Does the idea of waking up on a Saturday morning, grabbing your camera gear and walking a trail in the Santa Monica Mountains with fellow photographers excite you? Do you get a thrill from exploring areas of Los Angeles through your camera’s viewfinder and the click of your shutter? Maybe you enjoy watching the sun set at the beach at a potluck, networking and mingling, before taking time to capture images of the sun streaking toward the horizon – the rays painting light on the crashing waves.

From the hidden gems of the Venice Canals, to the history of the Broadway District and the demanding, yet detailed beauty of Towsely Canyon, Los Angeles and her surrounding areas offer a plethora of sights, sounds and potential for the photographer. There is simply nothing like hiking in the great outdoors and urban exploration of Los Angeles. If you are an inspired photographer that enjoys the great outdoors and furthering your skills through hiking, networking, photo critiquing and urban exploration, The Great Outdoors Photography Group on Meetup.com may be for you.

So, get your camera and charge your batteries and we’ll see you out in the great outdoors!
