Florida Renaissance Festival
On Sunday, March 2nd at 9:30am South Florida Camera Club will be attending the 16th annual Florida Renaissance Festival at Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach, Florida. This event is perfect for making candid photographs of people dressed in renaissance era costumes. Browse through an enchanted crafts village where over one hundred merchants and artisans demonstrate and sell their wares. Behold glass blowing, hammered pewter, wooden toys, unique pottery, clothing and a wealth of other riches. Click your shutters at battling knights, as they mount their steeds, lower their visors, aim their lances and charge at full tilt. Photograph hundreds of performers, not only on our twelve stages, but literally all around you are sword fighters, minstrels, magicians, mud-beggars, wenches and more. If you’ll be attending this event you can contact Joe Paul at 954-536-0567. Joe will be leading up this trip and will be the person to contact if you can’t find our group.

The second Friday of every month is “Gallery Night” at UNCOMMON Gallery in Fort Lauderdale. Meet other artists and enjoy their work in this unique atmosphere. Also enjoy sandwiches, cheese, wine and deserts throughout the evening. This is a great opportunity for South Florida Camera Club members to get together and socialize.

Henri Cartier Bresson once said, “In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject” This month is an exploration of perspective. Perfect for macro photographers, or a creative way to change our ideas about what small really is.
