I've been reaching out to some of the fellow photographers in our local camera club; I'm so thankful that I started to do that this year. I've made a few pretty good friends, I've picked up tips, it's pushed me to help others as well as listen to the ones that know more than I do.
I also think it's built my confidence level up a bit, sometimes I still have doubt in my ind that i'm not good enough, don't know enough and that I shouldn't show people my photos. The photo above was from a few weeks ago when I met up with 2 ladies from the club. We had mostly been conversing on Facebook thru our camera club and I reached out and asked the two ladies if they wanted to meet up to photograph. It happened to be a very hot day that day; so we started off at the library where we worked on some LR5; then we ventured out and came across this pond area filled with these lilypads.
I walked away with a shot that has come out to be one of my favorites; but most important I walked away with 2 ladies that have come to be good friends. We're meeting up again next week and I can't wait to see where we go and what we photograph; I'll make sure and share a photo after the field trip.
So, reach out to your fellow photographers in the area; you'd be surprised what you learn!
