Where: Norris Camp
What: Photographing Spring Orchids
Who: Interested intrepid travelers and photographers
We have tentatively scheduled accommodations at the Norris Camp for up to 10 individuals (and as many tenters and campers who want to go). Saturday, we will travel 300 miles north (six hours) and probably arrive in time for a late afternoon shoot. If the weather cooperates we might try some night time photography, star trails, light painting etc. The next morning, we will be out early to capture the golden hour light. Our primary goal will be to photograph wild spring orchids such as:
Showy Lady's Slipper (MN State Flower)Greater and Lesser Yellow Lady's Slipper
Pink Lady's Slipper (Moccasin Flower, Stemless Lady's Slipper)
Picture Plants
It might be too late to capture Calypsos and Ram's Head Orchids but maybe we will luck out.
Additional details will be discussed at the May 6th meeting.
