The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

Advance your photography skills and knowledge of the natural calendar during adventures in the field with a pro‑photographer and a staff naturalist. This workshop is for serious amateur photographers. Each session focuses on a particular subject and photographic technique related to the current season.
Join us in the field this spring as we point out ephemeral wildflowers and their tiny pollinators, while providing instruction on macro techniques. Familiarize yourself with the mental checklist of how to best represent a photo subject in terms of its environmental context, composition, exposure and use of natural lighting.
Requirements for attendees: • DSLR (preferred) or SLR (film/analog) camera body with manual exposure capability • Any lenses owned (e.g. wide, telephoto, macro, etc.) • Tripod (able to carry during our hike) • Ability to operate your camera in manual mode • Boots or shoes that can get wet or muddy
Meet and park at Trails Parking lot.
This program is held completely outdoors. Please dress for the weather and wear shoes that can get wet and muddy. If inclement weather occurs, participants can call the programming hotline at 847‑968‑3113 one hour prior to the class for an update and or reschedule information.
