Gypsy Dancer Photo Shoot
On Sunday January 11th @ 2pm South Florida Camera Club will be having a fieldtrip to Long Key Nature Center and Natural Area in Davie, Florida to do a photoshoot with a group of Gypsy Dancers.
Many of you that have been to the Florida Renaissance Festival over the years have no doubt seen these dancers perform. Lots of gypsy dancers will be coming to our photoshoot, and all of them will be dressed in their gypsy best. We will be photographing them in this park to eliminate city life objects and people that would get in the way of making this shoot look as authentic as possible. This photo shoot fieldtrip is for current SFCC members only. If you wish to be a part of this event please join our club now.
The dancers are doing this shoot for TFP (Trade for Pictures). Everyone taking photographs at this event will be asked to give copies of their photos to the dancers.
