Is anybody interested in having a Chicago GTG in the near future?
I will be leaving Chicago by the end of April and moving back to Europe. I would love to have a day shooting around Chicago before I leave.
At the Wisconsin GTG last fall a few people suggested doing this sometime in the spring. I know it's not exactly spring like just yet, but it's a lot warmer than it has been.
I'm in Detroit, but might be able to make it to Chicago for a day or 2 ... I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what the exact dates end up being ...
Looks like there's some interest. I have no strong preference for which weekend it is. We may make a family trip out of it and stay for a night. Anybody want to voice a strong preference for
Mar 31-Apr1 or
Apr 7-8
Saturday vs. Sunday? Daytime vs. evening?
My own bias is going to be for having some chances to shoot the skyline and lakeshore at night. Any Chicagoans please chime in with your favorite locations. I've shot from both Sears and JH, as well as from the Planetarium grounds. Always looking for other good locations.
Oh great - I'm so pleased to see so many folk interested.
Isn't the 8th Easter weekend? Maybe the weekend before would be better in case people have family commitments over the weekend.
All those locations make for great city shots. JH is always a good option, especially at dusk if the weather is good. You can also get some good views of the city from Navy Pier, although the Planetarium grounds are probably a bit better.
I'm in for whatever day the rest of you decide on, but i will need to know about 2 weeks in advance so i can call off work and get a sub (if it happens to fall on a Saturday).
Sorry - I got all caught up with my pending move (leaving the US on April 16th......) I forgot to come back and update the post.
I could do April 7th - the weather is so changeable right now, who only knows what it will be like on Saturday! Anyway, I'm still up for it if anybody else is interested.
