Hoover-Mason Trestle in Bethlehem, PA

Twilight at the Hoover Mason Trestle

Coming in August — Join us on the Hoover-Mason Trestle, a raised walkway four stories above ground level that lets you get up close to the Bethlehem Steel stacks & blast furnaces.

We'll start before sunset, exploring the towering structures of the old Steel Stacks along with some of the human-scale details you can only see from this unique vantage point. We'll discuss photo techniques and compositional ideas to create images that tell the story of the place and the people who worked here.

We'll shoot through golden hour, then at dusk we can take advantage of the beautiful lights on the Steel Stacks and learn how to blend them with the fading daylight, for images that juxtapose the old and the new.
