CHINATOWN AND THE OLD BARBARY COAST


On this Photography Tour we will explore the colorful alleys and streets of Chinatown, home to it's unique family groups, community organizations, sewing shops, barbers shops and various places of worship. You'll have the chance to photograph the people that dwell here as well as their shops where they sell medicinal herbs, gold jewelry, and vegetables. We'll also visit other downtown locations like the Trans-America building with it's redwood grove nearby, and some old Barbary Coast landmarks.


During this tour we will cover the basics of composition, lighting, depth of field and shutter speed priorities. There will also be an emphasis on street photography. We will explore what's involved both morally and aesthetically when shooting candid shots of both urban subjects and people. Aspects of photojournalism techniques will be covered as well.
