  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

  • Running Routes from Yates
    Running & Hiking Routes Out of Yates (plus a few bonus routes) Many of the following routes are a kilometer one side or the other of 10K, but many can also be shortened or extended as you desire. I welcome your questions and clarifications: [email protected] (Tom Sherman, 7-7044) The convention in DC is that walkers, runners and cyclists stay to the right on paths and trails, passing on the left; make your life easier and stay to the right. Another convention in DC is for motorists to run you over, so please run with caution, without headphones, and never run in front of a driver that you have not make eye contact with. If passing someone closely on the left, especially someone elderly, it is good form to announce “on your left” even as a runner. Do not feel required to run out of the Yates Field House, for many of the runs described below may proceed through your neighborhood, in which case, join the route from there. Another great strategy is to use GUTS bus routes and Metro to take you to a destination from which you can run home. This is a great way to learn the city and to see areas otherwise too far to run through as a loop.

It extends from Glover Archbold Park on the west to North Capitol Street on the east. Its northern boundary is formed by Whitehaven Parkway west of Rock Creek, and by Connecticut Avenue, U Street, and Florida Avenue east of Rock Creek. The southern boundary is formed by the Potomac River, the Central Employment Area, and New York Avenue (east of 7th Street). These boundaries are shown on the Map at left.
