Join us for a special photographers tour of Cosmic Cavern, near Berryville, AR!

Normal cave tours move too quickly and don’t allow tripods to take the long exposures necessary for the low light environment, but this is a special photographers tour arranged by PSNWA. During this extended tour photographers will be allowed to use tri-pods and given the space necessary to capture the magic of the cave and it’s formations. The cavern has a flat walking trail and will not require any crawling or climbing.

Register to join us at Beaver Lake for an eagle watching cruise on the Hobbs State Park pontoon boat. This limited seating boat tour will allow you a unique perspective to photograph eagles and other wildlife in and around Beaver lake.<!more>

More eagles are calling Beaver Lake home for the winter each year, why not come out and try your hand at photographing one of these magnificent birds of prey. This time of year, the resident eagles are busy rebuilding nests and possibly already sitting on eggs. Migrant birds are feeding in preparation for the journey north once the winter weather breaks.

Rescheduled for Feb. 29.

Are you interested in photographing the eagles that congregate in NW Arkansas during the winter months? This class will provide discussion and tips on the equipment and technique needed to start capturing these magnificent birds during the winter months as they migrate and can be easily photographed in many locations in and around NWA.

During the second hour, we will move to the Rocky Branch Marina to get on the Hobbs Eagle Cruise boat for an afternoon tour on Beaver Lake to attempt to find some eagles in nature.

Please come prepared with photo equipment, longer lenses are useful to get extra reach, but not required. Monopods for supporting longer lenses are permitted.
Appropriate winter clothing to endure being out on the lake in an open boat also make the trip more enjoyable. Spaces are limited due to the numbers that we can accommodate on the boat portion so don't delay in calling to register.

Come out and enjoy the Holiday lights on the downtown square in Fayetteville. We will meet in front of the Bank of Fayetteville at 6 PM for a quick discussion of photo tips for photographing holiday lights. Bright lights and dark surroundings make for challenging conditions to get good exposures. We’ll discuss some starting points for proper exposures, and tips for hopefully improving your holiday photos. You will then be free to wander and take photos for as long as you like, ask questions, seek input from others in the group so you can get the shots you desire. ( The Bank of Fayetteville in on the northwest corner of the square).  We can shoot for about a hour and then anyone who wants to meet up at Tim’s Pizza is welcome to join for food and drinks.  Tim’s Pizza is at 1813 E Mission Blvd, Fayetteville, AR 72703.
