Nature Photography with a Naturalist's Eye
Location: Rock Point. Meet at North Beach, at the far (North) end of the parking lot
Date: May 30, 2019, 6-8:30 pm
Who: Anyone with a camera (any type) over age 12
Leader: Rob Merrifield

Following a brief introduction at the trail head, where we will review basic camera functions, as well as some tips and techniques used in photographing nature, we will share our backgrounds and what we hope to learn from each other. After a short overview of unique natural features of Rock Point, we will explore the forests, cliffs, swamps, and beaches of Rock Point in search of images to capture. Trees, wildflowers, rocks, water, the beach and cliffs, sunset, shapes, patterns, textures, and colors are all fair game.

Artist: Avid outdoor photographer Rob Merrifield has spent nearly 5 decades hiking, paddling, and skiing in many wilderness settings throughout the US as well as Canada, Panama, Kenya, Rwanda, and Ethiopia.
