There is incredible beauty in nature, from magnificent birds, flowers and landscapes to the tiniest insects. Join photographers Denise Hackert-Stoner and Scott Stoner for an afternoon photography workshop.
Suitable for all levels of photographers with a variety of equipment, this program covers the basic elements of nature photography including light, composition, and focus, and how they apply to capturing the landscapes, wildlife, and flowers of the Albany Pine Bush. Weather permitting, we will hike to view and photograph wild blue lupine in bloom and catch a glimpse of the endangered Karner blue butterfly. This program will meet inside the Discovery Center.
