Photographers from all over the Carolinas are invited to a photography weekend at the Garden, March 6th and 7th, 2010. Representatives from major camera manufacturing companies and camera stores will be present to demonstrate their newest cameras, lenses and photographic accessories.

Also present will be computer and photographic software manufacturers, including Apple computer, custom framers, and outdoor clothing firms. Want to go on a photo safari to Africa, photograph moose in Maine, bears in Alaska, elk in Yellowstone National Park, birds in Argentina, or polar bears in Canada? There will even be representatives from famous wildlife photographers from all over the United States to tell you about their available workshops and tours.

Members from the CPMG can find each other via our fluorescent lanyards. The only cost associated with this Meetup is the entrance fee to DSBG.

I am bringing my camera and letting my little girl use my G11. There is ALWAYS something to shoot! The orchids are back and they make great subjects.

Is this a shooting event or more of a tradeshow? Should I bring my gear? Is there anything to shoot this time of year?
