Photo shoot Date

It was suggested I make this a poll.

All in favor of doing the Hoover Dam Photo shoot on the 12th of March, 2006...

For a daytime shot, anytime from 11:00 am to 2:30pm is good (little shadowing from canyon walls).

I think a daytime shot would turn out better than nighttime.

The best time for a shoot in a place like Hoover Dam would be right around 5-6PM. The lighting will be optimal.

You want the sun to have just barely started sinking into the horizon.

Because of the canyon walls at that specific location, after 2:30 p.m., heavy shadowing occurs. I suspect in march, this will happen a tad later, maybe cl,oser to 3:00p.m.

Maybe the shadows will work for us (I suck at photography, except at crime scenes). If you want to come out to the dam to look the area over, let me know and I can work something out.

Just realized, is anyone's schedule gonna be a problem with this date due to the NASCAR event on that day?

Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Everything is still a go for this weekend. Hopefully most who signed up can attend. Was not easy to set this up. I got the final approval back yesterday from Washington DC. The times I have it scheduled for is 1200-1500 on Sunday.

I was thinking we could meet beforehand for lunch. Anyone have a place in mind?

I can probably actually break away from the races for a couple of hours to shoot the pics.

Aye, we have some admin folks who don't care for the police too much. They were pulling all sorts of BS. So I just went around them to a buddy of mine in DC who greased all the wheels.

Sounds pretty good if noone comes up with any other ideas.

US95 & Sunset Rd.

If you make it there you'll be able to find everyone.

I'll probably meet you all at the dam - why don't we arrange a 2nd meeting place at one of the smaller parking lots on the AZ side at 11:45 for those of us who are sleeping in late??? I'm guessing that side is where we descend from, so I'll be at the first lot on the AZ side between 1130 and 1145.
