VAN BUREN — Join a park ranger for a guided “point and shoot” photography hike at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 8.
The hike will begin at Big Spring, and participants can expect to explore the nearby area for scenic views. Participants should plan to hike approximately one-half mile.
They say the best camera is the one you have with you. For most of us, that means our cellphones. The Big Spring area provides a myriad of photo opportunities including beautiful scenes and wildlife. Learn some useful techniques for turning a quick snap with your phone into the perfect shot.
Participants should come prepared with comfortable walking shoes and appropriate clothing for the weather, including rain gear in case of light rain. In addition, hikers may wish to bring water, sunscreen and insect repellent. In the event of heavy rain or lightning, the hike will be canceled. Make sure to bring your camera phone. This event is free and will be enjoyable for all ages. For more information, call Park Ranger Shaun Heise at 573-323-4806 or shaun_heise@nps.gov.
