Camera Samurai

Yes, the next Washington, DC photo tour is almost upon us.

Saturday night, June 30^th, we will meet at the World War II Memorial and start shooting there. From there we can get good views of the Washington Monument and then walk to the Korean War Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, end up at the Lincoln Memorial and then walk out to the Memorial Bridge, where you can get a pretty good view of Rosslyn and see some good headlights, which are great for long exposures.

Sunset is at 8:30 that day, so we should meet then. We will have a little bit of light from the horizon and then will use whatever artificial light there is.

When: Saturday, 30 June 2007 at 8:30 p.m. until approximately 10:30 p.m.
Where: World War II Memorial
Cost: $30
Look for: Carl Weaver (that’s me – the farang in the picture). I will have a camera pack and a tripod. Tall guy. Short hair.

Skills you will practice or learn:

• Nighttime and low-light photography
• Long exposures
• How to set up your camera to get some great shots
• Using your tripod for maximum effectiveness
• White balancing for nighttime photography
• Walking – sorry, I had to include it

I thought about including the Jefferson Memorial but that’s almost a mile away from the Lincoln Memorial. That might be too much walking for one night but let’s see when we get there.

What to bring (as much of this as you can):

• Camera gear
• Tripod
• Bulb or remote control
• Appropriate clothing/shoes/equipment for the weather
• Your creative vision

So who’s coming? Will you be there?
