Description

Capture the festive excitement of the holiday season immersed in DC’s iconic Downtown Holiday Market on F Street. Join us and navigate outdoor low-light environments and street crowds to photograph stunning imagery.

We will also help you refine your eye for composition and master your camera’s low-light controls!

We will cover techniques for:

  • Photographing Street performances (as available)
  • Capturing vendors in their element
  • Using reflections for unique captures
  • Turning background holiday lights into dreamy bokeh
With luck we may have the opportunity to photograph food trucks with rising steam for “shoot through” opportunities.

Whether you shoot with a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or advanced point-and-shoot, join us and bring your creative energy!

Recommended Gear:

  • Lenses in the range of 24-200mm are ideal.
  • Primes such as 35mm, 50mm, 85mm will work well too, especially in low light.
  • Tripods are optional.
  • They may be cumbersome in the tighter areas in the market but would be great for wider shots and long shutter speeds scenes.
Prerequisites: Students should be familiar with their cameras and have a good understanding of basic exposure controls (setting ISO, shutter speed and aperture).
