June 20, 2009 (8 a.m. –5 p.m.)

Would you like to improve your photography skills outside the confines of a classroom? Come join us on a photo trip out of town!

The Fun Shoot Series integrates a brief lecture and on-the-spot photo critiques. After the trip, the best photographs will be highlighted in a group exhibit, to be held at FHL’s The Alcove photo gallery.

The first leg of the series is a photo trip to picturesque Tagaytay. The city, which overlooks the breathtaking Taal Lake and Taal Volcano, has become a major food haunt. Have a taste of Tagaytay’s famed bulalo and other culinary delights—and take beautiful photos of them as well.

Photographing Food in Tagaytay is scheduled on June 20, 2009. A short lecture will be held at the Filipinas Heritage Library before going to Tagaytay. Round trip transfer and food to photograph and enjoy afterwards will be provided.
