    Hampden's Miracle on 34th Street

    in Baltimore

    Website: https://baltimore.org/event/miracle-on-34th-street/

    The best CHRISTMAS LIGHTS in Baltimore!

    We will meet up at Chestnut and 34th Street. Based on Mike Washington’s experience, the best lighting, easiest neighborhood parking, and minimum crowds are between 4:00 pm and 6:00pm.

    The decorations turn on at dark and will remain lighted until 10:00 pm. Park your car on the neighborhood streets (see the website for a map) and walk to the meeting spot. We plan to meet at the “Rocket to Venus” bar/restaurant (which is near the meeting spot).

    Photography: Mike Washington and John Schuster will be there. We will walk the block with the amazing decorations – truly an epic display. Lots of opportunities for crowded street photography. Members will be happy to assist newer photographers. There are no restrictions on camera gear as long as you don’t interfere with the visitors – a tripod can be useful. There is no admission fee.

    Please sign up so we have an idea of who will be attending. Families and guests are welcome.

    After the outing, upload your 5 best images to share in our monthly slideshow and on our website! Rename files as:

    10 Habits for Creative Photography.  A special live ZOOM session with Grant Ordelheide

    Let’s start the new year talking about good habits! 

    This presentation focuses on 10 habits that will be beneficial to photographers of all skill levels. These habits help to hone in your skills, promote creativity, and grow as a photographer.  It touches on creative composition, technical precision, and big picture goals. This is a broad topic but speaks to advanced and beginners alike. 

    Grant Ordelheide is a Montana-based outdoor and adventure photographer and is a photography trip lead for Backcountry Journeys. Growing up in the Colorado Rockies instilled in him a profound reverence for the landscape. Grant’s love of nature and wild places preceded his love of photography, which emerged as a natural extension and by-product of his adventures in the mountains as an avid backpacker, climber, and snowboarder. 

    Following his passion, Grant earned a Bachelor’s degree in photography with an emphasis in business from Pacific Union College. In 2016, Grant was a recipient of the Art Wolfe Next Generation Photographer Grant organized by Luminous Landscape. His work has won numerous awards, including one of the top honors in the U.S. Landscape Photographer of the Year contest. His photos have been published in National Geographic Traveler, Backpacker, Outside, Climbing, The New York Times, The Yosemite Journal, and many other print and online publications. Grant’s fine art prints hang in gallery, corporate, and private collections across the country.  For several years, Grant has shared his eye, expertise, and contagious passion for photographing the outdoors, teaching photography workshops throughout the country. Grant currently resides in Columbia Falls, Montana with his wife Alexis.
