About this Event

Morning Light at the Ballard Locks


Start your Sunday morning with cameras, creativity, and the unique scenery of Seattle’s iconic alongside Sony’s Dan Hawk and Reza Malayeri. From boats passing through the locks and reflections on the water to textured industrial details and candid moments along the pathways, this guided photowalk is a chance to slow down, explore, and sharpen your eye with two experienced Sony creatives.

Along the way, Dan and Reza will share tips on composition, autofocus techniques, working with changing light, and finding compelling moments in a constantly moving environment. Whether you’re looking to test out Sony gear, build confidence behind the camera, or simply enjoy a relaxed morning of shooting with fellow photographers, this walk is designed to inspire.


We will meet as a group just inside the North Gate which is near the Visitor Center.
