Toronto Photography Meetup Group

Details:

What: Fall Colours Drive
When: Sun. Oct 11, 2009
Time: 12PM
Where: initial meetup point at Tim Hortons, 100 Fifth Avenue, Orangeville (closest Timmies to Kelsey's, Montana's, etc.)
Bring: camera, comfortable walking shoes

So here is the plan so far:

Meet at Tim Hortons in Orangeville and head north toward Kimberley, Ontario. This would take us past a few interesting spots along the way: a couple of lookout spots near Mono Cliffs, the windmill farms north of Shelburne, two waterfalls near Flesherton (Hoggs Falls and Eugenia Falls) and then head north to Old Baldy Lookout. We were there two years ago and took some <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sue70/sets/72157602310103252/">interesting shots</a>. We can head to either Owen Sound or back to Orangeville for some dinner depending on timing and where we are.

It's a rough plan at this point since we don't know what the colours will be like on that weekend, or if the weather will cooperate. There is a plan B for spots further south in the works if the colours have already come and gone at that more northern location....

Feel free to make car pooling plans through this thread.

Thanks for posting this Sue! Have fun ya'll .... I'll be way up north, and on this day driving from Killarney to Haliburton.

I came to Canada on Oct 13th and I landed right in Orangeville. We have a beautiful Fall in Poland but I was really taken by what I saw in Orangeville back in October of 1991 on the First St. Mature trees around old homes. Perfect setting for a photo session. I think you want to go at least one week later, though. Keep us updated on the progress of this trip. If I don't have my boy over, I'd be game for this one.

oh, I would love to do this, but unfortunately I'll be back in Ottawa that weekend.

I believe that I can make it but will need a ride. Lunch will be on me.

would love a ride as well, long distance driving is my kyptonite. but if there are shortage of seats i will be able to take one person along with me.

I need a ride, very much interested in this, but have to double check my schedule. Please let me know if you can give me a ride

Since I'm coming from Brampton, I can really only offer to rides to people in Brampton. Hopefully there will be other who sign up who are able to offer rides from Toronto.

As for going one week later, for me it's a no-can-do. I'll be in Buffalo for Doors Open Niagara the following weekend....

Doors open Niagara sounds like open entry to Casino's and Hotels

Might go. But can't commit yet. If going, can offer rides from Fairview Mall.

I can take up to three people. I came from East end.

Would be great trip. I can't confirm yet but will do it as soon as I'm clear about my time schedule.

That's Thanksgiving weekend right? I probably can't make it because there's some family coming down from Northern ON... can't exactly be grabbing my camera and taking off for the day

Have a great time, looking forward to seeing the photos!

Yes, that is Thanksgiving weekend. I realize that some people may not be available to go then, but that's when I'm free to go. If others want to set up an Ad-Hoc event for another date, feel free!

sorry I'll be out of the country...

I'm thinking of doing an ad-hoc on another day for those that can't make this one... unfortunately I'm out of town all Thanksgiving Weekend, and I'm out doing another fall colours trip on Sunday.

I'm interested and would need a ride, but before I confirm I'll have to check if I'm free.

OH.............. I have to stay at home for the Thanksgiving day Hey Lubin~! I'm still waiting for the pictures you have taken me at the last time~!!

Yeah Lubin, I'm waiting for mine too .

I could offer a ride from downtown west (Queen & Spadina area) in my humble Honda Civic Hatchback.

Or if someone is driving from downtown and has nicer wheels I could take a ride and would gladly contribute for gas.

Hello,

This will be my first TPMG event. I live right by Hwy 400 and Finch Ave. I can take 3 people in my car if they meet me at Tim Hortons at the Jane and Finch Mall

PS It is not dangerous during the day, a little scary at night though, if you're walking alone :S

I so wish I could but I'll be working that day. bummer...

Would really like to come, but have a Thanksgiving dinner.

Hi Everyone,

I am new, I have been wanting to join you guys, but the last couple of months my schedule just never jived with any of the planned events I wanted to attend. I should introduce myself, my name is Jordan and look forward to seeing you all there.

Cheers

Hi All,

Like the poster above me, I'm new as well. I've been wanting to come out with the group for awhile but just haven't been able to make the scheduled events. Since my Thanksgiving plans seem to have now changed, looks like I can make it.

I'm in Thornhill and will be driving. I may be able to take 2 others.

Jordan, your name looks familiar. Do you have a brother by the name of Ryan by any chance?

HAHA,

Hi Daniel, yes its me - Beamer's Uncle!! - if you like I could come and pick you up and we can head over together.

Jordan

Hey Jordan, sounds good!

I am heading out from downtown core and can offer ride to 3.

Eddie

Id be interested in taking up that offer if its still available? .. theres also a beautiful waterfall located in Orangeville called Cannings Falls ... Its a tough trail down but definatly worth it .. Just north of Hwy 9 on hwy 10

How tough is tough? Since I'd like to hit a few different places along the way, I'd rather not spend too much time hiking to any one place. I'd also rather keep the route easy to walk since I know some of the people going on this trip would have difficulty with tougher trails.
