Hi Floridian POTNers, I'll be looking for some shooting in and around downtown Orlando sometime over the 19th to 22nd dec. Just wondering if any of you locals would care to join me and show me the sights...in any case me and the wife will be wandering around. Since you've been looking for an excuse to meet up, perhaps we might even schedule a POTN gathering around the occasion, who knows?

Feel free to PM me to exchange cell numbers

That's a pity...aren't there other Orlandoians (Orlandites?)

Or at least recommend where you would go to capture a sense of the city

Well, the skyline in Orlando sucks / isn't really a skyline. The best place to capture it is by Lake Eola (the big lake downtown), or on a large parking garage such as the Florida Hosptial garage.

Are those the only dates available? I might be able to do it on the 19th or 20th depending on time arriving and where you're staying while you're here.

Hi, my name is Bonny and I'm directly behind the Magic Kingdom on Reams Road. The majority of my photography get's done there. I just got my first DSLR (S2 IS) and am so excited. My husband works dor Disney. My daughter MJ is almost 6, adopted at birth and is medically fragile and developmentally delayed (you can read about her in the link in my signature if you like) I was diagnosed with arthritis, sjogren's syndrome and fibromyalgia when she was 8.5 months old. She and I both have some limited mobility and use wheelchairs for any real distance. I would be excited to meet others, I don't know a lot of ppl here in FL (been here, orlando, less than a year and in FL less than 3)

I am brand new to photography. I had a small sony cybershot and out of the blue someone sent me this beautiful S2 IS. I took about 400 pics this weekend and am eagrly reading boards and waiting for books from the library to learn more.

Okay, enough jabbering from me.....

Located in MetroWest area of Orlando. I am an amatuer and would love to meet others with the same interests and hopefully pick up some pointers.

Would be a pleasure to meet others and swap stories too. Let us know if you come up with a meeting place for the 19th........................

Depending on the timing I may have my daughter with me, is that ok?
