March 18, 2024 – Two photo walks will be hosted by Nevada County Camera Club for the public in April to celebrate Photography Month. “We wanted to hold an event for beginning and intermediate photographers to practice and learn new skills as well as meet others interested in photography. And what better way than a pretty evening walk in Nevada City and a morning at Empire Mine State Park in Grass Valley,” stated Rae Lerche, Leader of the photo walks.
“Each photo walk will last about an hour and a half. People should bring their favorite camera including cell phones and favorite lenses. Tripods are recommended for the night walk, but not required. We also recommend people wear sturdy shoes for walking up and down the hills of Nevada City and the State Park. Hats and water may be helpful on a sunny walk,” stated Lerche.
The walks will be held on:
- April 13 – 7:00 pm – Nevada City Night Walk – Meet at Robinson Plaza for a stroll through Nevada City to photograph the nightlife, lights and historic buildings.
- April 27 – 9:30 am – Empire Mine State Park – Meet at the main parking lot nearest the visitor center entrance. $5 entrance fee required.
Photography Month is being celebrated in five northern California counties in April to highlight the importance of photographs in our lives.
