What we’re about
Welcome to the Pacific Photographic Society of San Diego. We are an active hands-on photography group for all levels of photographers and for photographic expertise from novice to expert.
Our emphasis is on photography in the field and in the studio, as well as photo finishing, education and networking.
We offer our members a wide range of photography related events including several monthly photo shoots at various locations, seminars, classes, educational shoots and networking opportunities with other photographers.
We welcome all photographers from beginner to professional and seek to provide an environment that is friendly, professional and enriching for all.
We actively seek the input of our members to ensure that the group provides the activities that are both beneficial and enjoyable to participating photographers.

See all- Fall Renaissance Faire in Escondido Photo ShootFelicita Park, Escondido, CA
It's Ren Faire time again! You can see from the images that were uploaded that there is a huge range of photo-ops at this event: Ren Faire 2016 Images (https://www.meetup.com/pacificphoto/photos/26936242/). We have been shooting this event twice a year since 2010 (missed Spring 2017 due to rain and 2020 and Spring 2021 due to COVID) and it always provides us with many photo-ops and a most enjoyable time as well. There will be many re-enactors in period costumes and much fun will be had by all. Even better is that it is Halloween!

What: We will meet at the entrance at 9:30AM, enter at 10:00 AM sharp and do the group photo. Be on time, we won't wait. As it will be difficult to stay together as a group. We can while waiting in line decide where to meet up again for lunch if that is what the group wants to do. We can either shoot in small groups to explore the Faire, or those who want to explore the Faire on their own can do so as well. There is much to do and see! This is a perfect venue for practicing your portrait photography as there will be many willing subjects!
When: Saturday, November 2m 2024 - 9:30 AM - The Faire closes at 6:00PM.
Cost: Adults: $27.00 - Seniors 62+: $20.00 BRING CASH!!! There is a $2.00 charge for using credit cards and it really slows down the line. (I often get the group in for free or get a discount as long as they go in as a group with me. Can't guarantee it, but I'll try)
Parking: $3.00 per car (This is the price in the past. It is not on their website this year)
Parking is a short distance away and the site has many picnic tables and shaded areas. The faire site is handicap accessible. It is level and mostly grass covered.
