TX - Galveston: Photowalk - June 26, 2011

[KenJulio]

I had forgotten Father's day is the weekend of the 19th, so I have moved it to the next week, June 26th.

This weekend is the weekend for Juneteeth, so there are some festivities/events going on around the island.

Start early, beat the Sunday crowds.

I'm not familiar with Galveston even though I've been through there a number of times. I'm thinking meeting at the following Starbucks:

Starbucks
102 Kempner
Galveston, TX 77550

Lighting is optional, you're free to bring models, but keep in mind, you have to share! :) We can all be models so we can all feel awkward in front of the lens! Dont let this scare you away!

I am ready i will probably bring the family as i seen a few other people talking about bringing theirs. You picked a peaty good start point ex. it being 7am

I just noticed Sun, Jun 19, 2011, = Father's Day it doesn't matter to me but it might for some people

[KenJulio]

we spend 1/3 of the day sleeping, let's make it 1/4 or even less.

I forgot it was father's day that day :( If there are issues with this, I'll move it the week after.

[zadelstein]

See what others think about Fathers Day, doesn't make any difference to me though.

[KenJulio]

All - I have changed the date for June 26th.

[groovyone]

Should work better for me given the newborn.

According to TimeandDate.com the sunrise will be at 6:22am.
I might try and make it out there a little early and try and get this if anyone else wanted to.

I might try and make it for sunrise. What's a good locale on the island for sunrise?

[KenJulio]

Google Earth is free and you can adjust the hours/date to determine how the sun will rise. If you have a smartphone or tablet, you can purchase Lighttrac and it provides a bit more detail.

[zadelstein]

How can you see that on Google Earth?

[KenJulio]

Google Earth will show the light/shade falling on the area, it's one of the buttons on the toolbar that looks like a clock or calendar. I forgot which one as I dont have my personal laptop at work

Looking like I will make this, and bring the wife and step son with me again. Won't have my 2 kids. I work nights 10PM to 6AM so this is extremely early for me, may need to get somebodies phone number so I can find y'all if I'm late. I don't work Saturdays but I'm a night person not morning person LOL.

I know Juneteenth can get pretty rowdy in Galveston so I looked it up, and it is from June 11th to June 18th. So the big Juneteenth crowds will not be there for this photowalk which is good! Me and the wife may get a hotel room in Galveston for Saturday night.

[ChevydreamZ]

So did we decided whether or not this walk was going to be more geared to lighting?

[zadelstein]

I might head up there early for sunrise as well. Where is a good spot on the island for early morning light?
