January 25

136 Photographers!
Sherman Worley and I organized a night shoot in Balboa Park yesterday evening and 136 photographers showed up for this photo shoot. More came later.
They are all members of the San Diego and Northern San Diego Photography Meetup Groups, and among them were at least a dozen PBasers.
Our largest turnout to a photo shoot ever. Here Sherman gives tips on night shooting. We broke up into groups afterwards, three Nikon and three Canon and shoot away into the night for hours.
Despite the large turn out the photo shoot was a great success. I got only a few shots because I spent most of my time helping fellow members with their camera settings and pointing out places to shoot.
You can see some of the images from the event here: January Photo Shoot: Night Shoot at Balboa Park

In fact, there were more than 136 in attendance. Several
showed up late and we ran into them in the park or at
the tail end of the event.
I'd say the total was close to 150 in all.
At some point I'll catch up (hopefully) and get some images
posted from this super-event.

Great shot! I feel like such an isolationist after seeing this. I often think that one of my reasons (only one though!) is the fact that I can get away by myself .... lol!
