City Center at Holiday Time!

Join us for a fun walk with your camera or phone through DC’s Downtown City Center holiday time,  all beautifully illuminated and decorated – a visual feast for your camera!

Led by architectural photographer and Washington Photo Safari director E. David Luria, this is an opportunity to practice low light hand-held nighttime cityscape photography, utilizing the correct white balance menus of your camera, and creating the most interesting and colorful compositions of the gaily decorated passageways, the Christmas tree, the fountains, and the store windows. The pictures you get will make great holiday cards and gifts for friends and family!

If your camera is equipped with the Kelvin color temperature scale, Mr. Luria will show you how to achieve the correct color balance in your photos without having to do later adjustments in post-production software.

If your camera is a late model smartphone, Mr. Luria will help you navigate the phone’s editing functions to achieve more dramatic images.

Bring phone or camera with wide and/or medium lenses – No tripods on this safari!
