About BPS
Welcome! Baltimore Photo Safari began 5 years ago with a simple concept - show folks where to find great photo opportunities and how to create perfect images. I combine how-to instruction, hands-on assistance, and professional critiques to enhance your photographic skills and enrich your enjoyment of photography. I choose locations that exhilarate your spirit, spark your photography, and wow your viewer with electrifying images.My 2012 schedule includes the Inner Harbor photo safaris featured last year in the Washington Post; new photo weekends at destinations I describe in my book Photographing Baltimore, Annapolis, and MD’s Eastern Shore (Countryman Press © 2012); perennial favorites such as Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge; and, several full-length photography workshops in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Grab your camera and come join the fun and excitement!
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor at Night
Multiple Saturday Evenings
The Inner Harbor in Baltimore is a treasure trove of photogenic delights by day, and it is even better at night! We meet at the Maryland Science Center for an orientation on nighttime photography techniques and then make our way along the waterfront promenade. We use the early evening light, the setting sun, and twilight to shoot the Inner Harbor skyline; the new Harboreast skyline; reflections in the water; boats and ships in the Harbor; the Power Plant; and the iconic Domino Sugar sign that illuminates the Harbor; and more.
We explore as many evening twilight photo opportunities as time and light permit. At each stop along this photo safari, I review white balance options and settings for aperture and shutter speed. I show you where to find perfect shots of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and how to capture them.
Included in this training session
The fee covers the evening’s hands-on photography instruction and tremendous photo opportunities. My role as lead instructor is to help you create better images and fill your portfolio. I do not photograph on photo safaris, I teach.
My goal is to help you develop a set of skills and techniques you can use over your lifetime to create images of which you will be proud. To help reinforce the techniques we cover, I provide participants via email a follow-up professional critique of any 3 images shot during this evening twilight photo safari.
I designed this evening twilight photo safari to accommodate a maximum of 8 participants. A minimum of 3 participants is required.
