The weekend weather has not been great as of late here in the Nation’s Capital.  The thought of a photowalk in the rain and wind has not really inspired me as of late.  This weekend, however, was simply beautiful and so my thoughts have once again turned to planning the next DC Photowalk.  So where will this next walk take place?  Funny you should ask, because I actually have an answer this time.  A while back, Mike Palmer started posting a series of images he took during a shooting session down in Georgetown.  I loved the images so much that I thought it would definitely have to be my next photowalk location.

And so it shall be, this upcoming walk will take us along the banks of the C&O Canal, down by the Potomac Rowing Club, and then back up the M St. corridor towards our starting point.  When the photowalk will take place is a different story all together.  I was just checking over the calendar and picking the date is going to be a little tricky.  Mike told me that Sunday mornings are pretty quite down in Georgetown which sounded good to me but picking the right Sunday may be hard to do.  This coming Sunday is Mother’s Day (you knew that, right?) so I looked at the next Sunday.  Unfortunately I will be leaving on a business trip that afternoon, so that’s out of the question.  The 25th of May is the day before Memorial day which means that a lot of folks will be leaving town for the holiday weekend.  That leaves June 1st as another possible date.  I will look at the 1st of June and maybe the 25th of May as my two possible dates, so if you would like to come and have any preference, please drop me a comment and let me know.  Weather willing, I think this will be a great event with an extremely photogenic location.  So start checking your calendars and sending me some feedback so I can hammer out the details for this upcoming photowalk.  You won’t want to miss it.

To see more of Mike’s images like the one above, head over and check out his blog at Mike Palmer Photography.

    Jeff,
    That’s very timely of you, I was just thinking of doing a Georgetown outing myself. Been following your blog for a while now. I think June 1st is a better date, plus I think a couple of people might come with me on that date.

    A bit off-topic, but an event DC-area photographers won’t want to miss:

    For 3 nights, May 9-11, the south and west facades of the Washington Cathedral are going to be fully illuminated by Swiss lighting artist, Gerry Hofstetter. The event is called Lighting to Unite. The website lists times and viewing vantage points around the DC area. The show is on sunset to midnight. On site, there is a concert and a special service.

  16. Elizabeth G says:

    I would love to join in if it’s on June 1.

    Jeff,

    How did you get that “steely,” high contrast look with your canal shot? Do you have a tutorial on that effect? Or maybe there’s an NAPP tutorial somewhere. Thanks!

    Hi Jeff,
    The image on this post was actually taken and processed by Mike Palmer over at Mike Palmer Photography. I believe he used a plug-in called ReDynaMix to achieve the effect that you are talking about. If you want more info on the plug-in, stop on over to his blog and see some of his other examples and drop him a line. I am sure he would be happy to tell you more about the program. You can get to his site by going to http://mpalmerphotography.blogspot.com/

    Thanks, Jeff. I appreciate you quick response!

  20. My wife and I would both be interested…and would likely bring along our two little girls (Ella 5 and Eva 3) in case the architecture alone is insufficient inspiration. At this point either date works for us. – Michael and Paulette in Montclair

    Michael,
    There’s always something to shoot when there are kids around. The more, the merrier.
