Please read the entire announcement before submitting your RSVP. Please only RSVP if you are 100% sure you can attend. If you RSVP, you agree to post photos you take at the event for use by the festival and its participants. You will not be paid, but you will receive photo credit. I will mail out a list of photos the festival is looking for a few days before the event.

We have a dozen free admission tickets for the first twelve PPS members who sign up! A $30 value! If you are not among the first twelve to sign up, you will need to purchase your tickets here:

What it is: Join us for a photo shoot at the Koronenburg Renaissance Festival in Corona. This event will provide you with hundreds if not thousands of photo-ops. This is a fun event, and this will be Celtic and Norse theme weekend.

If you are not one of the first dozen members to sign up, tickets are $30 for adults and $20 for seniors, active and retired military. Free tickets are for members only. You can bring guests, but they will need to purchase their own tickets. Carpooling is encouraged!

What we will do: We will meet at the entrance 15 minutes before to do the group photo, and introductions and to get in line just in case. I will give you your tickets at this time. You will have to pay for parking. Last time we attended, it was $5.00 per vehicle.

Once we enter you are free to photograph in small groups or on your own. The Festival hours will be 10 am to 6:00pm. While we will need to enter all together (we won't be able to accommodate late arrivals for the free tickets), you will be free to stay as long as you wish and leave on your own. There is food available at the Festival, but you can also leave and eat elsewhere and re-enter. Make sure you get your fin stamped.

What to bring: This the place for those[masked] or[masked] lenses if you don't want change lenses. If you want to concentrate on doing portraits a[masked] will work perfectly. Bring sun gear and dress comfortably, especially in the shoe department.

Any questions: Contact Walter via email or call[masked] if it's really important.

Here is a description of the event from the festival web site and a link:

"The Koroneburg Renaissance Festival is one of the only permanently built Renaissance faires in Southern California, and is the most interactive Renaissance experience around! We offer great audience-participation content, giving you plenty to do and opportunities to learn about ye ol' German[masked] A.D. history!

In-period games, feasts, and much more await you when you visit. Bring the family along!."

You may be blocked from attending specific events after one no-show, and you will be removed as a member if you accrue three no-shows.

Please join us at the Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch. This picturesque ranch is secluded in the heart of a magnificently landscaped 27-acre canyon. This historic park contains and protects romantic hand-crafted adobe buildings, antique windmills, a reflecting pool, beautiful plants, and flowers, as well as many historic structures for us to photograph. There are also many Peacocks on the premises.

We'll meet in the parking area near the entrance for an overview and our group photo. Please arrive by 9:15.

As usual, only RSVP YES if you are absolutely sure you can attend.

Let's meet at Del Mar North Beach (aka Dog Beach) to shoot the dogs and maybe the sunset if we are lucky, then we can cross the street and shoot the fair lights across the water. The sun will set at 7:53, though shooting it will be a gamble with the June Gloom.

There is parking along Camino Del Mar (the 101), but double-check the rules before leaving your car! Last time I was there it was Pay & Display parking on the southbound side of Camino Del Mar NORTH of the lagoon, and free street parking on both sides SOUTH of the lagoon. Side streets are an option too.

You will need a tripod, and I highly recommend a remote shutter release. Wide angle and medium zooms such as 12-24 or 24-70mm will work great, as will all-in-one zooms. A flashlight is a good idea too.

County fairs are a popular spot for street photographers. Let’s see what magic moments we can capture at the San Diego County Fair!

What it is: Join us for a fun day at the fair and feel free to bring family or friends! This event will provide you with hundreds of photo-ops. In between shooting, we can eat some food, check out exhibits, etc.

I highly recommend purchasing your admission ticket and parking ticket online in advance. Regular admission is $20/adult, $17/Youth & Senior. More information here: https://www.sdfair.com/p/tickets Albertsons and Vons has $3 off code: https://www.sdfair.com/p/plan-your-visit/tickets-deals/albertsons-vons

Parking and transportation: There is free parking and shuttle at Torrey Pines High school. $10 parking with shuttle at Horsepark. $15 regular parking if purchased in advance online. $20 regular parking at the gate. More information here: https://www.sdfair.com/p/plan-your-visit/parking-transportation

What we will do: We will meet at the entrance at 10:30am (right after you've entered the county fair) to do the group photo, and introductions. You are free to photograph in small groups or on your own. You are welcome to stay as long as you wish and leave on your own.

What to bring: bring your favorite gear! A fixed 28, 35 or 50mm lens, a medium zoom or long focal length zooms will all work well depending on what you like to shoot. Bring good walking shoes because we will be on our feet for a couple of hours. Sunscreen and a hat will come in handy also (or one can hope!).
