Steel Stacks - a photographer’s playground!! This event will be held on Saturday,October 5th from 10:00AM to approximately 1:00PM. 

This outing is a real triple threat. First, we will be visiting the old Bethlehem Steel plant at SteelStacks in Bethlehem. The abandoned structure is a great place for us photographers who love rust, and we can explore and shoot some of the outer buildings that make up the facility as well.

Second, Steel Stacks will be holding their Octoberfest that same weekend, So, in addition to shooting Bethlehem Steel, we can shoot the festivities in the same location. Lots of stuff going on. There will even be weiner dog races! And food stands if you are feeling a bit peckish.

Third, we plan an optional side trip to Saint Michaels Cemetery just a mile or so away. It is an old poorly maintained cemetery on the side of a hill overlooking the city and the steel plant. It’s a fascinating place with many toppled headstones, some of which are in the woods at the top of the hill. 

Logistics: To coordinate carpools and a side trip for those who want to go to the cemetery, you will need to tell me if you are coming, and if you want to carpool. If you want to carpool, you need to tell me if you plan to join us in the cemetery, so I can try to organize the carpools accordingly. Be aware that the hills at the cemetery are pretty steep in spots. Please, let me know no later than four days in advance of the outing. The carpool will be from the Giant parking lot next to the Panera in Exton across Swedesford Rd from Exton Square Mall. We will leave at 8:30 AM. Look for the car with the tripod on the roof.
