We've got you covered! Tamron will be bringing a variety of great lenses for you to use during the workshop. Bus transportation means you can take a nap on the way down!And Dan's Camera City instructors will be right there with you for hands-on guidance and feedback every step of the way.DRESS WARMLY, IN LAYERS for this photo outing. We'll be standing outside on a river in November around sunrise. Wool socks and insulated boots are a good idea. Hand warmers in your pockets can keep your fingers in good shape to operate your camera. You can always go back to the bus to warm up, but you don't want to miss time photographing!Gear to consider:Long telephoto lens - the longer, the better. 400-500mm is not unreasonable for this outing. 600mm or more is ideal!Tripod or monopod - those big lenses can get heavy. The perfect tripod for this outing would be one that goes higher than eye level without raising the center column and has a gimbal style head. We would not recommend a pistol grip, pan, or 3 way head - those will make it more difficult to track the eagles in flight.Extra batteries kept in your inside coat pocket - cold weather is hard on batteries.Agenda🕑: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM10/31 Class at Dan's Camera City🕑: 05:00 AM - 07:00 AM10/6 - Bus departs from Dan's Camera City to Conowingo Dam (rain date 11/13)🕑: 07:00 AM - 11:00 AMPhoto workshop on location🕑: 11:00 AM - 01:00 PMBus return trip to Dan's Camera City - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/allentown/photographing-the-bald-eagles-of-conowingo-dam/100002002665036033 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, workshops, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Dan's Camera City - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 172.34, max: 172.34, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Allentown - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: Dan's Camera City - **lat**: 40.61743 - **long**: -75.496351 - **full address**: Dan's Camera City, 1439 West Fairmont Street, Allentown, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Photographing the Bald Eagles of Conowingo Dam - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/8a672fd831dbee3c56b57f9513f8229ece39cf570767f9b715a2c354e7af7261-rimg-w1200-h600-dc6888a8-gmir.jpg?v=1790905565 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Photographing the Bald Eagles of Conowingo Dam being held? - **A:** Photographing the Bald Eagles of Conowingo Dam takes place on Sat, 31 Oct, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sat, 31 Oct, 2026 at 03:30 pm at Dan's Camera City, 1439 West Fairmont Street, Allentown, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Photographing the Bald Eagles of Conowingo Dam? - **A:** Photographing the Bald Eagles of Conowingo Dam is organized by Dan's Camera City. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
