Field Trip: Burning Steel Wool: CHANGE OF DATE

  • Falls Park 299 Falls Park Drive Pendleton, IN, 46064 United States (map)

DUE TO WEATHER CONCERNS, THIS EVENT IS BEING MOVED TO 4/1/2023

MEMBERS ONLY

Note: THIS IS AN EVENING SHOOT; check club Facebook and Group IO email for any weather related updates.

Meet at the front of the park by the pond with the lighthouse. We will begin our evening shooting in this area and at the waterfall. We will then drive a little further into the park and do some shots of burning steel wool. This will include a four-minute walk on a trail so bring a flashlight (not just your phone) as it will be dark as we walk out. We will then drive to a second location for more burning wool. Program has been approved by appropriate officials but please follow any on-site instructions for everyone's safety.

Gear: camera, wide angle lens (24-70 will work), and remote shutter. Shutter speed will be bulb mode, F16-22, ISO 100. (If you use a 2 sec timer you will miss part of the action as the wool only burns for 15 sec, so remote is recommended) Focus point will be the person spinning the wool; they will be momentarily lit so we can set focus.

WHILE YOU ARE HERE, GO AHEAD AND DOWNLOAD OUR WAIVER OF LIABILITY FORM (REQUIRED FOR ALL FIELD TRIPS).
