Please RSVP to: fieldtrips@
Mark your Calendars OCCers!
We are going to try something new and exciting for our October field trip! We will have between 3-5 ballerinas modeling for us during an outdoor shoot! We will meet at 8:30AM in CYPRESS GROVE PARK off Holden Ave., about 4 miles south of downtown. Follow the main drive to the back of the park to the last parking area, there is a pretty little gazebo not far from the lake, there is also a dock, and a little white bridge that could be used as well, and, of course, a beautiful grove of Cypress trees.
WHERE: Cypres Grove Park, 290 Holden Avenue, Orlando 32839
DATE & TIME: Sunday, October 25, 2026 @ 8:30 AM
WHO: Lauren Chin (Wei Chin’s beautiful daughter) is working with me on this project. She and a few friends, also ballerinas, will be modeling for us. It is my hope that this will be a unique and fun experience for dancers and photographers alike!
GEAR: Short zoom, a Nifty-Fifty is always a good lens for portraits and bokeh, and a tripod.
BREAKFAST: Peach Valley Café: 2849 S. Orange Ave., Suite 310, Orlando, 32806
Please RSVP to: fieldtrips@orlandocameraclub.
I hope you will join me for this fun outing!!
