March 6 - 8, 2009, Friday through Sunday – Everglades National Park,

Car pool will leave Orlando 7:00 AM, Friday, and be back in Orlando between 6 and 7:00 PM, Sunday.

 

We begin our photography session on Friday afternoon at the Royal Palm Visitor Center’s Anhinga Trail. In the early evening we check in at the hotel. Then, supper followed by a slide lecture on bird photography. Saturday is an event-packed day with short hikes into the Everglades and a boat trip into the mangroves to photograph alligators  and other wildlife, and back to the hotel for the night. Sunday starts with a sunrise back at the Anhinga Trail. On our way home to Orlando we stop off for a few hours at a favorite spot for Burrowing Owls.

                       

The necessary equipment for this trip (in addition to the normal photo bag) is a sturdy tripod and a lens of at least 300mm focal length (the longer the better of course). There will be a pre-trip meeting at 7:30 PM, Wednesday, March 4, to discuss equipment and details. Fee: $425 (includes all fees and lodging, but does not include meals). Call Milton Heiberg at 407-658-4869 for more information and to register. See registration form.

 

April 12, 2008, Saturday – Orlando Wetlands, 6:15 AM

        (at Wetlands Park for sunrise at 7:05) – Noon.

 

We will do some landscape photography of the sunrise with water reflections at one of the most beautiful scenic locations in Central Florida. The rest of the morning will be spent photographing flying and perched birds, as well as other wildlife. Bring a tripod and a 300mm or longer lens (a tele-extender would help). The many gray sun-bleached tree branches make interesting and photogenic perches for our avian subjects. Bring bug spray if bugs like you. Wear comfortable walking shoes. We will be walking about 2-1/2 miles.

We will meet at 6:15 AM (at the Wetlands Park for sunrise at 7:05 AM). Fee $65.
