The Art Of Photography International

As always, you're cordially invited to join our group on a "hands-on" opportunity to create great photo images in this interesting and diverse area of Miami. Calle Ocho -in Little Havana, is an fantastic location for "Street Photography" with very unusual and challenging photo opportunities. Come ready to "create magic moments" with... strong wall murals backgrounds, interesting characters, art galleries, cigar rolling factories, dancers / musicians, and unusual local scenery. If you so desire, you can stay after our photoshoot to enjoy a typical (and inexpensive) great meal from the many restaurants in the area.

The workshop leader / instructor (Rafael) taught photography classes and has personally led many field photoshoots for over 15 years and will be available all along this shoot for specific tips, technical consultation, and photography info to capture better images and make this a memorable learning experience PLUS a vast historic knowledge of the area - This workshop is a “One-of-a-Kind” technically supported photoshoot with attention to practical learning (and some local history) for which there is a $10 fee.

-PARTICIPANTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING THEMSELVES AND OTHER GROUP MEMBERS AGAINST POSSIBLE VIRUS CONTAMINATION AND IT IS IMPLICITLY AFFIRMED (IN THIS AND ALL OUR MEETUP OUTINGS) THAT EACH ATTENDING PARTICIPANT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS/HER OWN ACTIONS, PROTECTION, AND SAFEKEEPING-

UPDATE ...
IT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD MORNING FOR OUR PHOTOSHOOT… Partly “sunny” with temperatures in the high 70s with low chances of rain, windy and mid humidity around 62%.

WE’LL MEET ON THE SOUTH SIDEWALK OF SW 8 STREET NEXT AT DOMINO PARK (1444 SW 8 Street, Miami 33135) AT 10:00 AM to go over the photoshoot route, collect the $10 MeetUp fee, provide technical information (camera settings, etc.), what to expect for scenery, and talk about the best photo opps in the area. Remember we’ll walk together, and I’ll be available along the way to provide ideas, technical solutions, and some local history.

Don’t forget… charge your battery, clean the camera / lens, check the memory card. I recommend packing light so you’re comfortable and can move around easily. Bring water if you’ll like (to keep hydrated) but there are many cafeterias and restaurants all along our route, where you could have a good lunch or snacks afterwards. Incidentally, tripods are not advisable due to being an impediment to foot traffic.

COME READY FOR LOTS OF FUN AND PHOTOS… SEE YOU!
