Update: March 12 2013 -- Alas, the Big Horn Sheep didn't make an appearence but we had a nice turn out with some great fellowship and fun.  

Update: March 2nd 2013 -- Just got back from a scouting trip to Anza-Borrego State Park. Sadly, there just aren't the wildflowers present as in past years; and it doesn't look like a couple more weeks will help. We did locate small patches here and there (see pictures below).

We ran into dozens of Big Horn Sheep and other intersting photo opportunites, so we will still be heading out March 9th anticipating a fun and rewarding class.

Please consider joining Lee Kirchhevel (trackerleephotography.com) and myself for a half day Nature Photography Workshop Saturday March 9th from 8am to Noon in Anza-Borrego State Park.

Of course, we'll be photographing more than just wildflowers. There will be opportunity for image making of other plants like local cactus, closeup/macro, panoramic landscapes, and perhaps slot canyons. Participants are welcome to join Lee and I in town for lunch afterwards where we can discuss the day's accomplishments.  Lee has a lot of experience with this area and photographing wildflowers, so I'm sure I'll be learning a lot from him myself.

Suggested equipment to bring:

• DSLR with a User's Guide (so we can locate menu settings)
• Wide Angle Lens, Macro or close focus lens, Zoom Lens
• Extension tube for macro (optional)
• Graduated Neutral Density Filter
• Polarizer filter
