If you live in NYC, or will be visiting NYC, or have friends who lives in NYC . . . you and they don't want to miss the historic event that I am planning for 6.18.11. Okay, so it will not be that historic, but it will be BIG. Plus, it will be free. Mark your calendar. Bring your camera.
Don't B L7. Be there! And look for me in the white Smugmug, t-shirt.
Here is the info:
All you need to do is show up, shoot, pose and upload. We’ll meet in Duffy Square in Times Square for a group photo at 5 PM!
I’ll give some photo tips on site. I’ll also be posting some cityscape photo tips on my blog the week before.
I’ll have guest instructors. You’ll shoot in and around Times Square – until whenever. That night or the next day, you’ll upload your photos to a special Smugmug site – for the entire world to see.
To capture the idea of the "bigness" of the event, I used my Canon 15mm fish-eye lens on my Canon 5D Mark II.
Here's a tip that applies to the opening photo for this post: Always look up.

Hi Rick, this really sounds fun.
I only have and hour or so break at work but would still like to join you all. Really looking forward to it.
Rick,
Earlier in the day is the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island, always a great experience with many photo ops. The set up is the best part and it starts about noon and builds until the parade starts at 2pm.
That would be a hell of a photo day, Times Sq and Coney!

I'm in, cant wait for the weekend
Hi Rick,
I'm so looking forward to this event. Do you have any insight on Tripods in NYC? Can we use them?
Thanks and see you on saturday!
HI Gerry
I am not sure about a tripod. I am not toting one! Best, Rick
I will also be there and looking forward to meeting everyone.
Gerry, I don't know about a tripod, but I will be bringing a Gorillapod, small, easy to carry.
