Photochrome Camera Club

The area is known for its California line cable car contrasting with city skyscrapers, culinary shops and great restaurants. It’s situated approximately between Sacramento and Market streets from north to south, and Font and Kearny streets east to west. Photographs taken both indoors and outdoors are welcomed.

Directions: The best way to get there is by muni. Street car stops are at Montgomery and Embarcadero stations.

Let’s meet at the Crocker Galleria located at 50 Post Street. We decided to meet there at 10:00 on the lower level in front of the coffee shop on the north end (which might be Tulleys). This place is only one block from the Montgomery station. It may also be a good place to meet around 12:00 to have coffee. Don’t forget to photograph the Crocker Galleria since it is an icon in the Financial District.

Come photograph world class dragon boat racing besides cultural performances and other festival activities. The best time of day is probably afternoon due to the orientation of the sun. Treasure Island also offers views of downtown San Francisco and the new eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. You may also want to shoot a few images of Treasure Island Museum, one of the few buildings remaining from the 1939 World Fair. This may also be a last chance to photograph the Historic Naval Chapel built in 1943 of which is scheduled to be torn down during the Treasure Island redevelopment.

If you are driving to the festival you will find plenty of parking with just a short walk to the event. If you prefer to go by bus, take muni 108 to Treasure Island. Food and drink can be purchased in the festival food area.
PicTwo images will be presented at our 10/20/11 meeting.

City College of San Francisco has several structures with good photographic possibilities. The new Multi-Use Building has many features as well as the old Science Building, statues and murals such as the “Song of the Spirit” by Precita Eyes on the front of the Student Union Building. Just stroll around the grounds and you will find many good photographic compositions. Arriving early enables the use of side light to produce accentuated shadows with dramatic effects. So lets get there sometime between 8:00 and 9:00 am. Parking is on the street or in the parking lot for a $3.00 fee.
