On Saturday, April 5th<\/sup> we\u2019ll explore Baltimore\u2019s Inner Harbor<\/a> and Fells Point<\/a>. \u00a0A historic seaport since the 1700\u2019s it is one of the most photographed and visited areas of the city.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Visually stunning any time of the day, it is one of Baltimore\u2019s favorite locations for photography workshops. Water, nautical sights and historic buildings combine together to provide an abundance of great image opportunities.\u00a0 Within the Inner Harbor you\u2019ll find the last Civil War vessel afloat, the USS Constellation<\/a> and the tall ship, Clipper City<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 If you like the hustle and bustle of a true urban market, the Inner Harbor houses Harborplace<\/a> with over 160 popular shops and restaurants where you can wine and dine, visit the Maritime Museum<\/a> and take in some beautiful Inner Harbor views.<\/p>\n

Adjacent to the Inner Harbor is the Fell’s Point historic waterfront neighborhood in the southeastern area of Baltimore.\u00a0 If you are interested in architectural photography, Fell\u2019s Point, founded in 1730, includes a diversity of historic architecture. Flemish bond brick is used in some of the earliest homes while row housing is prominent in eighteenth and early twentieth century construction. Gabled roof buildings and Victorian homes are also interspersed with other housing.<\/p>\n

Baltimore Meeting Place:<\/h2>\n

A good place to meet is the Corner Bakery Caf\u00e9<\/a> located across the street from the Baltimore Aquarium<\/a>.\u00a0 The address is 500 E. Pratt Street, Baltimore<\/a>.\u00a0 On Saturdays the caf\u00e9 opens at 6:00am.\u00a0 On April 5, the morning of our field trip, sunrise is at 7:06am with morning civil twilight at 6:39am.\u00a0 I recommend meeting around 6:15 to give you time for a relaxing cup of coffee before heading out.<\/p>\n

Driving time is roughly an hour from the Dunn Loring Fire Station to the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Parking:\u00a0 There is a parking garage directly across from the Corner Bakery Caf\u00e9 located at 400 E Pratt St, Baltimore<\/a>.\u00a0 Their site says it is open 24\/7.<\/p>\n

On weekends many garages offer a discounted all-day flat rate of $7-$10.<\/p>\n

Small self-pay lots tucked around the waterfront area can be a good deal. These unattended lots usually have a flat rate of $5-7 for the day. Park in a spot, and check the number painted on your spot. Slip your cash in the corresponding slot in a metal box.<\/p>\n

Getting to Fells Point from the Inner Harbor is quite a long walk.\u00a0 Instead you can drive or take a nice boat ride on the Baltimore Water Taxi<\/a> from Harborplace or the Aquarium to Fells Point.\u00a0 You can get an all-day BWT ticket for $12 and hop on and hop off as much as you like the entire day.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in participating in this field trip, either send an email to field-trip “AT” nvps.org or sign up during an NVPS meeting.\u00a0 Please indicate if you need a ride or if you can volunteer to be a carpool driver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
