Best Field Practices for Photography: In-Field Workshop

January 7- Saturday, 8:00 AM- Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area, Photography Workshop

Registration fee: $50/member, $100/non-member.*

Trip difficulty: Easy, >1 mile on flat dirt paths. Restrooms (port-a-potties) available. No water available. Little to no shade available. This trip will require carpooling, so full vaccination against COVID-19 required.

Take off your blinders, open your eyes, and tune in your ears. Whenever we explore the natural world, we are traipsing over, around, and through the homes of countless creatures, large and small. But, how do we snap spectacular wildlife images while minimizing damage? Join naturalist photographers Steve Vaughan and Ian Adrian on a guided birding and photography trip to Whitewater Draw. At this renowned wildlife refuge, we will likely encounter such raptors as northern harriers and hawks, numerous duck species and, Whitewater’s crown jewels, a generous population of large, raucous sandhill cranes. While observing these incredible species, we will provide expert advice on maximizing the experience while maintaining utmost respect for the habitat and creatures who call it home.

Leaders: Steve Vaughan and Ian Adrian
