Enjoy and explore the magnificent splendor of the Hudson Valley, no matter what season or time of day. Whenever you find an available eight-hour spot in your schedule on Saturday or Sunday, join us for an unforgettable photographic experience. You will encounter breathtaking land and riverscapes as well as distinctive old-world architecture and beautifully preserved buildings dating back to the American Revolution. The local townships are also wonderful locations for photography with resident artisans, business owners, and people out and about, presenting fantastic street photography opportunities wherever you point your camera lens.
The itinerary for the day includes a fine meal experience and a tabletop food photography shoot as well, allowing you to practice food photography in a professional setting.
Maybe you live close by in the Hudson Valley community already, so you can drive over to the DPA Headquarters at 15 Powder Mill Road, Newburgh, NY, 12550, which is conveniently located just off highway 52, exit 8 on I-84. Or you can make the scenic 90-minute drive from New York City along the winding Hudson River, which is a photographic opportunity in and of itself. You might prefer to take the Metro North commuter rail from Grand Central Terminal; round-trip fare is approximately thirty dollars, and a DPA staff member will pick you up ninety minutes later at the Beacon Station. Trains leave and return every hour, as you can see with Metro-North listings for the Poughkeepsie destination.
