SUMMARY:Field Trip: Old Town Alexandria - Street Photography
DESCRIPTION:September 2019 Field Trip \nOld Town Street Photography \nWithin eyesight of Washington\, D.C.\, on the Potomac River Old Town Alexandria\, VA is nationally recognized for its rich history\, beautifully preserved 18th- and 19th-century architecture\, cobble stone streets\, and for their delightful festivals\, parades\, shops\, restaurants and great people watching. \nKicking off the 2019 – 2020 club year\, two of NVPS’ best street photographers\, Willa and Bob Friedman\, will lead a field trip through Old Town Alexandria.  They will provide an opportunity for us to learn and/or refine the art of street photography\, including how to capture in” stealth mode” those special moments of people doing their thing. \nWhen: Saturday\, September 21st at \nTime: 9:00a.m. \nWhere: 301 King Street\, Alexandria\, VA \nWe will meet at the entrance to the Market Square Parking Garage (Republic Parking) at 110-198 N. Fairfax Street near the intersection of King Street and N. Fairfax.  There is free parking until noon according to their website. Note – the last time Bob was there the sign said 1:00PM. \nWe will begin by wandering through the market seeking interesting scenes and people.  Once we’ve had our fill and/or the market gets too crowded\, we will head toward the river taking photos along the way which includes some interesting architecture.  Then along the river behind the Torpedo Factory is a park and veranda with great opportunities to catch people “doing their thing” and interacting with a new art installation.   \nAs to photo gear a medium zoom covers it all. Wide angle and normal lens\, 50-75mm should be adequate. A long lens is not recommended. And per Willa\, no tripods! \nField Trip Coordinators for 2019-2020 are Judy Graham and Tana Ebbole\, fieldtrips-2019@nvps.org

Bill enjoys competing his images at NVPS and making albums from pictures he and his wife Judy take on their travels.     \nBill and Judy recently moved from McLean\, where they raised their three kids\, out to the Willowsford development in southern Loudoun County.  They spend most of the summer in Delaware\, where Bill takes his camera to wildlife refuges regularly. He is just beginning to explore the photo opportunities in Loudoun and west of there.   His main photography goal is to keep on doing what he’s been doing; it is fun.   \nBill is the secretary and a former president of Nature Visions\, a member of NVPS for the past ten years\, and the winner of a small number of photography ribbons and awards from those two organizations. \nBill is a retired foreign service officer and trade negotiator who served in Washington\, Korea and Japan.  Follow him on Facebook for his views on current events; he doesn’t post his pictures there.    \n \n  \n  \n  \n\n \nFlying Critters \nPhotography is David Crooks’ passion and to be able to capture the beauty of nature is the reward.  From his early days of chasing after cardinals in his neighborhood\, to visiting  many local and far away\, parks\, reserves\, and other places where “wild life” lives\, David pursues his love of photography. \nFive years ago\, David\, his wife\, and their dog Sam\, moved to Annandale from Leesburg to be closer to work.  He was a member of Loudoun Photo Club for about 5 years and then joined NVPS. He is currently the Webmaster of the NVPS website. \nIn January 2015\, David decided to create a local photography Meetup.  He knew there were many great places to photograph the wildlife along the beltway near his house.  Four and a half years later\, the Virginia Beltway Photography Meetup Group has over 1\,900 members and he leads about two field trips a month. \nCurrently David uses a Canon 7D Mark II with a Sigma 50-500mm lens on a gimbal head and tripod.  David has three destinations on his bucket list: Iceland\, Cuba\, and Costa Rica\, in no particular order! \nThe title of his presentation is “Flying Critters\,” a slideshow of his photos of birds and bugs in flight.  Enjoy!
