SUMMARY:Photography Through the Seasons – Chasing the Unexpected: Summer Wildlife Photography
DESCRIPTION:Photography Through the Seasons – Chasing the Unexpected: Summer Wildlife Photography\n\n\n\nIn the third of our seasonal nature photography workshops\, we move into summer—where things get a little wilder. We’ll focus on environment\, composition\, light\, and those small artistic choices that turn a moment into a photograph worth keeping. \n\n\n\nWildlife will be our main subject\, but we’ll stay flexible. Around here\, you never know what might show up—and we’ll take full advantage of whatever the landscape offers. \n\n\n\nJoin Len Villano\, a man who has spent more hours in the field than most creatures he photographs. He’ll share practical techniques\, field-tested instincts\, and a lifetime’s worth of stories—along with a few lessons learned the hard way—so you can improve not just your images\, but your experience of being out there in the first place.  \n\n\n\nA camera and tripod are recommended. Suitable for ages 18 & up. \n\n\n\nFee: $30 | Members receive 20% Discount  \n\n\n\nAccessibility Considerations: Evening program\, low light\, uneven terrain\, cold temperatures\, outdoor program\, carpooling required\, restrooms not available.  \n\n\n\nDistance: 0.5 – 1 mile \n\n\n\n\nRegister
