The Yale Campus is the stage for our most popular walk: join us as we move thru the old campus, a satellite campus/courtyard, past Sterling Memorial Library and end at the Hewitt Quad and the iconic Beinecke Library which is near the Grove St Cemetery itself a great place to make frames. Photogs of all levels and mediums are invited to make frames of the varying surfaces and textures Yale has to offer.

The walk costs $12 a person. RSVP here and use the paypal processing option with your preferred credit card.

We will meet at the Yale Visitor Center at 149 Elm Street, kicking off the photo walk at 11:00 AM. As we end near the cemetery consider parking there; in any case give yourself time to park.

We'll take advantage of the fading light to practice our long exposure settings of the City Hall waterfalls, light paint the doughboy in front of the hall and try our hands at car trail tracks.

All of these settings will provide some cool images made possible by dragging the shutter many seconds- consider practicing your shutter priority or manual exposure settings, along with manual ISOs and setting up your tripod. I'll be on hand to help along with one of my Milford Photo helpers. Reach out to me with any questions at jesse.thompson@milfordphoto.com.

You'll need a tripod and a camera that has a manual shutter setting. We'll meet behind City Hall at the waterfalls at 7:15. There's plenty of on street parking around the area or you can park at the store and walk down the street. $20 per photographer and the group is capped at 20.
