This is Darkroomers 2nd year hosting the annual Scott Kelby Photowalk and we think a cool autumn evening in Balboa Park will be the best way to end the day!

There will be plenty of long exposures, twilight captures and a near moonless sky.

There are several bridges in and around the Park and we plan to hit many of them from which we will photograph the city skyline using traffic and long exposures to create some great light streaks.  The reflection pond with the botanical building is a lot of fun and we will stop there along the way. The Old Globe Theater, Organ Pavilion and Spanish Village will get some brief attention as well.  Balboa Park comes alive after dark so come ready to have some fun with your photography and meet some new friends–this is going to be a great photowalk!

We will start and finish our walk from the Photographic Arts Building which is home to the Southern California Association of Camera Clubs and there is plenty of parking in the carousel lot adjacent to our building.  We will have a walk briefing before we head out and there will be refreshments in the building before and after the walk.

Join us for our Quarterly Image Competition.

The Quarterly Image Competition is a special event for Darkroomers. Guests can come and vote on images but only members can submit images. The competition is theme based and the theme is identified at the beginning of the quarter. The meetings are a social event with Hors d’oeuvres and drinks being served. Members and guests can walk around and take in the images and vote on the ones they like.

The subject for this quarter is “Calm”.

We will also be showing “Finding Vivian Maier”;

And Laurie Rubem from ViewBug will be stopping by with some cool prizes to giveway!

This meeting we will also be hanging images from our 500px and Scott Kelby photowalks…
