[/image_frame]Join us for a Fashion/Glamour session at the famed ruins of Monte Ne. The tower and foundation of the lodge and a few other walls were the only portion of the one time resort left above water level after the flooding of Beaver lake. A popular hang out for teens the abandoned tower became known for its wall to wall graffiti. Concerns for safety led the Corp of Engineers to place a chain-link fence around the tower to keep visitors out.
There is a $15 fee to assist with wardrobe and other costs associated with this session. Photographers are also asked to share images taken at the session with the models through the PSNWA SmugMug account and tips for the models time are customary but not mandatory.

Total Eclipse
August 21, 2017
9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Join PSNWA members as we gather in Marshall, Mo., to photograph the total solar eclipse on Aug. 21. This event is rare in that it is cutting across the central U.S. – and central Missouri – making it accessible to most of the country. We will be traveling to the heart of the eclipse path to view the eclipse.
We’ll meet early in Marshall, Mo., at the Great Circle (Main Campus) site to view the eclipse. The eclipse is scheduled to start at 11:43 a.m. CDT, with the peak hitting about 1:10 p.m. and lasting 2 minutes and 40 seconds before ending around 2:40 p.m. The city of Marshall is asking participants to be at their designated locations by 10 a.m. (We’ll skip breakfast at the restaurant as previously announced.)
IMPORTANT: You WILL need a special filter to photograph the eclipse. Attempting to photograph the eclipse without a special filter or special filter paper will result in significant damage to your lens and camera! You also will need proper eyewear to view the eclipse or a pinhole viewer.
PSNWA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE OR DAMAGE TO CAMERA EQUIPMENT DUE TO LACK OF USING THE PROPER FILTERS OR EYE PROTECTION.
You will need to purchase your own parking pass, which reserves a spot on campus. This must be done BEFORE the event, and the sooner the better, as spots are selling out quickly. You may purchase a pass ($20 per vehicle) at the link here: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/marshall-mo-solar-eclipse-committee-13484823602
