Why not two photo shoot opportunities: Gary's water/paddle/shoot on Lowe's sometime during Aug 9-16, and a hike (maybe with overnight) to capture sunrises/sunsets etc. on/near a small mountain (I like pico's Ampersand Mt. idea) between now and August?

After that I have 1-2 free full weekends in early march. Once april comes around once again I have an open schedule.
If we can legally camp on the summit of ampersand (or noonmark or Hopkins) I'd be up for doing any of those in the winter. I figure the night stuff doesn't require standing over the camera so even bivy sacks and sleeping bags could be employed on a calm night (sort of essential) and probably wouldn't be technically considered camping, more like resting on the summit. Reflected light off the snow could make the landscapes stand out more. Although I still envision it in summer with the stars or moon reflecting off the water.
And the waterfalls at AMR are equally pretty in winter. But I've mostly only taken snaps of them to date while passing through.sigpic

However, April looks good for the 19-20 for overnight, and the 26-27 is at least good for a single day (i think I start shooting little league games the 22nd, which isn't an every weekend commitment but since it's the first weekend, probably one I should be at).sigpic

So pick a date or two that works for you, or go nuts trying to please everyone.

Like Kayakrski when the stone is rolling, outdoor stuff is pretty much my life. So there is no good or bad weekend with a very few exceptions.
I'd say the april dates sound good. My only concern is the conditions. April in the north country tends to be dull and bland, with mud and left over snow. Not too much green etc. Not saying you can't find good shooting options, but it's not the best time. But early may seems to see wildflowers and such in bloom down low.
So I'm definitely up for a single day of shooting in late april, I'm thinking the lower elevations should start showing wildflowers and getting slightly green. It's always confusing because I grew up in coastal southern NY where the trees and flowers were in full bloom by early mid or early May.
So definitely a single day hike April 26-27 (unless a date needs to be urgently set we can leave it at that weekend for now). I really need to see the schedule for the little league as I'm not sure if they play Sat and Sun, or just Saturday.
As far as anything over the winter, seems like most people are ready for spring. If anyone wants to do a winter sunrise hike, just let me know. I'd like to get at least 1 more in. I'm still waiting on my brother to get the dates of his engagment party setup in march. So I will definitely have 1 free day avail most likely a Saturday that would be ideal for a sunrise hike since we'd be done by 10am. The other two weekends I have free in March I'm planning on headed to NH.
So to summarize the dates:
single day hike April 26-27, probably southern daks or lower elevations anywhere.
And if anyone is interested in knocking off another sunrise hike on a Saturday TBD in march let me know. I expect to know a specific date by March 1st but I'm pretty sure it won't be the first weekend.sigpic

An April 26 or 27 dayhike works for me also. There is ALWAYS something good to photograph if you just look!
A sunrise mountain hike would work for me on March 22 or 23.BREATH OF FRESH AIR PHOTOGRAPHY Website

So it's April 26-27 for the day hike.
I think March 22nd could work for a Sunrise hike.
I can't commit just yet on the march date as I'm still waiting on my brother to put together his party. I'm going to put a bit of pressure on him to get it finalized so I can make my plans. But he did indicate it would be a Sunday in March so any saturday is probably OK.sigpic
