VSCO Photo Walk at Coleman Park

VSCO hosts a golden-hour photo walk at the base of the Rock

In Morro Bay. The photo app VSCO hosts a free group photo walk starting at Coleman Park on Saturday, August 8 from 6 to 8 PM, with free registration on Eventbrite. The timing is the whole idea: the two-hour window lands squarely in golden hour, when the light comes off the water, the Rock holds the last of it, and the stretch between the park and the harbor mouth becomes one of the most photogenic half-miles in California.

Photo walks work on a simple social premise, a group of people who like making pictures wandering the same route, trading angles and app tricks as they go, and this one asks nothing beyond showing up: bring whatever camera you shoot with, phone included, since VSCO’s whole world is phone photography anyway. Between the Rock, the otters, the fleet heading in, and the sandspit light, the subject matter takes care of itself.

Coleman Park sits on Coleman Drive along the harbor route to the Rock, with the beach and the harbor mouth all within frame-hunting distance. Free, all levels welcome.
