Howdy,

I live in Chorlton (South Manchester) and was seeing if anyone other like-minded individuals are in or around the area and possibly do the photography thing?

If you're interested let me know.

Cheers,

Tez

That sounds a good idea never been to manchester.

I only live a few hours drive so traveling isn't a problem.

What date were you looking at to have a get together?

I'm only in Sheffield so its a short hop over the hill to Manc.
Hey - how do you fancy meeting up weekend of 27th, there's a 1940's event at the East Lancs Railway, its a fantastic day out and some really great photo oportunities.

Can't make the Saturday, but will be there on the Sunday without a doubt.

btw Ben, if you fancy saving fuel I can drive from M1 J31.

I might be interested, too - but I haven't had my vaccinations yet, and will need to make sure my passport is up to date ;¬P Need to check up on family commitments before I can confirm.

Well I can do any weekend days I think except for the coming Bank Holiday as I'm going camping, which is a fine way to get some pictures.

I'm quite suprised people responded so fast actually, I expected about 3 replies over 3 months! Anyways, I am free most weekends but do not drive so I'm limited to public transport if you guys wanna head out and about.

As for 1940s railway... not something I would have considered but you never know, could be a good laugh. I'll keep a look out for some other stuff that may be going on too because it is a city after all so there's gotta be something going down.

Hey I am very interested :( but right now I am away. Coming back to Manchester late July!!

I would like to meet any and all of you since none of my friends are into photography.

Sounds good Valdo, none of my friends are particularly into photography so i'd love to meet and learn a few new tricks. I checked out your portfolio and there's some nice stuff on there and you seem to be a Canon man like me... and everyone else on this thread :)

Well, you're only a 15 minute #101 bus ride away from me :) Overloaded with work/family/new home at the moment though. Could probably do some shooting in the near future sometime if you like?

Sounds very good!!! I lived in Manchester for a year and a half and never met a fellow DPCer, it would be great to meet some people later this year :)
