First May 2010 Event---Downtown Easton/Riverfronts with Hillcrest Camera Club

[peachhead]

We are doing this as a joint shoot along with Hillcrest Camera Club of Phillipsburg, NJ on Sunday, May 16th.  We will meet in Centre Square (the Circle) and take pix downtown as well as the bridges along the  Lehigh and Delaware river fronts.
If the weather is good, I think we could also have an Early Bird shoot at dawn because the sunrises are spectacular over the Delaware River.  Latecomers might want to hang out and get a good sunset shot along the Lehigh River.

Here is a link to a walking tour of Easton if you want a sneak preview or to scout out photo ops ahead of time:   www.walkingeaston.com  (Thanks to member Gary W for the link).

We will work out meeting times with Hillcrest Camera Club so stay tuned to this thread for more info as it becomes available.  Times will be posted in this first post always.  

Events Committee---Loretta Killian, Sandy Gelatt, Jeff Grim, Rhonda Pagano, Judy Zabrecky

Loretta,

3-rd from the top (bridge) - I like it!

Thanks, Alex!  It is one of my favs too.  Lots of eclectic architecture and street scene photos to be taken in Easton.  Buildings date from the 1700s to modern times.

Loretta, I really like your pictures.  I recently moved to the Easton area (Forks) last fall.  I would love to go on this shoot, but I don't think I'll be available that day.  I really must get out on my own and explore.

I spent my first few years of life in Forks and graduated from Lafayette - the Easton area's got a lot of great sights!

Amber---feel free to visit Easton or Allentown anytime during the month of May and add your photos to our Share Your Images thread.  We allow that because we know some people have work and family obligations those days.

According to the following blog entry, the downtown "metered" parking in Easton is free on Sunday. I would double check by reading the info on the meter to be certain.
