The Art of Noticing Photo Walk

August 12, 6:30pm, Discovery Park, 2-3 miles, 200ft of gain, Easy

Engage with creation from a different perspective and join us for a photo walk! Bring your camera and enjoy a slow meander through Discovery Park to notice the beauty in our own backyard, capturing what we notice in a photo (or a few) along the way.

We'll cover the basics of photo composition and then set out on a meditative photo walk where we tune in to the beauty around us: from the delicate textures of a sunlit leaf to the majestic grandeur of distant mountain peaks. Practice noticing "something" of beauty and hone your camera skills to capture that beauty to share with others. 

We'll schedule a part two of this trip on August 19th (the following week) where we'll meet up at a brewery (or another location, TBD) to share our pictures and talk about what was beautiful and meaningful. 

All participants should have a camera of some sort! It could be a phone, a DSLR, GoPro, iPad, but participants should have some way to capture images. 

Meet your Leader: Chris

He hopes to go snowboarding in Japan this winter as well as climb Mount Olympus. Chris enjoys getting to know people by sharing activities such as hiking as there’s usually lots of time to ask questions and tell stories with each other!
