Education and outreach project manager Tim Moffett will lead a casual hike along Siuslaw National Forest's Sweet Creek Trail in Mapleton on Saturday, November 4th, 4:00-6:00 PM. The focus will be on waterfall photography, using whatever cameras participants have available, from cell phones to DSLRs. Enjoy the last of daylight saving time outdoors, and then recover with an extra hour of sleep as clocks turn back overnight.
Participation is limited to the first dozen registrants. In the case of inclement weather, the workshop may be rescheduled. However, light rain will be tolerated. Those using DSLR cameras will be able to make long-exposure photos, but they should bring an attachable tripod if available. Remember to bring rain gear and shoes with good traction. Participants must sign SWC's liability waiver and photo release form when arriving to the event.
