Members and Friends Photo Walk & Scavenger Hunt at the Zoo! Planned for Saturday, May 16th.
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!
