Night-Sky Landscapes at Sunset + Moonrise in Central Park
Date: Saturday, August 13th, 2022
Start Point: Central Park, East 90th + 5th Avenue entrance, just inside on the north set of benches (turn right upon entering)
Start Time: 7:15 p.m.
Ideal Finish time: 10:30 p.m.
Recommended Gear: tripod, headlamp or flashlight.
*Rain cancels this walk, although it’s not in forecast at the time of this listing.
Join photographers Stan Honda and Lee Uehara in this unique way to photograph the city. They’ll share their knowledge and set-ups for taking those night photos you’ve always wanted to try snapping. This, is however, more of Photo Walk + Portable Picnic, so it’s B.Y.O.Snacks!
Total walking will be 1 mile to 1.5 miles as we’ll walk around the Jackie Onassis Reservoir to capture first the sunset and then the moonrise. Folks are welcome to exit Central Park any way they wish after photographing the moonrise, which is on the west side of the park.
ALL levels are welcome; more the merrier!
