Quick Details
Annapolis, Maryland’s capital, is one of the most scenic towns in the Mid-Atlantic region and has a variety of museums and historic sites as well as great restaurants and special events.
Beginning at the Maryland State House main entrance, we will walk down to the waterfront through the beautiful streets, shooting the town’s historical scenes, the people and the vibrant colors of the houses and their many details that only a photographer’s eye can discover.
This is a great place and provides the opportunity to learn and practice the techniques of travel, street, architecture and night photography with professional photographer Alain Gutierrez.
Just before sunset, the light makes the colors pop and gives us lots of chances to make beautiful images.
Learn how to control your camera, how to find the images and how to capture the scenery.
We will start with a 15–20-minute orientation on camera settings, lens usage, angles, composition and white balance. The goal is to learn how to work in Manual Mode and with tripods.
