Photography for fun! Interested?

[Highlander]

I have been having problems adding photographs on and off recently.

A few of us from "Photography for Fun" are going to be meeting up at the main stage in Fethiye Public Square, 7pm for the first night of the World Music Festival, part of the International Arts and Culture  Festival.

You are welcome to join us.

Unlike the UK where you cannot get near the stage if its anything like last year there will be plenty of scope to position yourself where ever you want in order to capture some great photos of the performers.

If you have anything planned for the first half of June my OH would love to join you. I'm not a photographer but I'll happily come along for the après !

Nichola this is a great addition to the forum. So many people would love to be better at photography or simply share technical knowledge and to introduce it as a part of being on holiday in a beautiful place is simply a terrific idea. I'm sure it's gonna really take off. 

PS (also for interested locals)

More details about our Photography for Fun Outing this week.

Wednesday May 7th

4pm FESTIVAL PARADE will start at Tuesday Market, pass through Gaffar Okan Str., Atatürk Str., Çarşı Str., Hükümet Str. and will end in Beşkaza Square.

The awards ceremony for dance and best costumes starts at 5.30pm and the opening ceremony at 6pm - all in the public square. Hopefully this will be a great opportunity to take photos of children in national costume.

7pm CELEBRATION OF 81th ANNIVERSARY OF FETHIYESPOR CLUB will be held at Beşkaza square. Turkish local musicians Adem Kazan, Ahmet Eraslan, F-Dance Group will take scene along with musicians from Kazakistan, Kenya, Iran and USA.

I'll definitely be in the square in the evening near the action - I imagine that it will be organised chaos in the Fethiye market area as they organise the parade so see you there if I see you!

Hi Nichola. I'm interested, I live in Calis but have no transport. Willing to do dolmus though

Hi again Nichola - I was just going to enquire if you were going to be too busy to do any more of your photography events and see that you have suggested something. Couldn't make this or any you ran last year, but would be really interested if we can make any this year.  Realistically May 18-26th or June 5th-10th are our best dates.
Many thanks....

Susiepink if you email or pm me you email address I will add you to my mailing list and Wendy I will update this topic anyway when we next do something and bear your dates in mind. I already have your email address so I can always email you at the time too.

To be honest things slipped a bit last year and its just too hot to do anything in the height of the summer so that's several months ruled out. Also I am so used to living here now it is sometimes hard to see the potential for a topic of interest. Ideas from others are always welcome and events are usually a good opportunity for an outing.

I'll try to make more of an effort this year though

Brilliant, Nichola - thanks a lot!

John & I would like to join the group too Nichola if it falls on days were free.
