Yes
I love photographing night photography however being a young female I'm coutious of going into the middle of Manchester with a camera hanging round my neck on my own.

Is their anybody on here around the Manchester area that would be up for walking round Manchester/ media city one evening preferably a Monday or Tuesday night?
 
Yes...though meeting random not so young male via a bulletin board might be a bit odd?

For your own safety/peace of mind it might be better to post to the meets section and organise it as a slightly 'bigger' thing - safety in numbers. There have been a few meets around the docks area organised that way. Having said that, I don't find the docks area intimidating and there are plenty of people around until late evening.

This evening would have been good - clear moon and tasty clouds as I look over that way.
 
Yes completely understand that, I've joined a group online but their meet ups seem to be few and far between

I really wanted to go out tonight I just never feel save out with my camera in the dark
 
If you can get a few more people together, I'd quite like to join in with this. I'd need a little notice though so I can get the wife/kids sorted out. Good thing with autumn/winter coming up is that it goes darker earlier so I think we would be less likely to encounter undesirables. As morfis says, it's quite a popular area so there should be plenty of people about :)

I have just posted in the meetup section (didn't see that forum before) hopefully get a few together. Maby once I venture that way a little more I might feel more comfortable alone
 
Having been a resident in these parts for more years than I care to remember, I would suggest not to go out alone with your camera gear. That's not scaremongering, just common sense :)

I did question if I was being a wimp or sensible
 
Hi Jessica

I'm from Bury as well!!

There's a Facebook group called photography friends with quite a few people from this area that are members of. They do organise regular meet ups, the other week they did wire wool spinning at night in Queens Park heywood and lastnight a Halloween shoot at a church in Rochdale.

There's also another one called get out clause photography Manchester who also do meets at day and night.

Might be an idea to join something like this where there is a big group. The new Bury Light Night thing is also coming up in November split over 3 days this time and there is always quite a number of photographers at that event. It's probably the only time I feel safe at night carrying my camera around Bury!!!
 
Thanks for the offer Mr P unfortunately I'm working in the week so no good for me:(
