Weekly Event - Every Wednesday
Learn how to take great pictures BEFORE you go on that expensive trip! Join our standard "Monuments and Memorials" workshop, offered every Wednesday and Saturday, in which Paris-trained architectural photographer E. David Luria takes you to the most popular monuments and historic buildings in Washington: the White House, Lafayette Park, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the Albert Einstein, Lincoln, Korea, Vietnam, and Vietnam Women's Memorials, and to Union Station. While you are taking the pictures, Mr. Luria gives you hands-on tips in basic architectural photography, outdoor portraiture, and interior photography without flash or tripod.
Meet at Renwick Gallery, 17th and Pennsylvania Ave NW. Advance reservations required. Safari groups are generally 3-6 people only. Suggested as preliminary course before taking special safaris. Open to any photographer at any skill level with any camera, film or digital. No tripod needed on the morning itinerary.
The Half-Day Safari starts at 9:45am and ends at 1:15pm.
Fee: $74/person half-day, includes transportation and materials.
The full day version ($129/person) offered on Wednesdays only includes the morning session described above and, after lunch in Union Station, goes on to the colorful Adams Morgan entertainment/restaurant district for training in "right-brained" abstract photography, then to the magnificent Washington National Cathedral where we teach you how (and how not) to photograph church interiors and the most beautiful stained glass windows you will ever see in any church.
Our afternoon session ends at the famous 76-foot tall Iwo Jima Marine Corps Memorial in Arlington, where you can duplicate the famous photograph taken by AP photographer Joe Rosenthal on Mt. Suribachi in 1945 and capture in your camera each of the six soldiers depicted in Clint Eastwood's recent movie, "Flag of our Fathers," against a backdrop of the Washington Monument and the US Capitol across the Potomac River. The safari ends at 5:15 pm and we drop you off at the Rosslyn Metro Station on the Blue/Orange Lines.
Safari cancellations can only be honored if we receive the cancellation at least 8 days in advance of the safari. Refunds requested by participants are subject to a 3% service and handling charge. No refunds will be made for cancellations received at info@washingtonphotosafari.com less than 8 days before the date of the safari.
