Photo Walk Description

Weather is not an issue for me but if it’s pouring we will reschedule for the next day. We will be walking the area around the lagoons. I always bring a tripod, wide angle and zoom lens since there may be birds in the area. Waterproof shoes are a good idea as the ground may be wet.

    Hello Barry,

    This will be my first photo walk and my first time at the lagoons. Any insights you have about that area would be great. Some of my work can be found here http://500px.com/michaeljlawson .

    Thanks,
    Michael

      Michael,
      Nice pix on 550px. This is lagoon area with many trees and opportunities to get close the
      the water. There may be fisherman there, egrets, and some other waterfowl. I always
      bring a tripod.

    looking forward to Saturday. Weather forecast is cool but clear. You will be able to post your photos to share with members of the walk on Flickr. The group name is Winnetka 2011 Photo Walk. You have to have to be a member of Flickr or have a yahoo ID to join. See you Saturday.

    Wow, Thanks Barry. You all joked that the shot(s) I took lying in the grass would be the ones. I really enjoyed the experience of being out with other photographers, that’s not normal for me. Through the Photo Walk post I also have been introduced to some other photographers in my area, as well as a group out of Dekalb that meets occasionally. The experience was fun, I learned some things about my photography I need to work on, and I met some great people. What more can you ask for!
