Photo Tour Trekkers and the Photography Club of Bayfield would like to invite you to join us for the 7th Annual Bayfield Fall Foto Fest October 5th and 6th, 2019. This year we are pleased to be featuring The Royal Scots 1812 Re-enactors.

Step back in time to the year 1812, as British troops attempt to expel American invaders. Hear the crack of the musket and the roar of the cannon. Come and experience life in the early 19th century. See the colourful clothing, smell the food prepared over open fires, and experience the foot soldiers’ camp. That’s right, the troops will be setting up camp and spending the weekend with us at Fall Foto Fest.

This will be a great photo addition to our weekend event. We will host morning workshops using the re-enactors as our backdrop and then, mid morning you’ll have the opportunity to photograph the action during their mock battle. Each day one choose from one of six hands on workshops with our instructors. Workshops listed below.

1 - Use of Fill Flash and Reflectors 2 - Telling the Story 3 - Attention to Detail / Depth of Field 4 - Getting Up Close 5 - Perspectives and Angles 6 - Composing a Portrait and Posing. We will be working with the actors at the 1812 Camp. Selection of these workshops during registration.
