Dallas Skyline Photography Workshop

Trinity Groves – Particular Restaurant will be determined a week or so prior to the Class as availability changes from year to year.  Parking is across Gulden Ln. from Trinity Groves.

We will meet at 6:00 PM to go through the agenda, cover introductions and some instruction prior to heading out to the Levee.  Participants should bring their cameras with them to this portion of the evening but will not need tripods.
 
First stop is on the Levee near Houston St followed by a return to the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and a wrap up back at Trinity Groves.

Post-workshop – We will provide additional video courses on editing based on images taken during the class.

We will be using personal vehicles to transfer between Trinity Groves and the Levee.  Depending on the number of participants we will take 2 or 3 vehicles to the shooting location.

DSLR camera – Crop Sensor or Full Frame

Lenses – Wide Angle & Medium (24-70) Telephoto.  Long Zoom may be nice too.

Sturdy Tripod – Doesn’t have to be expensive, just sturdy.

A remote trigger or the ability to activate shutter delay

Extra Battery & SD Card

A notepad or something you can take notes with.

The area we will be walking in may be wet or muddy so wear appropriate shoes/clothing.

At this time of year, it could be a bit warm and muggy or it could be cool and damp.  Be prepared for either as after dark could see cooler temps.
 
Depending on Spring temperatures we may have a few bugs.  I’ll have some bugspray in case anyone wants some.  If you have sensitive skin or prefer your own, please plan accordingly.

We will spend some time discussing safety in the areas we will be visiting and how to feel more secure in areas you’ve not visited before.

Beyond the skyline, the Trinity River has a diverse and very photogenic river bottom.  Visit https://trinityparkconservancy.org/ for more information on birding and other opportunities.

Visit https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=fwd&gage=dalt2 to see the water levels for the Dallas monitor station on the Trinity River.  Generally speaking, anytime the water rises above the 35 ft stage the conditions are best for getting reflected shots of the skyline.  However, even a little bit of water can provide great composition opportunities.
