Night Photography in Georgetown with Marie Joabar

Night Photography in Georgetown with Marie Joabar

Capture incredible nighttime images of DC’s most exciting area, Georgetown! Join Instructor Marie Joabar for this unique nighttime photo shoot.

Learn how to capture long exposures, tips for framing exciting compositions and colorful night scenes as we explore Georgetown.

Capture compelling images of the Kennedy Center and Key Bridge complete with reflections in river. The historic streets and storefronts are illuminated in the soft glow of old-fashioned street lamps and provide unique photo ops. Along the vibrant area of M St and Wisconsin Ave, we’ll capture colorful neon signs and also shoot long exposures of traffic passing by for exciting images of streaking car taillights.

We will meet at outside of the Starbucks located at the Washington Harbour. The exact address is 3050 Water St NW, Washington, DC 20007.
Please be prompt so as not to delay the start. Georgetown is a busy area, please leave enough time to get there, find parking and walk to the meeting point. Contact information for the instructor will be provided to registrants.
On Sundays, there is free parking in DC but finding a spot in Georgetown can be challenging. There is a parking garage on Wisconsin south of M St. there are also some on K St. If taking Metro, Foggy Bottom (on 23rd St) is the closest and is about 3/4 mile to our starting point. We’ll end on Wisconsin Ave near N St.

Recommended Gear:
Bring your camera, an extra battery and memory card, and a sturdy tripod. A cable release is helpful, or a remote to trigger the shutter. Lenses in the range of 18 to 140mm will work fine, wider or longer lenses will work as well.

We will be walking a lot so wear comfortable shoes. You may also want to bring a bottle of water.

Participants should be familiar with their camera settings and with exposure controls such as ISO, Aperture, and Shutter. We will not be able to introduce you to this material at this class. If not familiar with these topics, consider taking a Photo Basics class first at Capital Photography Center.
