Rich Legg writes: “It is time again for Photowalking Utah to make its annual trek to Temple Square in Salt Lake City to photograph the holiday lights on display. This year’s event will again be in two parts. The first part will be a mini-clinic on taking low-light photos held at the Salt Lake City Library. When the one-hour clinic ends, the group will make their way to Temple Square to photograph the incredible holiday lights on display.

Here’s the schedule:

December 17 – 6:30 to 9:00 pm

6:30 pm – Mini-clinic at the Salt Lake City Library (210 E 400 South) 4th floor conference room.
7:35 pm – Clinic concludes. Head downstairs to the TRAX station
7:50 pm – Ride the TRAX train (for free) to Temple Square
8:00 pm – Photography at Temple Square

This year we are adding a bit of giving to the December event. We will be collecting winter clothing to be donated to local organizations that help clothe those in need. Please bring any extra jackets, scarves, hats, etc. that are in good condition to the library. These will be collected and distributed to those less fortunate.

As always, there is absolutely no charge to participate in this event. Photographers of ANY skill level are invited to join in.

Head on over to the event discussion on the Photowalking Utah Flickr page if you have any questions or would simply like to say you’re coming. I hope to see a great group on the 17th.”

“The date has been set for the next photography Mini-Clinic at the Salt Lake City main library. Just in time for taking pictures of your fabulous holiday dinners, the subject is Food Photography. Since I am not much of a food photographer, I am teaming up with my good friend (and awesome food shooter) Nicole Young for this clinic.

In the free 90 minute session, participants will learn techniques for capturing great food images using natural light, strobes and hot-lights. Here are the details:

Date: Thursday October 29th, 2009
Time: 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Location: SLC Main Library – 210 E 400 South, Conf. room #4, 4th floor
Cost: Free!

I am pleased to be able to offer these clinics free-of-charge as a part of Photowalking Utah. Without the support of the Salt Lake City Library and Pictureline, I would not be able to do so. Please help me in thanking the great folks at these organizations for helping the local photographic community.” -Rich Legg
