Photo Walk: Nature

Photograph the flora and fauna of the Trinity! Join our DCP instructor and a naturalist for this unique experience in the Lower Chain of Wetlands.
Upcoming Photo Walk
Walk, learn, shoot!

Among the skyscrapers and interstates, there is so much natural beauty and wildlife to discover in North Texas! Join us on this photo walk through the Lower Chain of Wetlands in southeast Dallas and experience a different side of Dallas.

We’ll begin with a guided tour by a naturalist who will tell us about flora and the fauna of the Lower Chain of Wetlands in southeast Dallas. After our tour, attendees will be able to walk around the trail independently. Our instructor will be there to answer questions, offer suggestions, and give some feedback on your photos.

We will have an online image review a few days after to show off the photos you captured during the walk. We’ll meet online via Zoom to look at our images and get supportive feedback from the group. Shooting and reviewing as a group offers insights into your own and others’ photography.
