I was just reading about the Corn Mazes and Cemetery tours on a couple of threads here on CPF and they sound like good times and also a great way to use, and show-off, one's lights. It also occurred to me that Autumn is a great time of year for us Flashoholics to really shine (Hehe 
:devil since daylight hours are much shorter now.
Seriously though, besides my night-time mountain- and road-biking, last week's Nuit Blanche event (ie. all-night art's fest) as well as the occasional meet-up with fellow CPF'ers, or even wandering around my home, I'm really hard-pressed to find ways to use many of my 20+ lights. And, sadly, my job doesn't require that I use lights.
So, I started to do some research to try and find some Flashoholic-friendly events... I initially signed-up for a "Ghost Tour" of a local jail that's been closed in my city; the tours were scheduled for the summer and was to take place after sunset so that any participants would have been required to bring along flashlights... Sadly, a city agency shut down the tour after only 2 weeks saying they never provided approval to run those types of tours. :thumbsdow
I did end up taking a tour of the jail during the daytime and my HDS U60 did come in handy when I took a shot of a friend in one of the jail cells. Not quite the same as touring a jail in the dark with just flashlights...
Then, I found this Ghost Tour of the Buffalo Central Terminal taking place on October 30th... Just out of curiosity, have any Buffalo, New York CPF'ers, been to the Ghost Tour at the Central Terminal? The building is huge and looks fantastic so I figure this would be an amazing tour and a great chance to show off some lights.
So, CPF'ers, besides those who need to use lights in their everyday jobs, anyone else have any Flashoholic-friendly events they are participating in or know of? I'm looking for some cool ideas and I'm also curious to see how imaginative us CPF'ers can be with using our lights...
