Talk about what to shoot in Michigan

There's been a lot of talking about what to shoot in Michigan in the How many from Michigan? thread & it's become way OT. So I'm moving some of the posts here to clean that thread up a bit & in the hopes that you guys can eventually come up with something to actually go out & do.

Go ahead & organize among yourselves here.

If you want to organize something statewide, start a thread with a descriptive title, with the details. Add a link to it in How many from Michigan?, as a heads up. PM me & I'll give you a list of all the MI members & you can PM them & notify them of the thread.
How hard can it be?

I understand that, I was just going about reading the rest of the thread. Seemed funny that it was like that with my other Michigan car club. I'd love to get together and shoot as of right now my D40 with kit lenses and the time of year (gets dark early) they aren't good since I have the worst aperture ever. Anyway, I need to take pictures of something today I think.

I was thinking yesterday that i might take a ride up around St. Clair to take some landscape shots or old barn pics in the fresh snow.
Do you know any areas where there are some cool looking old barns?

There are cool barns all over the place. Any road you go down there is cool shots. Already have a few. Check em out. I was thinking of going out today also and getting some pictures. I'm doing some black and whites for a picture collection we have on the wall downstairs.
This first picture needs a crop, I'm aware

Kind of funny when the snow and cold comes how this MI. thread falls pages back

The only place you would find me today is the flower house on Belle Isle or the butterfly house at the zoo.

Me too, unless it stops blowing. I shot this from a bedroom.

I didn't even want to look out the window
Mike

sort of off topic here sorry

anyone know of a good place where eagles, hawks, owls etc hang out? other than the zoo lol

I can find small birds like herons, ducks, cardinals, blue jays etc... pretty easy in my yard

No idea, sorry
