Cincinnati area get togethers?

Hi all,

The wife and I are moving from AZ to just North of the Cincinnati metro area. Is there an active group in the area?

Please let me know as I've sure enjoyed the POTN group here in Phoenix!

Thanks.

I don't know about a group but you do know it's cold up here don't you? We have about the same weather as Cincinnati and right now it's 50 degrees, raining a the weatherman says it feels like 40 degrees out.......
Good luck with the move.

Yes, I'm quite aware of the weather. It's much milder, warmer and less windy than where I'm from (the upper plains-think SW Minnesota/SE South Dakota/NW Iowa).

Looking forward to getting away from the heat of AZ.

Oh Yea, it's not near as cold as the Minnesota/South Dakota/Iowa area nor is it as hot as Arizona. My Sister lives outside of Benson Arizona so I know a little about the hot weather out there.
There's lots of good place around Dayton (my home town for 60yrs) and Cincinnati to take pictures.. I hope your move goes smooth and welcome back to the cold weather.

Cincinnati has a great photographic community. David Ziser, a top wedding shooter is based there. They have a pretty active strobist group as well.

Wow, great info Matt-Thanks! I'll definitely look into that. Very much looking forward to some new scenery to photograph and maybe try some architecture eventually-a lot of beautiful structures out that way! I'm open to learning more about all areas of photography (just been limited since going digital with only the one lens so far). Budget should be getting better soon .

Scott, I'm in the northern area of Cincinnati too. A bit further east of you in Mason. Let me know if you find someplace welcoming for a n00b like myself. And well, if there isn't a group around here, we could always make our own.

Hey guys,

I'm also in Cinci. Pretty close to pennypue in fact, near Indian Hill

Count me in for any meetups!!

I think we should try to plan something for either the Riverwalk down in Newport or perhaps the Krohn Conservatory. (That way we'd get to stay warm )

We could plan it, and if no one shows up but us, well, then good for us. Decision making becomes very easy. :P

Or, since we're both in the northeastern area, we could hit my favorite haunt, the Little Miami Bike Trail. There's some great views on the trail to shoot I'm just always riding past them!!

Hey pennypue and radlux!

Sorry, was out of town for Christmas (to the cold North!). I'm definitely interested in meeting for some photo-fun. Since I'm completely new to the area-I'm game for anything!

Give it a year or so and I'll bet you'll be ready for that phoenix heat again. Cincinnati's humidity is really something to get used to. I spent a summer working in St.George , UT and 110 deg there was no match for 90 deg here.
Other then that Cinci's a great town to live in. Welcome!

Cold of northern Ohio? I was just up in Strongsville yesterday and the weather was stunning. Kills me that I can get out and ride my bicycles. (Recovery from surgery and then visiting family!)

Columbus isn't too far away either.

Lots of great places to shoot in ohio!

Hi Mayerk,

No, the weather won't get to me . I'm fine up to 100F and very high humidity (Key West/Miami/Houston type). Thanks for the welcome! I'm feeling like I'm back home in the upper plains with the great people here which I sorely missed while living in AZ.

pennypue: I was back in extreme NW Iowa and SE South Dakota for Christmas. Hey, it was above zero which is more than can be asked for this time of year-and we were missing the high winds which are the norm . We drove in last night about 23:30 and it was still 63F here. Today is below average but still very nice to me.

Can't wait to do some exploring with the camera!

I'm from the Cincinnati area as well, I don't know of any particular groups - other than those related to trains - but I'm sure there are some out there.
