DECEMBER 6, 2025 - FIELD TRIP TO CALTECH - ARCHITECTURE

On Saturday, December 6, 2025, Lancaster Photography Association will practice our Architecture photography skills with a field trip to Caltech in Pasadena. It is known for its blend of historic Mediterranean Revival buildings, modern scientific facilities, and beautifully manicured courtyards. There are elegant arches and colonnades, reflecting pools, courtyards, and fountains, geometric facades and bold contemporary forms all available on the Caltech campus. 

You will be able to sharpen your architectural photography skills - from capturing grand exteriors to discovering subtle architectural details. Make sure to look for light and shadow, vanishing points, patterns, and compelling angles highlighting form and structure.

We also hope to have time before sunset to go to the Colorado Street Bridge area after Caltech. Then we will grab some dinner and head home. 

The theme for our next competition in January is Architecture, so this will give you some great options!

Bring: Your camera and wide-angle lens. A polarizer will help manage reflections. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes, and bring a hat, sunscreen, and water.

Time: 1:00 p.m.

Place: Meet on Del Mar Boulevard at the Neuroscience Research Building (corner of Wilson Ave and Del Mar Blvd)

Parking: North Wilson Parking structure at 341 S. WIlson Ave, Pasadena, CA - Free on weekends
