The Florida's Photo Fest is in St. Augustine, Florida. This will be my third time, and it is a fun festival. The registration fee (early bird special) is only $15. The regular price is $25. Then they have workshop events that cost around $100 and classroom training that costs around $25. So, you get to pick and choose what to learn and experience.

Perhaps the only time you will ever see someone riding a Big Wheel Bike.

This awesome event returns to downtown Frederick MD this July 10, 2027

I will be parking in the parking garage (Carroll Creek Parking Garage) next to the C. Burr Artz Public Library and walking to Brewer's Alley around 11:30 AM. That is where the start/finish line is located. It will get crowded and tough to find folks. I will have my red hat on.

There are two qualifying rounds starting at 12:15, and the big race takes place at 2:15 pm. The awards ceremony is at 3:00 pm.

This is a great event to practice your panning skills. The image above was taken at 1/15 of a second, but I would suggest you experiment with shutter speeds that are faster and slower and see what results you find most pleasing.

If it is a bright sunny day you might want to use a polarizer filter or a 3-stop ND filter just to be sure you can get your shutter speeds low enough for panning. The shot above was also taken at ISO100 and F20. I did not have much latitude to go with a slower shutter speed without the risk of overexposing.
