Hey everyone, what do you think about the idea of having an informal contest for the best photo taken at the Shoot For The Cure benefit? Not sure if I can find a corporate sponsor to donate a prize - but it would add a fun dimension as photographers showcase their favorite photo from the event.

That is a fantastic idea.....

Sounds like fun.

You got that right! Who can complain about a day with beautiful women, money going to a great cause, and the super bowl at night to top off the day.
The only thing that would make this day better is if you find some hot chick at a superbowl party and have your own overtime. lol

HI everyone!! lookin forward to such a wild day... how wonderfull to have a bunch of hot chicks runnin round all day tryna get your attention... woo hoo!

feel free to stop by and say hello if you would like to work with me, so i dont have to hunt u down ; ) its a big ranch, plenty of areas for photographers to get abducted!!

And because we have so many models attending, it's likely that we'll have groups of models ganging up on photographers to get their photos taken...

Hey dont tempt her because im sure she could pull it off.

Stacy Alberto wrote:
hmm. So what kind of lens[es] does one bring to this event? What should you keep on the camera? What's backup?

You should bring a 24-105 and a 70-210.
If you have something wider that would be cool too because of the landscape.

It's funny you say that, cause that's exactly what I brought to my last shoot at the ranch. Yeah, even though you'd think the 70-200 is the ideal lens for shooting portraits, I tended to use more of my 24-105, because there are some really cool backgrounds - like fences creating a interesting perspectives or building facades that look cool - not to mention an occasional horse here and there.

I don't make the list, but I'd say yes if I did.

And thanks to High Clarity for posting a gallery of images of the location. Very helpful

Bri,

We'd love to have you join us - I've sent you a message with all the details.

That's so wrong so mean to think of a place like that.....
Send me the address in PM so I can go to tell them how wrong it is. I may have to go a few time to make sure the ending  is happy and to make sure it as wrong as I think it is. lol

Photogs: We still have space available for this shoot - and we still have more models than photgraphers - which means 1) you will most likely guarantee one-on-one time with many models during the shoot, 2) you will certainly not be in a situation whereby there are swarms or 4, 6, 8 or more photographers crowding around a single model, and 3) you'll be able to direct models based on what you're looking to shoot - and not what the photographer next to you is looking to shoot.

We have an amazing line-up for models available. Pre-registration is $50 (100% tax deductible), but goes up to $70 on the day of the shoot.

Hope to see you there
Steve

Don't worry about having more models than photographers.  Unless you implement pre-registration cost for models, I can assume 30% of the models WILL FLAKE.  This is unavoidable.
