DESCRIPTION:Nestled on the edge of the Pine Barrens in New Jersey\, is an awesome junk yard full of vintage automobiles\, memorabilia\, an old diner\, dinosaurs and more! Sadly\, Flemings has been closed to photographers and workshops due to past destruction of property. I had the privilege of spending a few hours touring the place while in the area-and immediately fell in love with the rows and rows and acres and acres of rusty\, abandoned – yet very photogenic things. \n\n\n\nThankfully\, Flemings puts on a wonderful event that grows year after year-and this is our opportunity to to wander the place and photograph all this salvage yard holds. The Flemings Pumpkin Run is an all day event\, running from 8-4pm. Harry Fleming\, the owner\, describes the event as “a gathering of enthusiasts from all aspects of mechanical machinery. The vehicles range from\, but not limited to\, Antiques\, Classics\, Street Rods\, Lead Sleds\, Rat Rods\, Muscle cars\, Motorcycles\, Military\, and Vintage Race cars. Hit & Miss Engines\, Steam and Gas powered tractors\, Farm Equipment\, and Semis can be seen. Other attractions include a restored diner & sawmill\, replica gas & train station\, along with two vintage race car museums.” Sounds like an awesome event to me! \n\n\n\nSetting this up as a Photo Walk\, which means that I will be photographing as well as assisting participants as we wander the grounds in search of creative images. A presentation will be given via Zoom prior to the event to give a brief tour of the salvage yard and what you can expect. We will discuss gear choice\, and creative composition\, exposure settings and more! You can wander around as part of the group\, or move about on your own\, and meet up with the group throughout the day. Vendors will be there to keep us nourished\, although\, the lines can be quite long. \n\n\n\n\n\nTransportation\, lodging\, food and entrance fee of approximately $10 not included in photo walk price \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://valeriehoffmanphotography.com/trek/flemings-pumpkin-run-photo-trek/ CATEGORIES:Photo Walk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://valeriehoffmanphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/P9121114.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220205T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220205T133000 DTSTAMP:20260425T142828 CREATED:20220122T001554Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220127T002855Z UID:7402-1644053400-1644067800@valeriehoffmanphotography.com SUMMARY:Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles DESCRIPTION:The Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles houses dozens of automobiles\, trucks\, and motorcycles that were manufactured right here in Pennsylvania while the industry was still in its infancy. Prior to that time\, the region produced multitudes of horse-drawn vehicles\, of which many examples can be found at the Museum. \nWe’ll take a photographic tour through both the auto museum\, and the recently opened Carriage Museum. \n  \nIf you are looking for a fun way to spend several hours learning to creatively photograph a huge variety of historic cars\, trucks\, bicycles\, carriages\, wagons and more-then this trek is for you! A highlight will be the old Sunoco station and Fegley’s old-time diner. \nYou will learn how to photograph in low light situations\, use fill and bounce flash to supplement the lighting\, and shoot bracketed images that can later be combined into a single High Dynamic Range image. We will also cover how to use a variety of different lenses and techniques to create unique images you will be thrilled to show off and hang on your wall! \n  \nThis trek is for photographers of all skill levels. Hands-on instruction will be given throughout the workshop. A tripod is a necessity. Beyond that\, no special gear is required. Polarizer and lens hoods for each lens used is recommended. You’ll need plenty of space on your memory cards for all the creative images you’ll be capturing! \nThere will be a brief pre-trek class via zoom on February 3rd\, to go over final details and review images of what can be expected and tons of tips to get you started. An email will be sent to participants approximately one week prior to the event with all the details. \nAdmission to the museum is included in the price!  There is a minimum number of participants needed to run this trek. Participants will meet at the museum \nThe Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles is located at 85 S Walnut St\, Boyertown\, PA \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  URL:https://valeriehoffmanphotography.com/trek/boyertown-museum-of-historic-vehicles/ LOCATION:Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles CATEGORIES:Photo Walk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://valeriehoffmanphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/674A4576_5_4_3.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210911T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210911T230000 DTSTAMP:20260425T142828 CREATED:20210817T030127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210909T162631Z UID:6805-1631383200-1631401200@valeriehoffmanphotography.com SUMMARY:9/11 Tribute In Lights Photo Walk DESCRIPTION:The Tribute in Light is an art installation created in remembrance of the September 11 attacks. It consists of 88 vertical searchlights arranged in two columns of light to represent the Twin Towers. It stands six blocks south of the World Trade Center on top of the Battery Parking Garage in New York City. Tribute in Light began as a temporary commemoration of the attacks in early 2002\, but it became an annual event\, currently produced on September 11 by the Municipal Art Society of New York. \n\n\n\nOn clear nights\, the lights can be seen from over 60 miles (97 km) away\, visible in all of New York City and most of suburban Northern New Jersey and Long Island.  Each year\, about 30 technicians\, electricians\, and stagehands work for about ten days to install the lights. During a testing phase of several days\, observers in Brooklyn\, Staten Island\, New Jersey\, and uptown Manhattan help make sure that the beams are adjusted accurately. The lights shine from dusk to dawn. \n\n\n\nMy first experience of seeing the Tribute lights shining over Manhattan was in 2020. It was awe-inspiring and very moving. Most of us remember where we were when we first heard about the attacks\, and we sat speechless\, glued to the television for days and weeks as rescue efforts took place around the clock. Never forget. What a wonderful way to honor all those who lost their lives and those who worked so hard to rescue them-than to witness the Tribute In Light in person. \n\n\n\nIf you love capturing the beauty of cityscapes at night-or would love to learn\, then join us for this breathtaking photographic event. \n\n\n\nWe will photograph the skyline from several locations in New Jersey. We will likely also visit the Teardrop Memorial-which is also a 9/11 tribute nearby. The group will meet by 6pm to be on location to photograph the New York skyline during the golden hours before during and after sunset. We will continue to shoot through blue hour into dark. Specific details for where we meet and photograph from will be sent to participants after registration. \n\n\n\nInstruction will be shared throughout the event on how to expose for tricky lighting conditions-especially as it gets dark\, when camera meters are no longer able to give accurate exposure readings. Instruction will also be given on composition\, creative long exposures\, and how best to convey such a moving and meaningful scene. Event will be great for beginners as well as more advanced enthusiasts. Participants should come with a decent understanding of their camera gear\, and be comfortable with changing basic settings-especially in darker environments. An informational email\, as well as Zoom meeting will be held prior to the Photo Walk. \n\n\n\nRegistration will be limited and will likely fill fast. Don’t wait to sign up to join us for this inaugural event!
