Basics of Outdoor Photography in Bohemia Ecological Preserve

05/31/2025 05:00 AM - 08:00 PM PT

Description

Join volunteer docents Carl, Tracy and Paloma for a photo exploration of the beautiful Bohemia Ecological Preserve! We’ll hike on trails through native coastal prairies and mixed conifer forests while covering the basics of outdoor photography using your smart phone, pocket camera, or DLSR. On this family-friendly hike, we will explore the beauty of the preserve and engage all five senses to identify wildflowers, marvel at the fullness of the creek, and listen and look for birds and other wildlife.

At the end of the hike we’ll send a link to upload and share your favorite pictures from the day!
