Sandy and her family, Rhonda and Chane went to the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo Park, NY on Sunday, September 29. A few others planning to attend encountered last minute conflicts. We spent the day photographing a variety of performers, capturing the excitement of a jousting tournament, and interacting with many cast members and attendees in costumes. Everyone we approached kindly agreed to let us take their photos, making it a fantastic opportunity to practice portrait and action photography in a lively, themed setting. You’ll probably see a few of our photos in future competitions.
We used the Flagpole private Meetup Forum at https://flagpolephotographers.com/meetup/meetups/ and the Flagpole Group page on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/177952625554933/. Our Meetup Forum is for fellow club members impromptu photo outings! Announce your plans for locations (tulip farms, zoos, fairs …) in the forum. Carpool, share tips, and build your photo portfolio together. The Flagpole Meetups pages are only visible to signed in members, thus no outsiders know the people, places and dates. To automatically receive email updates for all new meetups, simply click “Subscribe for new topics” at the top of the forum page. Also, look for the link in our Members menu for Members -> Meetup Forum.
