Mt. Airy, Part II

On October 14th I participated in the second Mt. Airy photo shoot organized by one of my online friends, and fellow member of the modelmayhem.com website. There were quite a few more photographers and models at this shoot. Greg Kalmbach and I arrived at around 11am, and the park shelter was already full of people, food, and photography equipment. Quite a few people had even been there for a while and shot some photos.

For the most part, the modelmayhem shoots are a good time. They give me a chance to meet other photographers and share my experiences in photography. They also let me photograph people that I haven't previously worked with. The only issue I've had so far is the reliability of some of the models. In the three shoots I have been part of, some of the models have either been late, or have not shown up at all. My assumption is that these shoots are not taken too seriously by some, since they are not paid shoots. I can understand that, to an extent. But I still think that there is a level of professionalism that needs to be met. Just my 2¢.

Below is a slideshow of some of my photos from the shoot. There are only a few so far. I will have more as I complete them. There however will not be as many as some of my previous photos shoots, because I did not actually schedule models this time. I spent most of the shoot networking with the photographers and models.
