Washington Park

This Meetup, which is co-hosted with James Dean, has two parts. The first part is capturing photographs in Denver’s Washington Park. The Park, with its two lakes, boathouse, formal Victorian gardens, statues, birds, and people enjoying the open spaces offers many diverse photo opportunities. On Sunday April 26, we will meet at 6:00 pm outside the Rec. Center (the address is 701 S Franklin; enter the park on E. Kentucky Ave., west off of S. Franklin St.; please check on Google maps). We will separate, or form smaller groups, and set out to find interesting images. At 8:00 pm we will re-group, and for those interested, end the outing with a drink and snack in one of the Park’s picnic areas (bring a camping chair and your refreshments with you). Sunset is at about 7:50 pm, so the session will cover late afternoon sun creating interesting shadows and the start of the golden hour. For the second part we will meet at 5:30 pm the following Thursday (April 30) in north Golden (in a commercial office facility near the intersection of Hwy 93 and Golden Gate Canyon Rd). The meeting is to review our images; there is no scoring or judging, just opportunity to provide constructive feedback to improve our images. The focus is our creativity, not technical minutia although feedback of how to improve technically to capture better images is welcomed. I will provide the building address on Sunday during the photo outing. There is a $ 5.00 fee to join the Meetup which is limited to 8 participants. Only RSVP “yes” if you can join both parts of the Meetup. You are welcome to contact me if you have any questions ([robertcooke@icloud.com](mailto:robertcooke@icloud.com)).
