For the first year in King’s Faire history photoministry is getting a booth to take photos of kids in costume as they arrive at KF.

We are loosely calling it the “King’s Faire Red Carpet Experience”. We are going to need a lot of help with this and want to partition the time into shifts for as many of you who want to participate. Lorisha is heading this up and it should be a fun thing for the kids to do as they come in and show off their costumes. KF is from 4:45 to 9pm, we want to get at least one photographer for each hour shift. We need to know soon if any of you all can participate.

We plan on having assistants helping with line control and we will be printing these photos after ward. All those logistics we’ll be worked out later but we need a commitment from you, let us know if you can help.

Hey Everyone,
On Tuesday, October 13th we our planning our meeting around an outing to Freemont street. So everyone needs to bring their cameras and get ready to do some night shooting under the lights of old Vegas.

We need to know if you all want to take the church shuttle down or if we all want to drive individually. Let me know ahead of time if possible. You can email or leave a comment below. We normally meet at 7pm, but I think we should meet at the church around 6pm to get a head start down there. Should be a good time and we can get a lot of good experience down there. Hope everyone can make it.

Thanks,
Shad

Hey everyone, just wanted to post this photo from our last meeting with the water drops.

That was a fun experiment. Keep think of ideas we can try at our other meetings.

Thanks,
Shad

Hey everyone,
Just a reminder that our next meeting is Tuesday July 14th at 7pm in the communications offices. Bring flash lights, and anything colorful you can shine a light through.

Thanks,
Shad

Hey everyone,
I wanted to post a link to a site that has some decent fish eye lenses at very cheap prices. Of course they are not the quality of Canon or Nikon but do a pretty comparable job and are very fun.

They are Russian fish eyes and can be bought here at http://www.rugift.com/. We have one here that is 16mm, I would go for the 8mm personally. You have to adjust the apeture and focus on most of these manually, and they come with converter rings to fit what ever camera body you have (you just have to specify when ordering).

Check out there site, they have a small gallery on flickr if you want to see some of the other images they produce. Again, you will pay over a $1000 for Canon, Nikon, or even Sigma for a good fish eye. Rugift sells theirs anywhere from $200-$400. Fish eyes are not the first lens I use when reaching into the bag, but this is a good deal and worth the price if you just want to have fun with a fish eye.

Hope this helps you all.

Hey everyone,
We are going to do our Vegas Strip photo walk  on Sunday, June 28th at 7:30pm. The weekend before is Father’s day and the weekend after is July 4th weekend. So this seems to be the best. I’m going to try and book the church van, so I’ll need to have you all RSVP by June 24 in the comments. We’ll head down to the new strip, probably around Ceasar’s or Belagio.

Thanks,
Shad

Edit :: Looks like we are going to have to cancell the outing, we only have one person going. Sorry everyone.

Hey everyone,
Our next meeting will be on June 9th at 7pm in the Communications office. Bring your cameras. We might just do some more experimenting with lights and such.

We will also be planning our walk on the strip.

Comment below if you think you can make it.

Baby Dedications are coming up again and we need your help. They are on May 9/10 weekend, which is Mother’s day weekend. Bob Landrumb has already stepped up to take the 4pm service. We need help at the 6pm service, and the 9 and 11am services on Sunday. Email me if you can help at sfox@canyonridge.org.

If you haven’t served for this before, we take a photo of each family that is having a baby dedicated. They get the photo later along with a certificate and a book.

Hey everyone,
In preparation of  our trip to the strip I thought I’d pepper you all with some images I’m finding I thought were cool.
