Come join us as we photowalk downtown Sacramento, CA.

Our meeting place will be announced soon.

We'll meet around sundown and wander the streets en masse, shooting the local neon, and whatever turns up.

This will be great! I've been wanting to get up to Sacramento and shoot the neon there for a while.

Sounds like a good time, thanks for the invite!

Looking forward to this. Sacramento has some of the best vintage neon.

What lens do you guys recommend for this type of photowalk?
Hopefully I can get a good use out of my my new 17-40 f/4.0 L...

thomashawk

neon works well with most lenses because there is plenty of light to shoot it with. the 17-40 would work great.

I definitely want to go. Is anyone from Southern California driving up there? I'd love to carpool.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

We're still looking for the right place to meet for this photowalk.

Anyone have a good suggestion?

I'm so bummed that the date changed. I am seeing Sigur Ros on October 3rd, so I will not be able to make it.

Local expert Tom Spaulding has set the bar pretty high already ..

@Nathaniel Perales: I'd totally be down for this.

A dude named Carl commented on Thomas Hawk's post with some suggestions for places to photograph. I took his suggestions and mapped them on a custom Google Map. You can see it all on the blog post at PhotoWalking.org.

I wanna go!

chuck_dyer

I am signed up a can't wait to go. I love shooting at colorful things at night. I will probably use this trip to experiment with slow-sync flash to get creative with the foreground.

This sounds like a lot of fun. I hope to be able to make it!

Sunset will be at 6:45 p.m., so 7 may be a bit on the late side to start. I'll probably be shooting Fall colors that week; have a great walk!.

trevorcarpenter

I think the time was set so that working folks could have enough time to get off work and arrive for the photowalk.

inkvision

I will be there!! I wish I had some fluorescent clothing...

hookjaw

Looking forward to this big time!

What's the deal if the rain picks up...stil on?

trevorcarpenter

Still on, no matter the rain!

It should make for great reflections of neon, and some other fun opportunities too.
