This is the first time in many years that we propose a field trip a bit farther away from home than usual.
Hunting Island, South Carolina, is a beautiful island in a chain of islands east of the city of Beaufort. It has wild beaches with lots of driftwood, a modern light house, Shrimp boats that come and go, swamp board walks, and of course the historic town of Beaufort to the west. Beaufort alone can keep a photographer busy for many hours if not days, just shooting the historic homes and gardens.
Take a look at the slide show on our web site, assembled by Don and me, and you get an idea of what to expect. Of course we cannot guaranty a spectacular sunset like that, but chances are good that we have sunny days with some clouds and perhaps a dramatic thunderstorm in the evening. What we can guaranty is a good time while we are doing what we like best, PHOTOGRAPHY. Tentatively we plan to be on a shooting location early each morning, then have lunch at the hotel with some discussions and showing of images taken that day. In the late afternoon we venture out again to a different shooting location.
This field trip will need some planning and I need your input to get a feeling of how many photographers would be interested in participating.
The date of the field trip is the weekend of November 1st 2014 The way I would like to do it, is that we start this field trip around October 29th for club members that can get away during the week and let the “working people” that only have certain days available, join us at any time thereafter.
Take a few days thinking about it, but I need an e-mail from the members that are seriously considering participating by July 12th. You may also ask questions in that e-mail.
Details will be discussed after that date.
