The KCC field trip for the month of October will be a people shoot on Lincoln Road, Miami Beach on Halloween evening, Thursday, October 31st. We will meet in front of the H & M clothing store, 551 Lincoln Road, at 6 PM. We will be shooting mostly adults that come decked out in their Halloween attire. Some people also bring their dressed-up pets. If you want to shoot a child in their costume, first get permission from their parent.
So you should travel light by bringing one camera with one zoom lens that will be able to shoot full body shots as well as upper body or headshots. You will also need a flash, either a pop up on your camera or an auxiliary flash that attaches to the camera hot shoe. It will be too dark after the sun goes down to shoot with only ambient light. Don’t bring tripods or backpacks. We will break up in small groups of 2 or 3 people each and stroll up and down Lincoln Road pedestrian thorofare or just stay in one spot and let the revelers walk past us. The official field trip will last until 9 PM but this event goes on until at least midnight.
Parking is always a challenge on Miami Beach, but it is recommended that you park in the city parking garage which has its main entrance on 17th Street across from City Hall. There is also metered parking on the nearby streets, but usually hard to find. Stay away from the privately-owned parking lots which charge a lot and sometimes tow away illegal parkers. They look like official city lots, but they are not. If you are coming with other KCC members or friends, carpool and save a lot on parking fees. There are plenty of casual restaurants along Lincoln Road if you get hungry or thirsty.
Make sure you sign up on the KCC website if you will be participating in the field trip.
