Popular Photo Locations

• From the base of the stairs beside the Broad Street Bridge, the glass of the Blue Cross Arena provides a wonderful mirror image of the city street and sky above.
  

• Look North from the road circling the reservoir at Cobbs Hill Park. A gap in the trees provides what is probably the best open view of our city skyline. Also of note are the The Water Towers - beautiful Graffiti in the woods behind the park.
  

• Views of the city from the Ford Street Bridge are well worth capturing at night, with the city lights reflected in the Genesee River.
  

• Mt. Hope Cemetery - tombstones, landscape (kames, kettles, eskers), trees, and shrubbery.
  

• Train Spotting - get into the game of photographing trains and related features

2008-02-16 11:11:25   Open Critique opportunity for Upstate New York photographers.

Every 1st Thursday of the month, Booksmart Studio holds an open critique session for photographers. There is no charge for the open critiques, just bring 2-4 of your own photographs and put them on the wall. There is no size limitation of the work you can hang on the walls.

Open critique runs from 7:00-9:00 PM and for every skill level. We divide the time equally so everyone will receive feedback from the open critique group. Discussions include visual, conceptual aspects, and technical issues within photography.
