Last Sunday, Tally and I organised the first photostarters.com photography event. At first, it was meant as a nice day of photography with just the two of us, but already soon a lot of people were liking the idea of going somewhere together, making pictures, and swapping experiences for a day. At some time we would even have been with six people…but because of the unpredictable weather only the die-hards remained, and at the day itself we were going to the beautiful city of Maastricht with three people.  In the early afternoon, unfortunately we had to cope with real Dutch weather, a lot of rain, which had us taking shelter at a nearby café, which served all kinds of delicious coffee, I think a lot worse scenarios are possible . Informed by modern technique, we knew we had to stay inside for about an hour till the weather would clear, and finally we found ourselves in dry weather, that gradually improved during the day, and in the late afternoon the sun came out. Maastricht is a beautiful city and has loads of nice photogenic locations ranging from modern architecture, to historic buildings, to some nature here and there. So, we had plenty to choose from, but most of all it was a great day catching up with friends, snapping pictures, teaching, and learning from each other. Suffice it to say, I think this is an event worth repeating and I’m already looking forward to our next meeting, which we’ll have to plan soon! I’ll keep you posted, and should you be interested to participate in next events please let me know:). Oh, and for photographs you can visit the photostarters site!
