I highly recommend finding a fellow photographer friend to go out with! There are many benefits! One is safety. It’s always good to have a buddy along! Another, is sharing the best places in your area to go. Having a friend who is also totally into photography means you can take your time and no one gets bored! You can also learn from each other and share equipment. Also, going with someone is just plain fun!
I’m really thankful for these great communities of women! I look forward to meeting more of you in person!
