Join fellow PSNWA members as we photograph the Milky Way and stars rising over the Kings River Falls. We will meet at 7:00 P.M. at the Walmart Neighborhood Market on the SE corner of Hwy 412 East and Butterfield Coach in Springdale and travel together to ensure everyone can find the location. The parking area at the destination is small, so we will want to carpool. There is also about a one mile easy hike from the parking area to the falls on the river. The hike in during the last part of the day should allow us to get in and get set up with ease. The Milky Way should be straight up in the southern sky at 10:00 P.M. that evening, so it may not even be an all-nighter. You should plan to have ample headlamps or flashlights for the trek out however, and plenty of bug spray.

If you have not done night photography before but are interested, come on out, we can help you get started, its not that hard.

A camera, tripod, wide angle lens are essentials, and cable release would be recommended.

PSNWA in partnership with Hobbs State Park presents a unique opportunity to learn about and photograph dragonflies and other insects around the conservation center.  The event will start with a brief presentation by Hobbs staff members followed by brief instruction on how to photograph dragonflies.  We will then head outside to try it out.
