Hi Guys,

How do you find out what is going on in your area? Or in any topic in general?

I wouldn't mind finding some events and getting out there with my equipment to shoot them?

Thanks.
 
MMM now there's an odd telephone mast going up, a few pubs but doesn't tell you much about whats going on thats worth photographing.
 
Local papers are a bit useless as they tend to tell you about an event after its happened..

I have built up a list of websites for all organisations in my local area and check them regularly. Local community messageboards as well...I also mark down stuff that has happened (reported in papers ect) for next yr as they usually put things on about the same time each yr

Takes time to build up the information but worth it in the end.
 
This one's better (if it's Manchester you're interested in) ;)

This should provide you with some starting points. Obviously, it casts a very wide net since you've been specific about which type of events you're interested in. Other possible resources might include Flickr groups targeted at the local areas or topics you're interested in.

For example, if I'm interested in events going on in Liverpool then the Liverpool themed Flickr groups should be filled with local togs whom I could enquire with.

Have you tried local press websites? They're likely to host "what's on" listings for local events.

Google Alerts are also handing for keeping an eye on specific events/areas.
