Jackson St Bridge overlooking Atlanta
Details
http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/f/c/2/event_90177282.jpegTime to get together again to shoot the sunset and afternoon traffic. Last time we did this, we did it on a Saturday. This time we'll plan to do it during the latter part of rush hour on into the evening. Strength in numbers.
Try to park on Cain St. NE. We'll try to recruit someone to watch over the vehicles.
Sunset is at 6:14pm. My guess is that we'll finish up by 7pm. Location: http://g.co/maps/bczsb

Anyone not familiar with equipment needs for this type of photography, here are my suggestions:
Absolute needs:
Tripod Wide to ultra-wide angle lens, 10mm to 50mm. Remember that if you have a crop sensor camera, your focal length will be increased. Cable release/remote Additional thoughts:
Bring Neutral Density (ND) filters. These will allow you to shoot longer exposure images. As the street lights start to have a bigger effect, change to a higher aperture in order to get the star effect on any light that shines directly into your lens. The star effect will be different for all lens. Usually caused by the number of aperture blades and number of glass elements in the lens. Think time-lapse. By using the internal or external intervolameter, set your camera to take an image every few seconds. Afterwards, use a slideshow editing program to build your time-lapse video of lights and action. Really important: Do not leave any valuables in plain sight inside your vehicle. Only bring what equipment you plan to use and carry it with you to the bridge. Vehicle break-ins have taken place in the past.
