I would not go so far as to say the skyline in Orlando sucks. It is not NYC or Seattle or SF - but with a little motivation - there can be some decent images - IMHO. Art - and others - are you still planning a meet for around the 20th?? I will check back now that I know it might be a plan. If you are staying in Maitland - there is a place called Crane's Roost Park - you can googlemap or PM me for directions - that might be nice. Some Christmas decorations - wildlife - decent sunrise. Not sure what you like to shoot - I like sunrise/nature/wildlife/opportunity shooting - still a rookie!! Anyway - let me know about the 20th -- sounds like fun!!

Looking good so far, it's:
1. Matt
2. MommytoMJ
3. NetDep
4. Arthur (me) and Vera (other half)

Anyone else in? Where's a good place to meet, i.e. can park our cars for free?

arthurgoh · 13th of December 2006 (Wed)

netdep, i like the bird shots on your gallery!

Perhaps you can suggest a photogenic meeting spot where we can take pictures while waiting for whoever will show up to show up?

NetDep · 17th of December 2006 (Sun)

@art...
Thanks for the kind words!! Most of the birds - other than the eagles from Alaska - were taken at Lake Adair, Concord Lake or Dudley Park - both lakes are within a block of one another and the Park is the park around Concord. From Maitland - would be easy to take Forest City Road (434) to Edgewater and go south til just past the College Park area -- the lakes/park are obvious -- and quite nice and safe (minimal street encounters) -- also a nice Starbuck's on the way on Edgewater Drive. Early in the morning - I would suggest the Starbuck's on Edgewater Drive. Not sure if I can make it - was not paying attention that it was a weekday - but will if I can get coverage. Please keep me advised on progress. Lots of birds - great sunrises - and a nice walk - look for sunrise about 0645 to be there for good light - Starbuck's opens at 0600. Thanks!!

Thanks for the suggestions Netdep! I'll definitely want to check out the Edgewater area you mentioned.

We'll be out and about on the 20th, my cell is 857-544-2858 for those who want to meet up someplace, or feel free to text me more suggestions for photo-spots in Orlando!

I'm moving to Orlando Saturday.

Trisha0624 · 1st of January 2007 (Mon)

Anyone going to the photographers seminar that will be in Orlando on Feb 5th?

Trisha0624 · 2nd of January 2007 (Tue)

The seminar in Orlando is on Feb 5th, which is on a Monday. Here is the link for those that are interested.

RadAL · 2nd of January 2007 (Tue)

probably not. But i will be near or around orlando on the 3rd of february for a car show.

NetDep · 2nd of January 2007 (Tue)

Trisha - thanks for posting the link. Are you attending? Seems to be geared for the pro but might be interesting for anyone that ever has hopes of getting into the "game."

Hi All, it's been a long time since I've posted here.

Like NetDep, I also live in Clermont. Bird photography is my favorite with Macro a close second. With all the surrounding lakes I get plenty of shots. One of my favorite photography spots in Central Florida is Harry P. Lue Gardens (http://www.leugardens.org/). They have an incredible variety of plants and flowers and the scenery is beautiful. Another place I like to visit is Lake Morton in Lakeland. Depending on the time of the year you will find egrets, herons, numerous varieties of ducks, geese,swans, and an occasional roseate spoonbill.

This is a great thread - hope to meet some of you one day!
