Photo shoot!!!!!

[Ian Maxwell]

I might be able to make it to the FT. Collins shoot if it's not on the weekend of the Scots Fest. I'll be there on the 11th and 12th.

Yea it looks like that won't be a good time as I also wanted to attend and I have a wedding to shoot on the 11th.  If anybody has a preference please post your ideas for a date and also a location.  Thought about downtown but Laney mentioned an old church nearby that would also work.

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

Couple of old churches. the one on Remington and I think Magnolia and then the other is the Catholic church with arches. Any other's you know of that look Medieval/Renaissance or places that work? Might I suggest we also make a stop IN garb at Coppersmiths or better yet New Belgium. new belgium has free samples and their beer is the best.

Sounds picture worthy  !!!

As for our photo shoot (s) I think there are three possibilities. 

1.  We try to stay within the Renaissance theme (period looking surroundings).  This is obviously going to be difficult as to the best of my knowledge Colorado's contribution to that was teepee's and buffalo  !  We can try to shoot at old, preferable stone buildings, and blur out the background as much as possible to take out the modern influence.  I think the more people we have at the shoot as "extra's" in the bg will also help with this.

2.  We head right into the middle of old town (or downtown Denver for the south shoot) and don't even hide the fact that all of you stand out like a sore thumb. 

3.  A nature setting (mountain park or something like that) where we can completely remove anything modern from the scene.

Personally, I like all three and I think we could do both 1 and 2 pretty easily in a single shoot.  That would be the way I would like to go with this - I really like the idea of showing off all of you in front of the masses in your great garb.  Shooting this in a crowded place would also make for some pretty good advertising for the faire me thinks. 

I am looking at my schedule to see what works best for me.  I will be very flexible on this as I do want to try to include as many as we possibly can!!!

As of right now the only thing for certain is the Fort Collins shoot will be on a weekend evening (the pictures will look best if we do this after six).  It will have to be after the weekend of the 11th.  I would like to do the Fort Collins shoot first so we can work things out with a smaller group before tackling what I hope is a very large group in Denver.

Please add to this and let me know how you all feel about the details for the shoot.  I will want to have this as planned out as possible before we take our first shot.

Thanks for all the response and support for this idea, we can really do something cool here!!!!

There is a plethora of churches in downtown Denver.

And depending on where you want to drive to - there are some castles in the area.

Have fun!

Sign me up! Though with school a Sunday shoot may be a lot easier for me.... I'll try to swing a Saturday all the same!

Though if we do it on the 11 (Did I see that somewhere?) I'll already have it off.....

Meh! Either way, yes. I'll be there for the Ft Collins if possible but I am sooo interested in the Denver one!

[Francisco Paula]

Oh wanted to make sure all the photogs remember that mikes camera is having a photo contest for faire. You have to be on facebook and upload it there. Me i am more interested in second and third place since first is a camera i more then likely won't use but second and third is money for there shop.

Also they are going to do there fall colors contest once again.

Hmm if i go to the highland festival i may take a drive through the national park at sometime to try and get some pics if others might be interested.

[Princess Alice]

Skip, are you coming to the festival this weekend?  If so, please come find me at the Enchanted Hat (it's the very first shop) so that we can meet.

Yes my wife and I will be there on Saturday so I will stop by - it's amazing how many people form these boards that I missed the first time.

Now are you coming to the photo shoot?

I really, really, really want to but I am leaving Tuesday after faire to go back to college in Miami.  But I thank you ahead of time for stopping by my shop :]

Great to hear, haven't set a date yet - am hoping to talk to some of you this Saturday to discuss this in person.  I am also waiting to hear about one more wedding we are supposed to be shooting in September.  I don't want to get this set up and find out that is when they are going to need us to shoot that. 

Would love to have you show up to both - heck anybody is more than welcome at either or both!!!!

Sir Garath, I don't have a Facebook account and after Laney said that about the copyright stuff I haven't even considered opening one.  I need to check that out and see what the details are but for now I am staying away.  I am not sure that my style of photography would do very good in a contest like that anyway.  Thanks for the heads up though, appreciate the info.

Well once again that just sucks  .  We will have to get some extra shots on Saturday to try and make up for that!!!
So are you from Florida or just attending school there? 

[Francisco Paula]

i don't worry about it since i'm not a professional photog. I do this cause its fun and relaxes me. If i did it for profit you wouldn't see my pics unless you was on certain sites for stock photography that you have to pay per pic to download.

got to remember any pic sent in for contests like these you are giving them rights to use them in any way they see fit.

[Princess Alice]

Skip, I'm local, I'm from Colorado Springs, but I go to school in Miami.  But yes lol I only work part time so I am at the Enchanted Hat from 10 until 1:30 and then 3:30 until 5.

In the interest of finding dates that work/don't work, the weekend of September 18-19 is the Santa Fe Faire (which you should all come to, btw) so quite a few of us, myself included, will be out of town.
