Morean Arts Center

Join us for a relaxed, two-hour photo walk through Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Petersburg.&nbsp; We’ll focus on photography’s main ingredient: LIGHT!&nbsp; On the walk, we’ll follow the late-afternoon sun through Boyd Hill, chasing long shadows, striking silhouettes, and the dramatic contrast that golden hour brings to this stunning preserve.
Along the way, we’ll stop at a handful of spots with different lighting challenges, each with a small prompt to spark ideas. You’ll practice spotting interesting light, framing shadows as subjects, seeing light from different angles, and exposing for high-contrast scenes.&nbsp; In the case of light rain or overcast skies, we will leverage the magic of diffused light.&nbsp; We’ll wrap up with a quick show-and-tell to share your favorite frames, and all participants will be invited to join Michelle’s private online photography community.&nbsp;
All skill levels and cameras are welcome, from phones to film. Just bring curiosity and comfortable shoes.
