November 21st, 2015 – Field Trip to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor

Baltimore’s picturesque Inner Harbor, located in the heart of Baltimore’s Downtown District, has served Maryland as a sea port since the sixteen hundreds. Just a few of the photographic opportunities are: the harbor with its boats and ships of all types, including the sailing warship USS Constellation and the submarine USS Torsk and two other historic ships ($11.00 admission for one ship, $18 for all four); views of downtown as seen from the “Top of the World Trade Center ($6.00 admission); lights and shops of Harborplace Mall; and skyline of downtown Baltimore. The national Aquarium is also a major attraction, but rather expensive, with an admission price of $39.95 for adults. For additional information just google “Baltimore Inner Harbor.”

We are planning on leaving for Baltimore at around 12 p.m. (noon), allowing about three hours of independent shooting. At 4:30 p.m., we are going to gather at the Visitor Center and then walk over to Federal Hill Park. At sunset (4:50 p.m.) the park affords a panoramic view of the Inner Harbor with the tall buildings of downtown Baltimore in the background. After the shoot, we’ll have dinner at a restaurant within the Inner Harbor area.
