Central Park Photo Tour

Sightseeing  :  United States  :  New York  :  New York  :  Photography Tours

This scenic walking tour hits the most photogenic spots in Central Park. Your guide will show you around and take pictures right along with you. This isn't a photography class but you will leave with great shots of the park and its surroundings. All levels of skill and types of cameras are welcome. Yes, even you and your cell phone camera. Get your camera ready! After a brief meet and greet with the group, head into the park at the beautiful 90th Street entrance. Hop up onto the JKO Reservoir to see one of the most beautiful views from a running track you'll ever get a picture of. From there head to the West Side via the Great Lawn, passing Turtle Pond and Belvedere Castle on the way. Take some time to for pictures and then pop out onto Central Park West to see the American Museum of Natural History. Your guide will lead you to The Dakota and Strawberry Fields. Next, take shots of Bow Bridge and The Lake followed by Bethesda Terrace and The Mall with its stand of American Elms. Then, swing up the East side of the park, pass Alice In Wonderland, and wind up in front of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

It's not the whole park, by a long shot, but to do much more you really need another day in the park. This tour may last longer than three hours depending on how much stopping is done and the overall walking speed of those on the tour. Comfortable walking shoes and seasonable clothing is recommended since this is an outdoor walking tour. It's also rain or shine. You won't melt. Neither will your camera.
