About this Event
Join us for a guided photo walk at the Historic Easton Cemetery, founded in 1849 and spanning 84 acres of rolling hills full of large trees and sculptural monuments that invite photographic exploration.
We'll explore the cemetery and its ties to Easton history with our cameras. Along the way we'll discuss camera & photo tips and techniques to get great photos in this amazing location. We'll even take a look at some Easton photographers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Key topics for this session:
- Making a plan for your visit to a new location
- Camera settings to consider
- Sharp focus for landscape photos
- Watching the light and finding the best angles
- Choosing the right lens for the story you're trying to tell
- Using a polarizing filter to punch up contrast, or manage difficult light
Gear to consider:
- Wide to ultra-wide lens for dramatic perspective, 15mm – 24mm
- Medium to telephoto lens to isolate individual elements
- Polarizing filter to manage reflections & alter color and contrast
- Comfortable backpack or sling style bag for walking around the cemetery
