MidWestern/St Louis Pentaxians

cali92rs · 01-30-2013, 02:52 PM

Hola...
In a few weeks I will be moving to St Louis for a job opportunity. I have never lived outside of SoCal, so I am quite nervous about the whole thing :/
(I may have to change my handle from Cali92rs to Mizzou92rs).
Any tips? Good photo ops?

Hi
Come see us in Cape Girardeau. We will be convening a PUG meeting soon. We are tentatively scheduling a Pentax day for May 18. We should have a factory rep with many products on hand.

Missed this post before you moved. I hope you enjoyed our first really warm day. What a long winter we've had.

I once tried to make a list, but some people use their city, some use their state, some use midwest and of course some are private-minded. There is a (defunct) St. Louis Users Group with about 30 names, most of whom seem not to come here any more.

Several here in Cape and growing. We have converted some Canon and Sony users. Three of whom are professional shooters. The factory rep will be bringing "new" gear and a variety of other equipment.

I'm in Kansas City, and I know there are several more. Maybe a Missouri meetup is in order?

Hi all. I'm working on a location workshop in Maine the week of October 12. Let me know if any of you are interested. We'll be working on landscapes with an emphasis on low light. I will have a 12 bedroom cottage for housing, one of the original cottages before the fire in Acadia Park. t's locate just outside Bar Harbor.
