Photo SteemitMeetup with @yumyumseth - Early morning photo adventure in Phoenix
See what antics a founder of @photofeed and a founder of @photogames get into...
Hint... we took pictures and ate breakfast in Phoenix/Scottsdale arizona!
But i was told by @derekkind that #steemitmeetup is a thing... so I figured I needed to get a couple good shots for a post. The above one is a huge panorama. (kind of my thing)
What were we photographing??
Well we ended up on a little peak in Papago park with 360 degree views.
I think this was probably my favorite direction... it also had the best clouds.
Keep an eye on a post by @yumyumseth because he got there at the correct time so he had some long exposure cloud stuff and i was late so i didn't get any of the night stuff
Here's an even better image but as a 100mp panorama it's harder to appreciate when you only see 800px
Which reminds me all pictures are clickable to see a very large version.
Doesn't look like a sketchy climb but it is to the top of that boulder on the left... and that extra 70-100ish feet really did make an impact on what we got to see!
we almost forgot the group picture but I got the 14mm and did a selfy.
I tried out a few portrait shots with the 14mm
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 14mm and 135mm
The 135 1.8 sigma is where my heart is.
Also who knew that @yumyumseth was such a ripped jeans flannel wearing hipster! Good on ya! Style isn't so much my thing so i'm sure he didn't get that many good shots of this ugly mug.
Photograph from the same spot with the 14mm sigma.
THE VIEW
Let's see what the view looked like from 4 directions

P.s. Neither of us are from Arizona we were just visiting at the same time.
PHOTO MEETUPS??
Any interest in more meetups? Perhaps some bigger ones with several more steemit photographers?? There is discussion brewing...
Looks like a blast, especially with you wacky willies. I'm surprised there wasn't a founders fight between you two.
And yes to more meetups. I wanna join in the funz
He tried to push me off a rock, but I survived.
What, did he rock and you roll? ;)
LOL!!! Outsiders won't understand.
The first #steemeetup! (at least the first with people I know). More to come, I'm sure.
Looks like you guys had fun and got some great images! But sorry, @jarvie, @yumyumseth wins the beard contest.
Wahoo! This is a dream come true!
Don't get cocky though, I've seen better from Jarvie - he might surprise you next time.
Haha! Noted. I look forward to it :)
Sweet pictures dude! It was great hanging out, thanks for suggesting the spot! Ended up taking some people there again later in the day haha. Looking forward to getting home and editing some pictures myself! :)
And how was it? Later that day I did a pretty cool hike pretty much in the rain
A lot more windy, but still awesome! It was terrifying to stand up on the rocks we were talking on that morning, it felt like we were going to get blown off! Nice! Where did you go?
Great spot for a photoshoot!
yes it was!
Wow, sounds like a fun time! Love all these photographs, each one a piece of art !! love the fluffy clouds, the beauty of clouds is forever!
We were blessed with some nice clouds that day.
Hahaha awesome, you guys look like you had dun, got some great shots too! Wish we were in the US for meetups too!
Sure did! You guys should totally come over and hang out!
Well you never know!
I hear its a great place to visit!!
Where in the US are you, we go to Portland for a conference every now and again!
Utah. It's a pretty decent place ;)
Ok not a million miles from Oregon then!
Oh wow, I wish I where In the US, looks like you guys had a blast and took some pretty awesome photos in the way. Hey if any of you come to Venezuela let me know, we can do a #meetup here hahaha.
Ummm you are the the first Venezuelan I have known to encourage someone to go to Venezuela in the last couple years. Haha
Well, it's dangerous as hell. But If you know how to do things right, you won't regret it. My sons dad is from hungary and he comes to visit his son every 3 to 4 months. He is inlove with the beaches. And the angel falls is a dream. You just have to know how, when and where to go, and have friends.... So... I'm a friend, you can count on me.
We have a hard situation going on over here, you certainly can't walk around with the camera or probably speak english and have a turist face. But... hey, if you really feel like coming, anytime, let me know and I would be really excited to help you guys out and show you around. As long as you don't show off all your gear and try to blend in, there is no problem, and this is if you want to walk around the center of caracas. As for beaches, there are some safe ones. And the angel falls still has it's tourist.
well i speak spanish... so i guess that helps.
BUT... i do love my camera!
I was so close years ago when I visited Colombia... and then last year I was just off the coast at those islands like curacao.
happy meetup! :)
I love your shots that use 135mm. I also like 135 mm, I use it with XT10, I love it.
135mm is a wonderful focal length
Yes! I love it. Is there any suggestion from you about 35mm f/2? I want to have it.
awesome ! i indeed am up for photo meetups :)
Awesome! Where do you live now?
i am from Europe, but i plan to go to Iceland when i save up enough :D We should totally have meetup in Iceland !
