It’s one thing to get out in nature, and it’s another thing to capture some of the beauty in a photograph. Through four sessions, professional photographer and our Grouse Mountain Wildlife Manager, Devin Manky, will provide important technical and artistic “pointers” and take a small group to desirable locations at which to capture natural scenes.
Time: 6-8pm for the August sessions; 7-9pm for the September session.
