Save the Date: Holiday Light Clinic & Photowalk 12.17.09

By Rich Legg

Temple Square Christmas Photowalk

It is time again for Photowalking Utah to make its annual trek to Temple Square in Salt Lake City to photograph the holiday lights on display. This year's event will again be in two parts. The first part will be a mini-clinic on taking low-light photos held at the Salt Lake City Library. When the one-hour clinic ends, the group will make their way to Temple Square to photograph the incredible holiday lights on display.

Here's the schedule:

December 17 - 6:30 to 9:00 pm

6:30 pm - Mini-clinic at the Salt Lake City Library (210 E 400 South) 4th floor conference room.

7:35 pm - Clinic concludes. Head downstairs to the TRAX station

7:50 pm - Ride the TRAX train (for free) to Temple Square

8:00 pm - Photography at Temple Square

This year we are adding a bit of giving to the December event. We will be collecting winter clothing to be donated to local organizations that help clothe those in need. Please bring any extra jackets, scarves, hats, etc. that are in good condition to the library. These will be collected and distributed to those less fortunate.

As always, there is absolutely no charge to participate in this event. Photographers of ANY skill level are invited to join in.

Head on over to the event discussion on the Photowalking Utah Flickr page if you have any questions or would simply like to say you're coming. I hope to see a great group on the 17th.

Super excited! Last years was a lot of fun.

Just remember to dress super duper mega duty warm & bring extra batteries. Some reason batteries seem to drain faster in the cold. True story.

Hey, so i don't know who to contact about this, and I assume it will be ok, but:

A little Provo Photowalk group we started would like to join with you guys for December. Can I RSVP for about 8 people coming up from Provo? :)

I will be there for sure, I need help with taking pictures at night, or low lighting situations.

Jesse,

As I said in the Flickr discussion group, you are more than welcome. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Amy,

Be sure to attend the pre-photowalk clinic on low light photography as well.
