Introduction
I'm very passionate about photography, but would never do it for a living because it would take away my freedom to photograph what I want, when I want and how I want. My favourite aspect of photography is actually being out there and doing it.
Describe ideal Event types: days, times, length of Meetups, locations... please be specific. Thanks!
Ideally they would be on a Sunday morning and would include coffee and possibly lunch. I prefer to wander and shoot whatever strikes my fancy rather than trying a specific style, subject or genre. Downtown is always a good place to meet.
What is the make/model of your own favourite camera(s)?
Film: Olympus XA, Mamiya C220 TLR, Holga. Digital: Nikon D300, Canon A570
What type of photography do you enjoy most (nature, street-life, studio, landscape, etc)?
I guess I would describe what I take as urban landscape and detail. I enjoy street photography, cityscapes and landscapes. My favourite photographers are Eggleston, Martin Parr, Stephen Shore and Lee Friedlander to name a few.
What is the URL of your favourite photography-related web site?

A plea to post photos in your profile
"A number of people do link to their Flickr account so it's totally okay to do that. Other than posting in your profile or in the monthly/event photo folders I don't think there's any other way to store photos on the site...."

"Paul, I think we agree about HDR for the most part. It's interesting that one of the arguments for it is that it mimics the way humans actually see...."

"In some ways I can see benefits of HDR. It can be used to solve the problem of very wide light levels and when not too invasive it can add some extra life to certain images, if desired...."

"I wasn't able to find a C520 online. Do you mean the C5200 series? Usually colour nature or wildlife images look best on gloss or semi-gloss. My preference is semi-gloss since some glossy papers can produce too much glare...."
