Beyond Level 5 Series Part 1 Guided TourNEW

MARION COUNTY (and maybe some Chase County)

Saturday, October 17 and/or Sunday, October 18

Presented by Level 5 Photography Guide Phoebe Janzen and JD Bauman

We will take you down country roads for landscape photos, country road photos, and chances to see wildlife. You will see several areas around the Marion Reservoir to take landscape and water scape photos. We often see several kinds of birds on these outings on the water, in the trees and resting on bushes and barbed wire fences. We will lead you through some interesting country.

Meeting time is 2:30 PM at 304 South Main Street in Hillsboro. We will plan to end up at a nice place to take sunset photos by the water. Once we know the number of individuals attending, we will correspond with attendees with options for supper for the evening as take out. We will have a mud route and a dry weather route. You need to have a vehicle that is NOT low to the ground, and with good tires.

Students should bring their camera, any lenses, tripod, and water. We won't be near any restroom facilities for the most part once we leave from my house. There are always trees to go behind. Bug spray if you are prone to mosquito or chiggers, and a small flashlight if you want to take any night photos once the sun goes down. You may also want to bring a lawn chair or something to sit on if we have a sack lunch or if we purchase a dinner to go. We will be in rural areas so that has limits for things such as food and bathrooms. All students are welcome, however this outing is designed with Level 5 students in mind.

There is a limit of ten (10) vehicles each day.

$50 per person, per day or $80/per person for both days.

Call CityArts at 316-350-3245 to enroll.
