\"\"<\/a>On August 14 Mike Whalen will lead a late-afternoon\/evening field-trip to the Montgomery County Fair in Gaithersburg, MD. This is an excellent opportunity to photograph colorful lights and carnival rides, award-winning farm animals, people having fun, and so much more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A highlight will be to capture night photos of the many moving light-trails produced by the rides. Plan to stay well after dark. A tripod  is a must  for slow-shutter captures, and a wide-standard focal length zoom lens would be most useful.<\/p>\n

We will plan to meet inside the fairgrounds around 4:00 PM, likely near the poultry house on Hickory Ave.  We will also plan to meet at 6:30 near the intersection of Red Oak St. and Maple Ave. to grab a quick bite at one of the nearby eateries. After that, we will migrate to the carnival area to photograph lights, rides, concessions, etc. (See map below.)<\/p>\n

If your interested, please contact Mike via email (specialboardmember1-2019 “at” nvps.org<\/a>) and include your cell phone number in case he needs to contact you.<\/p>\n

The admission cost is $15 and parking is $10. There is plenty of parking, but car-pooling is always a good option.<\/p>\n
