BW Photography Walk Talk Meetup

Embark on a photographic journey of contrasts and shapes, where composition and lighting take center stage in the absence of color. Dive into the art of black and white photography, an experience crafted for enthusiasts of all skill levels and open to any type of camera, from DSLRs to smartphones. Join us for an afternoon session perfectly timed to capture the dramatic long shadows that accentuate the monochromatic beauty of our surroundings. Over two enriching hours, you'll get hands-on experience and insights into the powerful role of mood in photography. Our chosen canvas is the historic Elmwood Cemetery, a peaceful resting place founded in 1853. This location boasts an array of markers, family mausoleums, and standalone sculptures set against a serene park-like backdrop. Also, within this setting, lies West Point Cemetery, with its own rich history dating back to 1875, which includes the burial grounds for 58 Union Army volunteers. Discover the storied past and visual splendor of these hallowed grounds, and let their timeless beauty inspire your photographic narrative. Whether a seasoned professional or an eager novice, this meet-up is a unique opportunity to refine your skills and view the world through a different lens.
