PENN QUARTER & DOWNTOWN DC HOLIDAY MARKET NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY (in-person)
We'll shoot at Penn Quarter (including Pennsylvania Avenue, the National Archives, 7th St. and the Chinatown Friendship Arch) and the Downtown DC Holiday Market. Learn the techniques required to capture great nighttime photos of light trails, architecture and photojournalism! Bring your tripod and we’ll address how to use exposure modes, exposure compensation, white balance and ISO to guarantee great results.

PHOTO TOUR- DC CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR PARADE (in-person)
We'll meet in Chinatown to celebrate the Year of the Horse (people born under this sign are independent, impulsive and resistant to authority) while photographing the participants, costumes, lions, dragons and firecracker finale.

PHOTO CHALLENGE (not a contest)- SWEDISH DEATH CLEANING, or, DECLUTTERING & ORGANIZING YOUR PHOTOS (Zoom)
Do we really need to save every photo we take, along with assigning key words and giving star ratings to them?
