About this event
There are few sights more spectacular than a sunrise on Otsego Lake! Take a walk behind Fenimore Art Museum with photographer and museum staff member Kevin Gray as he provides tips on composition, light and shadow, camera techniques and more while the sun rises above the lake. We will explore landscape and nature photography with the goal of sending you home with some fantastic images.
Please bring any type of camera you want (DSLRs or point and shoot cameras recommended, although cell phone cameras can be used too), lenses, and consider a tripod if you have one. Wear comfortable shoes for walking and come dressed for the weather (we reserve the right to cancel if heavy rains are forecast, with refunds provided).

Nestled on the western shore of Otsego Lake, housed in an elegant 1930s neo-Georgian mansion, the Fenimore Art Museum presents a perspective on the heritage and history of America through art.
The beauty of the museum setting is matched by the quality of the collections it houses, including some of the nation’s finest examples of American landscape, history and genre paintings, American folk art, photography and American Indian art.
William Sidney Mount, Thomas Cole, Gilbert Stuart, Benjamin West, E.L. Henry, Eastman Johnson, Thomas Waterman, John Wesley Jarvis, Grandma Moses and Ralph Fasanella are all represented in the museum’s holdings.
The Fenimore Art Museum is dedicated to integrating history with art history and including under-appreciated genres, primarily American folk art and American Indian art, in a broad and progressive American canon. The Fenimore Art Museum seeks to honor the extraordinary ability of ordinary people to shape American culture.
