Photowalk: Mercer Arboretum
November 27, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Mercer Arboretum is located on the Northeast side of Houston – in the city of Humble. It offers a variety of plants, flowers, etc. to photograph. This will also be a good chance to walk off some of the excess pumpkin pie you had the day before on Thanksgiving.
We’ll meet near the entrance. You’ll be free to walk around and shoot as you want.
FOR OUR NEWER MEMBERS – we’ve had a lot of new people join recently – many who are new to digital photography, and have lots of questions. I’ll be making myself available to answer questions you may have (to the best of my ability…),
PLEASE NOTE – face masks are mandatory for this photowalk. First, it’s for both your safety and everyone else’s. Second, as a group, it shows we care – not only about each other, but everyone else. I work for a hospital system, and get updates daily on COVID-19. I know way more about this virus than I want to admit to.
CAMERA HINTS / TIPS
Many of the plant and flowers are great choices for macro photography. So if you have a macro, or long telephoto/zoom, bring it.
Mercer does allow the use of tripods, monopods and platipods.
If it’s a bit windy, you might consider bringing a flash to help freeze any motion, and shoot in high speed sync mode.
