CURRENT PLANNED MEMBER OUTINGS  

Virtual Outing – Selfportrait

We have about a half-a-dozen Portraits. If you spent the time to do your self-portrait, send it to me.

The Zoo with Larry – January 21

Back by popular demand…

We have 6 signed-up, looking for four more. A day at the Zoo with Larry. We have had two previous outings at the zoo with Larry and the reports are OUTstanding. Larry is an excellent teacher and has the patience of a very long exposure time. He will explain how to get that great animal shot even, at a zoo.

The date is January 21st for the first 10 members of DPI-Sig who are also members of the Zoo. You must have an annual pass to go with Larry. So, sign-up early – You don’t want to miss this opportunity (again).

The first 10 (yes, only 10) to send me an email by January 19th, will be the ones to go.

Naples Daily News – January 19

11 so far! We can take a few more.

January 19 (Thursday) at 2pm we will meet at the Naples Daily News Building at 1100 Immokalee Road Naples, FL 34110. We will be conducted through the printing plant. On Thursday the 19th, we will be able to watch the printing presses run. I have heard that the tour of the printing plant is very interesting. Following the tour, we will visit the Photojournalism department. Several of the staff photographers will be available for a “show and tell” about their operation and answer questions and just talk “shop”. Please RSVP by January 17th to get on the list.

February Outing – February 11 5 so far, but it’s still early.

Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. I am working a ranger on photographic guided tour of the park. The park is quite extensive with a variety of photo opportunities. There is a swamp walk that they conduct but there is a chance that your camera may be eaten by an alligator – well, you might drop it. There are alligators but they’re not into photography. Lots of orchids, resident and migratory birds and an abundance of wildlife. There is an auto trail and miles of foot trails so after our guided tour, there are other things to see and do. More details will be available but keep the date cleared, February 11.

RSVP to dpi-outing@naples.net Please include your name, email and what outing you’re replying for.
