Members and Friends Scavenger Hunt at the Zoo! Planned for Saturday, May 17th.

We invite those of you who are not members of MCC to join us for a fun day of photographing zoo animals and meeting new friends! We’ll divide into small groups, combining members and new friends, to explore the zoo while searching for the elusive items on the Zoo Scavenger Hunt list.

Not confident in your photography skills or unfamiliar with your camera? No problem! Just set it to auto and start shooting. The goal is simply to get outdoors, capture what you see, and connect with new friends. MCC members will be happy to share their photography insights and offer composition tips. If you're unsure about your camera settings or exposure, just keep it on auto!

Did we mention prizes? We’ll have prizes to hand out during lunch, so be sure to hang on to your Zoo Scavenger Hunt list!

Here’s what you need to know:

• Register to attend on our website here.

• Meet at the zoo entrance at 8:30 AM for a group photo.

• We’ll enter the zoo at 9:00 AM when it opens.

• Everyone covers their own admission.

• Pick up your Scavenger Hunt list, find a new friend, and spend several hours photographing throughout the zoo.

• At 11:00 AM, Michael Pachis has arranged an “Up Close Experience with the Animals” educational session in one of the classrooms. We’ll hear fascinating insights about an animal and see it up close.

• Afterwards, we’ll gather for lunch at the zoo restaurant and hand out prizes.

• Feel free to continue exploring the zoo or call it a day.

• Email 4-5 of your best images to memphiscameraclub@gmail.com for a video showcase at our June meeting. Be sure to include “Zoo Photos” in the subject line.

• Join us on June 5 at The Farms at Bailey Station to watch the video featuring your zoo images!
