Yep, it was freezing

Thursday night several area photographers met up for what I hope becomes a regular gathering of photo geeks. The idea had been floating around over at Texas Photo Forum for awhile, but only last week did we have the people to actually make it happen. Seven of us met at Fox & Hound for food, drinks and photo talk. After dinner some of us decided to brave the cold and do some shooting.

One of the group members was able to get a friend of a friend to come out and be our subject for the last minute shoot. She was awesome and stuck it out though the 40 degree temperatures as we set everything up and started shooting. We were out there for almost two hours before calling it quits so we could get the feeling back in our hands and feet.

Only one of my images turned out well enough to post (critiques are encouraged), but it was a great learning experience. I’ve already made a mental checklist of things I need to do differently next time to get better results.

The best part is that it looks like we will be doing this type of thing on a regular basis. If you are in the B/CS area, check out Texas Photo Forum or the BCS Photographers Flickr group for more information on future meetups.
