Lots to do:
The concept for the day is to enjoy not only the natural
beauty of the Photo Park ,
but also the many and varied shooting opportunities provided by the lovely Kingston Peninsula itself. We encourage all participants
to select from the information below the subjects which interest them, and
enjoy 1 or both of the AM and Afternoon shoots; either alone or in the company
of others.
Maps will be available ($1.99) as well as individuals with
extensive local knowledge to ensure that you have adequate
directions and advice to make the most of the time we spend there.
The lack of defined structure for the day allows you to
select what interests you and yet still have the opportunity to meet and
hopefully enjoy the company of not only our members, but those from the other
clubs as well.
