I used to go out shooting with Steve, which was part of how this site came into being...
But then he upped sticks and moved to Germany....I think it was something I said...
Like CT says, we met up at Chester Zoo last year, and I've met up with IanC_UK, Matt, and a few others a couple of months ago at Donna Nook (organised through these forums). Occasionally go shooting with Jonny, but he has L glass so it's hard for me to resist the urge to mug him for it.
Personally I'm more of your social shooter, and prefer to go shooting with other photographers, which is why I like the meetup type events....good fun to chat with likeminded people.
