Every December, Fifth Avenue becomes one long light show: the storefront displays, the Rockefeller Center tree, Radio City Music Hall, and strings of lights you can melt into glowing bokeh.
Award-winning author and photographer Tony Northrup walks the avenue with you, teaching exposure for lights against the night sky, the hand-holding technique that catches blinking displays fully lit, and bokeh portraits with our seasonally dressed model. Tony will also make a portrait of you, if you want one.
When: Tuesday, December 8, 4:00-7:00 pm
Where: Midtown Manhattan. We start near the southeast corner of Central Park and walk Fifth Avenue south to Radio City Music Hall. Tony emails ticket holders the exact meeting spot and a map the day before.
Group size: Up to 15 photographers. All skill levels welcome.
Bring: Any camera, from phone to pro (a fast f/1.8-f/2.8 prime is ideal for bokeh portraits), a charged battery, an empty memory card, and warm layers. No tripod needed.
Weather: We shoot in light rain or snow - the lights look even better. If the weather is truly miserable, we reschedule, and anyone who can't make the new date gets a full refund.
