Always a favorite field trip, we're once again able to shoot the dress rehearsal of the Peru Amateur Circus.

The driving time from Carmel is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.  Peru is on US 24 north of Kokomo. With the construction on US 31 you should find alternate routes.

Our trip to the Peru Amateur Circus has been one of the favorite trips for several years.  Many of the images have been seen in the monthly competitions.

The circus consists of approximately 250 young people ages 7 to 21 from Miami County performing a multitude of circus acts. Flying and multiple trapeze, roman rings, high wire, trampoline, aerial ballet, unicycle, juggling and of course, clowns.  You will be amazed at the talent of these young performers.

We have been given access to shoot from the balcony and to go behind the scenes prior to the show to observe the performers getting into costume. Friday night is family night and is a prep for the opening performance on Saturday.

EQUIPMENT:  This is a low light auditorium so you will need a large f stop, f4.5, f2.8, f1.4  to capture the action.
