About This Walk
Join us in Historic Copperton Utah (near Salt Lake City) to photograph the really cool cars in beautiful Copperton Park and some Historic Copperton Utah sites.
We will meet at the historic “Utah Copper Company Community Park” sign at the northwest corner of the park. We will end the walk just before 12 noon near the food trucks (southwest corner of park) to beat the rush if you choose to have lunch there.
We will wander the park looking for cool cars and art to photograph. This is your chance to make some really cool artistic automotive photos, get some fun photos of the kustom art pieces that will be auctioned and even some people photography. Optionally photograph the old Post Office, an old row of historic homes and the St. Paul Methodist Church. Please respect private property and privacy of the owners when photographing homes.
All skill levels and camera types are welcome. I will be shooting with both my smartphone and mirrorless full size camera. Tripods are not necessary. For lenses, any should work: fisheye, wide angle, mid range and telephoto zooms up to 200mm should be good.
Copperton was established in 1926 by the Utah Copper Company as a housing and “model city” for its employees. It was intended to be a “showplace for company-subsidized family life”. Copperton is the only remaining mining town for the Bingham Canyon “Kennecott Copper” Mine. Much of Copperton is included in the Copperton Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Copperton Park aka “Utah Copper Company Community Park” was established in 1927.
The Kulture Krash Car Show is a Halloween-themed car show and kustom art auction held annually in October in Copperton Park. Kulture Krash features Rat Fink style artists. The show benefits the Angel’s Hands Foundation, a all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to improve the quality of life for individuals living with rare and undiagnosed medical conditions in Utah.
