Thanks for the heads up. I might be interested if a group gets together. Mondays are out for me, and I can't get there until probably 1:30 or 2 on Sundays. Saturdays are better for me.

Howdy Bill and Paul,

Thanks so much for the "heads up" on these 2 neat events. It would sure be great if we could put together a shoot around either one or both events.

Thanks again, and Keep Shooting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take care,

This and the Blooms at the Dallas Arboretum sound like fun. I'm in for any time on the weekends (especially Saturdays). It will be my first event like this so I am looking forward to it. Thanks for the heads up.

Ok, I will shot for 1:30... Now that is 2 of use...
I don't know about the tripods, I have never been there. In the butterfly places I have been in, you really can't use a tripod anyway. You have to be moving around to much.

Did you see my street shot post ?

In the 'Conservatory' the walkways are pretty narrow. If very many people are in there a tripod would probably wind up being a problem. A monopod would probably be ok. In the rest of the Gardens a tripod would not be a problem. Except for the 'slow moving'. I have seen tripods used there.
