Griffith Park Afternoon Hike & Night Photography

Griffith Park Afternoon Hike & Night Photography

Sat, Oct 24, 10:30 PM
From Photography Meet Up OC
4.9

Let's spend a fall afternoon hiking and exploring **Griffith Park**, followed by sunset views and night photography! We'll start at the Bird Sanctuary across from the Greek Theatre and hike approximately **3.5 miles** through the park, stopping at several viewpoints along the way for photos and to enjoy the scenery. This is **not a fast-paced fitness hike**. We'll take our time, enjoy the trail, and stop for photos of Downtown LA, Griffith Observatory, and the surrounding landscape from various vantage points. We'll time our hike so we can enjoy **sunset from the trails**, then continue toward Griffith Observatory as the city lights come on. We'll eventually make our way to Griffith Observatory, where we'll spend some time exploring and doing **night photography** before heading home. You don't need to be a photographer to join us. Come for the hike, the sunset, the views, the photography, or just to hang out! * **Parking** Parking at the **Greek Theatre** is free when there are no scheduled events. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/ntVQvwrJsgHgMzHp7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ntVQvwrJsgHgMzHp7) * **Where to Meet** We'll meet near the restroom at the beginning of the trail by the **Bird Sanctuary**, across from the Greek Theatre parking area. Watch for traffic when you cross the street. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/EUNYUmhYmehFc7Cu5](https://maps.app.goo.gl/EUNYUmhYmehFc7Cu5) * **Tentative Plan** 3:30 — Meet & greet 3:45 — Start hiking 4:30 — Arrive at [Dante's View](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zmKqeZQHTSUz484X6) 5:00 — Arrive at [Trails Peak](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gQ7BHcAF97yKUEuf7) 5:30 — Arrive at the [vista point](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xae4hAEp7MPuqmTYA) for golden/blue hour photos 6:06 — Sunset 7:00 — Arrive at [Griffith Observatory](https://maps.app.goo.gl/z3C54Db97EbDdnQx8) & explore 8:30 — Head home *Times are approximate. We'll adjust our pace depending on the group and how often we stop along the way.* *We'll spend about an hour at the Observatory so everyone has time to explore before heading to lunch.* * **What to Bring** Shoes with good traction A jacket or a sweater Flashlight or headlamp — **we'll be hiking after sunset** Sun protection Plenty of water Food/snacks — we'll eat on the trail Camera or phone if you'd like to take photos **Long lens (70mm+)** — great for distant views, compressed landscapes, and shots of Griffith Observatory from the trails (the flyer photo was taken at 200mm) **Wide-angle lens** — useful for close-up/exterior shots around Griffith Observatory Tripod * **Release of Liability** Photography and all outings are rewarding and pleasant activities, but there are common dangers you should be aware of including personal injuries and property damages.
