Saturday, June 28: Photography at Mill Creek Marsh

with Sandy Sorkin and Ric Cohn

(Rain date June 29) Meet at 8:00 am at the entrance to Mill Creek Marsh, Secaucus.

Join us for a Montclair Bird Club photography trip to Mill Creek Marsh, in Secaucus. We’ll meet at the entrance gate (by Bob’s Furniture) at 8:00 am with cameras, tripods, scopes, binoculars, and smartphones.

We’ll take our time following the trail, keeping the sun over our shoulders and photographing birds, landscapes, woodchucks, and any other slice of nature we encounter; we will share tips, help each other with equipment, and review shots. If you are new to photography or just like to watch photographers, you are welcome to come along. There are no bathrooms at this site, but we can use the bathroom at Bob’s, which opens at 10:00. Contact Sandy Sorkin at 973 698-7900 for further information. 

We will also hold a Zoom follow-up to discuss images from the day, answer questions, and discuss camera settings. We can also talk about workflow, picture storage, and processing software. We will wait for group input to schedule the Zoom session.
