Hunt Club Photo Field Trip on Saturday, 31 July

Hunt Club Photo Field Trip

Hello everyone!  If you are planning on coming on the VBPC Photo Field Trip this Saturday, then this email will give you all the information you will need.  If you aren't coming, "Why Not???"  I have received MANY emails from members that are planning on attending.  I am expecting at least 20 or 30 members to show up.  You won't want to be the only one that doesn't go because it will surely be a lot of fun.  That being said, I will not be able to make it (my daughter's violin graduation was moved, and I can't miss that).  So Mark Huber (cell: 717-4120) and Joan Grippo will be leading the charge. And so far the weather looks like it will be perfect! http://www.wavy.com/subindex/weather

The cost is anywhere from free to $10.  The petting zoo is $3, but there are a lot of other places that you go on the farm for free.  There are a few other things that have costs associated (pony rides, hay rides, etc).

We are not bringing any models, but feel free to bring your own (children and grandchildren would be PERFECT).  You may bring your tripods and portable lights if you wish.  There are usually a lot of kids there, playing in the petting zoo and water sprinklers.  If you want to shoot any of them, do the right thing and ask their parents first, and offer them some of your images.  Generally parents are OK with that.

The Hunt Club has farm buildings, ponds, gardens, and lots of animals.  I think everyone will find something that interests them.

We will be meeting at 10:30 on Saturday morning (That's this Saturday, the 31st).  We will meet in the gravel parking lot in front of the Barn Office.

We are also planning a meetup at the IHOP at the intersection of General Booth Blvd and Dam Neck Rd after the field trip. This will give everyone a chance to chimp thier shots and show them off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimping and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBVCiqEHv7w
