Description

Wildflower Photography Workshop & Guided Ecology
Learn Culture, Nature & Photography in Peak Season of Desert Wildflowers

Join us for NATURE, CULTURE & PHOTOGRAPHY in Borrego Springs and enjoy the peak wildflower season!

This evening-and-night experience is designed to give you hands on shooting tips and techniques to improve your photography in the following areas: macro, landscape, long exposure, light painting, and celestial capture.

Discussions will include the meaning of landscape and ecology, sense of place, wildflower facts, photo exposure settings, remote operation, and long-exposure techniques. Designed for intermediate- and basic-level photographers who have knowledge of manual exposure modes.

For a full photography experience, bring: sturdy tripod, remote (preferably wired, not wireless), fast memory card, extra battery, wide-angle f/2.8-or-better lens, a recent-model DSLR, any telephoto lens, car charger, and a red light /flash light. Camera gear and rentals are available from George's Camera, with two convenient locations in San Diego. www.georgescamera.com

This will be a two-part experience: wildflowers, and then night shooting. We will all meet for a dinner break / talk in between. You must pay for your meal. Arrive early to account for visitor traffic.
