Thursday, May 4 (8:30 am-Noon)
Leader: Liz Guertin 
Members $33; nonmembers $46 
Join Maryland Master Naturalist and award-winning nature photographer Liz Guertin for a journey into nature photography basics:  learning to compose and achieve the best shots possible in the outdoors. All cameras are welcome–including your phone!  Liz will cover everything from exposure & composition to the craft & ethics of nature photography. Our venue for Section A will be the Carderock Recreation Area, along the C&O Canal and the banks of the Potomac, where we will focus on native spring flowers, leaves & ferns unfurling, stands of bright skunk cabbage, and more. Section B’s destination at Brighton Dam in Howard County, MD features flowering azalea bushes as far as the eye can see. We’ll enjoy a spectrum of pinks, whites, reds, ivories and purples with the beautiful Triadelphia Reservoir in the background.  We’ll also keep our eyes open for native spring flowers & birds. Our leader invites you to feel free to bring along sample photographs you’d like to discuss. REGISTER
