Street Photography November: Gaslamp At Night

For our second street photography meetup this month, we’re shaking things up with a new challenge: night street photography! Grab your fast lenses, and let’s capture some memorable shots.

We’ll start by gathering at the Gaslamp street sign in front of Lou and Mickey’s bar for a group photo. With sunset at 4:46pm, we’ll catch the golden light before heading out to explore the Gaslamp Quarter in the dark. You can stick with the group or explore solo—it’s all about discovering your own nighttime perspectives!

Parking: Street parking is available, though you may need to search a bit. For convenient options, try Ace Parking at 6th and K or 614 Market Street, both just $1/hour. Public transportation is also a great alternative!

What to Bring:
Bring a fast lens—ideally something between f/1.4 and f/2.0—and don’t forget comfortable walking shoes. A 35mm or 50mm prime lens is ideal for capturing street scenes. And if you’re interested in experimenting with flash photography, feel free to give it a try!
