Quote: I like going out with others but then I seem to spend more time talking than I do taking photos
I've got that t-shirt too 
loner or one like-minded companion
tend to be pretty quick at getting what I want and with companions I end up waiting around for ages.... on many occasions, I've finished before others have taken a shot
Quote: Loner - preferably.
Me too mike.
I concentrate better on my own.
I'm not into Epz meets where we all compare gear to see who's got the biggest lens. Not really interested.
I prefer to go it alone and have an image as a result as opposed to a matching Anorak!
rarely take photos on EPZ meets....
only glass I have is beer-filled!
I like to be on my own, I don't know why but i feel very self conscious when taking photographs at the moment.tomorrow i will be off to the local nature reserve and i'm looking forward to be sat in a hide for a few hours on my own.i love the solitude and have the patience of a saint.
Loner, because I like to wander around looking for different viewpoints etc... and feel guilty holding everyone up..but an EPZ meet is usually different..this behaviour is accepted, you usually catch up later and it's good to exchange ideas/learn/have a laugh with others..!
Loner - I love long walks in rough terrain and exploring somewhere new without mindless chatter.
But am also rather gregarious so love getting involved in activities, but when it come the the actual taking the photo - i'd much rather walk away from the group and get my own different perspective.
A bit Dr Jekyll, but mostly Hyde.
When I go out to photograph at weekends and it's a good walk, I always have my trusty sidekick and wingman with me...............my 15 year old son! He carries my tripod bag!
mostly but not always alone; I enjoy the company of my partner Jill:

Occasionally it is fun to get together with like minded people from my club at Amersham.

I have posted this photo before. I think it could be entitled "Combat Photography".
For me, the huge benefit of club expeditions is the amazing amount you can learn from other, more knowledgeable, photographers - not just in terms of basic knowledge but also ideas and the sparking-off of creativity. Plus, of course, the craic and banter. Sociable club photographers tend to have an amazing sense of humour.
But there are times when I do enjoy a more leisurely approach on my own or with just one or two friends.
In terms of time spent out with a camera, then probably 90% alone and 10% in company but, in terms of sheer fun, probably the inverse proportions.
