WELCOME FALL!  It's that time of the year for shooting fall foliage.  Hopefully it will be a beautiful evening with some color change starting at beautiful Holliday park. It is a shoot whatever you want night!  The ruins, gardens, playgrounds, hike down to the river.  Might see if I know a family or two who might like some family fall photos to practice those amazing park portraits.  Please come with some fun ideas.

Time: Early arrival 5:00 pm and Group Meet Up at 5:30 pm

Parking:  West Parking lot by the park ruins. Right off Springmill Rd. at the front of the park.

After the great presentation shared by Charles Yang, we are now going to put his personal approaches to the test!  Bring your best camera/lens to get close and personal to Monument Circle and it's spirit.  Pick one lens and stick with it!  You don't need that large gear bag with stuff you will never use.  Lets really see what your view of Indianapolis looks like. 

You can spend some time on Instagram, or Google and see what others shoot to get a feel for what appeals to you.  People - candid or portrait. Architectural details. Reflections. Chance encounters and Random incidents. Shadows. Black & White or Color. So many options! 

Time: Early arrival 5:30 pm and Group Meet Up at 6:00 pm
Parking:  Street Parking Meters
Meet up: South Side of Monument Circle on the steps.

Meet at the Park entrance, we will be taking 30-second-long shots so please bring your tripod. Lens in the range of 24 - 70mm is ideal and bring your Neutral Density filter if you have one.

The Indiana Tree Climbing Championship provides a competitive but educational opportunity for working arborists to demonstrate and exchange

About this event

The Indiana Tree Climbing Championship provides a competitive but educational opportunity for working arborists to demonstrate and exchange new climbing techniques, increase the interaction between various firms and members in the industry, and provide positive public exposure for the profession. Professional tree climbing competitions that simulate working conditions of arborists in the field are held around the world to expand the platform for arborists to learn about the latest in climbing techniques and innovations in equipment. Showcasing the highest level of professional skills and safety, this learning environment also introduces the public to the skills professional tree climbing arborists must use for safe, professional tree work.

The contestants must compete in five preliminary events, Work Climb, Aerial Rescue, Throwline, Footlock/Ascent Event, and Speed Climb. The contestants who accumulate the highest combined points total in the preliminary events earn the right to move on to the championship round, the Masters’ Challenge and awarded prizes from ArborMaster. ISA is still working on the planning of future International Climbing Competitions

​General Information

The Open Lens Competition and Exhibit is a judged event and open to all photographers in the Hamilton County and all surrounding regions.

Entry categories will be Monochrome, Color, and Creative/Altered.

An image is considered to be Monochrome only if it gives the impression of having no color (i.e., contains only shades of gray which can include pure black and pure white) OR it gives the impression of being a greyscale image that has been toned in one color across the entire image (for example, by Sepia, gold, etc.). A greyscale or multi-colored image modified or giving the impression of having been modified by partial toning, multi-toning or by the inclusion of spot coloring does not meet the definition of monochrome and will be classified as a Color Work.

Entries in Monochrome and Color can be edited to improve the quality of the image and can include stitched panorama and HDR images. Accepted actions to improve the quality of the image could include spot removal, cloning out a distraction, or blending exposures together instead of using an HDR process.

The Creative/Altered category covers images heavily manipulated to change the underlying composition, images combined with textures, images of different compositions blended together and other similar post processing techniques.

The race takes place at Eagle Creek Park.  Eagle Creek Park is the largest park in Indianapolis, and one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. It is located at 7840 W. 56th Street in Indianapolis, Indiana and covers approximately 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) of water and 3,900 acres (16 km2) of land.

Race day packet pick up 7:00am to 7:45am at Eagle Creek Park.

Both the Quarter and Half Marathon races start at 8:00am sharp. We have also included Virtual Events for both distances!
