Donut Street Meet – Santa Monica Sunset
Donut Street Meet – @SANTA MONICA PIER (sunset)
MEET RECAP
Who we are:
We are a friendly Landscape Street meet. We gather like-minded artists in a place to take epic shots of local landscapes. We provide donuts and other snacks.
We meet at the ideal time of blue hour at sunrise or sunset and we don’t control the weather.
After the meet, we REPOST your best shots on our Instagram feed @donut.street.meet. We don’t edit or crop your shots. Everyone will get reposted!
We want to give everyone the opportunity to show their artistic skills and show the audience the amazing variety of shots that can be produced by creative people all in the same spot. We never get the same shot!
Beginners are welcome – we can help you plan and take the best shots if you just ask one of us!
EVENT
We had an amazing turnout of some great local photographers. 60 signed up and about 40 made it. All 100 donut holes were eaten.
Long Exposure Shots, portraits, and light painting was done. There were lots of people at the beach area. It was difficult to get a clean shot, but that is what we do.
PARKING
The best place to park was in one of the parking garages on the upper part of Santa Monica, however, in this busy time on a Sunday at Sunset, parking was very difficult.
Some were able to park in the large parking lot for $10.
