[glbeas]

Covered bridges-
Dead Link Removed

Closest thing I know nearby like Sloss is the Rail Museum. Lots of old ironwork.
Theres some interesting stuff at Stone Mountain too if you know where to look.

How about the dam on Vickery Creek in Roswell? Is it still there? It was in the wilderness when I lived there, so it's probably a scenic park now.

What film will you guys use? Do you shoot color or B&W?

Last I saw it wasn't exactly a park. It's being surrounded by houses. You need to park at the founders cemetery parking lot then walk down to it. The cemetary should be a good place for a little shooting too.

 

[rkmiec]

zing i shoot b+w and i thing gary does also,he may shoot color but i think mostly b,w.
gary i trust your judgement as far as were to go as you know i have only been in ga for a little over a year.

 

[glbeas]

If you want to go to the dam just let me know, it's just a few minutes from where I live. I'd love to find a place nearby with more possibilties though.

 

[rkmiec]

[stradibarrius]

When is the next get together?? I'm in Monroe, close to Athens, GA

 

[rkmiec]

Ok,i have been very uninterested in photography lately and i do not know why.I need a reason to go out and take some pics.If anybody is interested in a get together post or im me so we can get something going.Maybe in june.

 

[glbeas]

Got a suggestion for where to shoot? We just got back from Fort Pulaski, first time I've had my Ebony out all year. We need to find someting fun to do, seroiusness seems to make this too much like work.

 

[stradibarrius]

I would be interested too!

 

[rkmiec]

Fun would be awesome.I am in athens were are you guys at.I will triangulate our locations and see what i can find.Also how far of a drive are you willing to take?

What ideas do you have??

 

[stradibarrius]

I am in Monroe, just back up 78 a few miles toward the city. Fun is good fro me too. I just hope you folks will teach me something.

 

[glbeas]

Well the only sure fire thing I know would be the Railway museum. I've been there quite a few times and have always had fun shooting the old iron. Another place to look for on a similar vein would be a junkyard. If you know a junkyard owner that will let us shoot pictures in the yard during off times you can have quite a bit of fun with that. If you feel like a bit of travel the Air Museum in Warner Robins is a real treat. Some of the aircraft there require a really wide angle lens to get them all in one shot. If you prefer waterfalls a trip up to Raven Cliff would be good as well and a number of other waterfalls in the area.

 

[rkmiec]

Is the railway museum large format/tripod friendly.The rains lately would make for decent waterfall pis also.

 

[glbeas]

Yes it is. Theres indoor and outdoor exhibits. They don't mind tripods, you just need to use common courtesy around other visitors, naturally.
This one is 4x5 on tripod in a passenger car.
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

 

[rkmiec]

I think it would be fun, if you have been there a lot and do not want to go again that is ok we can go else were.They are not open sundays so what saturday in june would be good for you guys.Once we get a day established i will start a new thread just for that event so maybe others will see and atttend.

 

[glbeas]

For now any saturday barring a quick trip to Arkansas. Throw some dates out and see what we can do.

 

[stradibarrius]

I guess I could use my RB67 then...

 

[stradibarrius]

Tallulah Gorge is supposed to be really nice? I have never been there to shoot but have seen some nice shots.

 

[glbeas]

I hear it's nice too, but they limit the crowd on the trails so we would need to be there fairly early I guess. This would stand a call to the rangers there to find out the exact protocol. I could take you to some nice waterfalls that are much easier to get to than those.
