Digital Nature Photography for the Eco-Tourist with Bryant Hichwa. Come to the Mayacamas at the height of the wildflower season. Experience the beauty and ruggedness of this preserve. Our in-the-field photoworkshop will include tips for the semi-professional nature photographer as well as fundamentals for the beginner. We'll compare various types of digital cameras, work on close-up shooting techniques and use the instantaneous feedback of digital to constructively critique participants' photos. Please no dogs. Children OK under careful supervision.
