general consensus is.

[trippinbillies40]

Sounds like for now we can go with 10am, Jan 21, at Devou Park in Covington, unless the weather is bad, in which case the party is moved to Lookout Joe's coffee.

[jeffherald]

Sounds good. I'll see you all there.

[Pyromaniac]

Since it's been a week since anyone responded I thought I would give this a bump. Hopefully we will have some good weather to shoot in. I went up to Devou Park last weekend for a bit and tried to get some shots that would stitch together to make a nice pano didn't work out to well though. Clouds gave me inconsistent lighting and didn't get the camera quite level for a couple of them.

[graykita]

Well hopefully we will have a day like what we are expecting tomorrow. I really want to try to get a pano too especially have not played with that at all. I can't wait for the meet looking forward to meeting everyone
