Your camera kit.
at least a 70 to 200mm lens, a 300mm is recommend.
a mono pod would be very helpful too. This will be an all day event. As a group there will be a mandatory track safety meeting at 9:00.
We will then get to meet the track professional photographer to get hints and tips on shooting such a fast sport.
Once meetings are is completed we are on our own to photograph the bikes. Being that I only have 12 open space, if you bring a guest your guest must pay the $30.00 fee to enter the track.

About Nick:
Nick Colleluori (“Head”) graduated from Ridley High School in June 2004 as a three-sport athlete and joined the Hofstra Pride Lacrosse team the next fall. With hard work and determination, Nick earned a role on the Hofstra team the spring of his freshman year. Nick was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in September, which started a brutal fourteen month battle with cancer. Although Nick battled with all his will and might, he lost his battle to cancer on November 28th, 2006. During his illness, Nick not only battled cancer physically, but also mentally. Nick reached out to others with the same illness and counseled them to help them have the same positive outlook that Nick always possessed. In Nick’s own way, he also counseled his family, friends and teammates to help the through this extremely difficult time. He was truly an inspiration to all who knew him. It was Nick’s idea to begin the HEADstrong Foundation, to help those who have been diagnosed with blood cancers, as well as put an end to this horrible disease. To learn more about Nick and the HEADstrong Foundation Mission, please visit www.HEADstrongfoundation.org.
About the Tournament:
To honor Nick and those affected by blood cancer, each year the HEADstrong Foundation hosts this lacrosse tournament with the hope of building a team of champions to combat blood cancer. All proceeds will go towards blood cancer research. Each participating team will sell t-shirts on their campus to raise funds and awareness of this disease.
Division 1 teams will play 2 regulation games and Division III teams will play 2 one-hour games.

On Sept 21, 08, I have been asked to officially photograph a motorcycle event and ride for a children's charity. (see link)
http://www.rideforkid... The ride starts at the King of Prussia Mall, travels through Valley Forge park, and ends at Longwood Gardens. I am doing this on a volunteer basis. However, I am looking for as many other volunteer photographer to help me capture the event as possible. As member sign up I will be contacting them to let them know where I will need them alone the ride route to cover the entire event.
We will be mostly shooting as photo journalists and doing some groups and candid photos. There will be sick children and their families at the event, and we may be asked to do simple family photos. There will be all walks of life at this event, from doctors and lawyers on bikes to some "real" bikers, but all are very NICE people!
So if you are not comfortable around motorcycles, the noise, and cool things, thank you anyway. At the end of the day, we will be downloading all of the images to the organizer's laptop. However, we can keep our images too. Food and drinks will be provided for you. Please let me know ASAP, so I can tell the organizer how many of us will be showing up. Last year the event was over around 2:00. Thank you

The weather for August 22 look really bad. I am changing the date of this meet up to September 13th with a rain date being October 11.
After speaking to a number of greatly experienced photographers I have decided to relocate this meet up. Rickets Glenn water fall are not flowing heavy enough to accomplish what I will be teaching and trying to cover in the meet up. Not to mention that the 2 1/2 to 3 hours is a very long drive for a one day event. Bushkill Falls can be reached in 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. I will be holding a weekend long trip to Rickets Glenn in the future. Please let me know if sign up for the meet up and do not want to attend Bushkill Falls and I will refund your money.
This meet up is for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors and loves great locations for landscape photography.
During this meet up I will be covering the following topics:
The uses of Neutral Density filters and graduated filters and how they work and what to use them for.
Controlling the shutter speed of your camera to get the desired results you are looking for in your landscape images.
The importance of selecting the correct ISO for landscapes images
Designing a good looking landscape images using proven composition tools and skills.
The bracketing of your images for later uses with HDR software The RECOMMENDED equipment for this meet up: but not required!
Your camera kit
Tripod (Strongly recommended)
Neutral Density filter, 2, 4, 8 (Strongly recommended, the cokin filter system or the lee filter system work great)
Large capacity memory card
Extra camera batteries
Both wide angle and telephoto lenses Very comfortable hiking clothing and hiking shoes
Some type insect repellent
A very large and full water bottle
MONEY to pay for you entrance into the park
I am starting this meet up at 10:00 due to the location being about 1 1/2 hours from Delaware County and Philadelphia. If members are running late I will wait a 1/2 hour for them to arrive. After the 1/2 hour the members who are late will need to catch up to the group on the hiking trail. Rain date October 11, 2009

Date changed due to bad weather. I am now going the 16th. New rain date is the 23rd
The good news is I'll should have my kilt and Irish out back! See you all then! This is a change for our group to think "Outside the Box"
I would like the group to look past all the dressing up and costumes and look for more abstract images.
For example:
At the glass blowers location, use macro lens to capture all the colors and patterns in the finished pieces.
At the many craft location look for the detail the make the pieces look as good as the do. The Fair has it's own Photo contest, you can see the rules in the link below. It would be very cool if on of our group won the contest.
Link:
PA Ren. Fair, Photo Contest How to get there:
Getting to an event at Mount Hope is easy! We're located 15 miles north of Lancaster and 14 miles east of Hershey on the spectacular gardens of the Victorian Mount Hope Estate & Winery, Route 72, at the traffic signal just 1⁄4 mile south of the Pennsylvania Turnpike - Exit 266 (formerly Exit 20). This will be a teaching meet up for me. So this will be a great time to ask me question and to help you with you photography. My teaching fee is $20.00, and you will need to purchase a ticket to enter the grounds. Parking is free. If you want to bring a guest, and that guest is not going to be taking photographs please bring them but do not register them in our group. RAIN DATE August 23rd
