I was able to get out a bit on Saturday and go shoot. I actually organized a group of people from the PhotoMN forum to go out and shoot a few different places. Most of the guys that went along are car photographers, although I think that JP does a lot of wedding stuff, and Stephanie does a lot of nature stuff too.
It was a good time. Chad, Michael and Stephanie showed up at my place right before 2 p.m. JP and Matt called; they were riding together, and would be about 25 minutes late. We decided to just meet up at the first location, which happened to be the farthest out; Cascade Falls in Osceola, Wisconsin.
The falls are VERY accessible. You can actually walk right up to them, and if you wanted to, have the water pour on your head. You can also, to a point, walk behind them. We ended up staying there about an hour and a half, which was longer than I thought we would. Being that I am on borrowed time (wife is due with baby #2, and she's 38 weeks into it, with a 3 1/2 year old at home), I figured we better get a run out to the next location: the old bridge.
The old bridge is the oldest standing bridge in Minnesota. It's also on private property, but I've got to know the landowner quite well, and I can come and go as I please, and bring whomever I want to. It was a good time: I had remembered to pack my wading boots, so a few people switched in and out of them to walk in the creek and get some good angles.
Before I knew it, it was 5:30pm; time to head home and make sure everything was okay. Stephanie and Michael came with me: Chad, JP and Matt went to find a field they had passed on the way back to shoot it.
Overall, it went well. I think everyone was happy with the locations, and felt that they were good spots to find. I do wish that we had more time, as I wanted to check out a barn or two also, but we made good with the time we had.
