Insects at Hobbs State Park
September 24, 2016
2:00 pm - 5:30 pm
- To be successful you will need a macro lens, or a medium telephoto lens able to focus close enough to fill your viewfinder with a flower and an insect or two. If you have one, a monopod may be useful to help steady the camera and lens.
- Just for fun, you may also want to review the Arkansas Butterfly Checklist and see how many you can photograph during the event.
PSNWA and Hobbs State Park formed a partnership in 2015 to bring photographic education to the park grounds, and “Insect Photography”, is one of several events created to combine classroom education with practical, photographic experience.
Read more about the partnership here.
This event is free and open to the public; PSNWA Member and Guest Registration is available as a courtesy reminder for the event.

5:30 am - 9:00 am
Join us for a sunrise photoshoot at the dam at Lake Fayetteville. Lake Fayetteville was completed in 1949 and is comprised of 458 acres of land with 194 acres of water. The lakes east/west layout means that beautiful sunrise pictures can be taken from the dam. A paved walking trail along the top of the dam joins a parking lot on the northern edge of the dam, and makes for quick and easy access to the prime photographic locations.
We will meet on the Lake Fayetteville Dam just past Lewis & Clark on Highway 71B (Just north of the Northwest Arkansas Mall) between 5:45 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. After sunrise take a stroll to the southeast for some additional nature photography along the lake trail.

July 9, 2016
8:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join PSNWA at Akansas’ largest facility on the National Register of Historic places for a photography only tour of the Arkansas Tuberculous Sanatorium in Booneville. Rachel Silva of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program will be leading a tour and “re-photographic survey” of the facility – using historical postcards dating from the early 1900s. The facility has generously offered to help publicly display images which historically capture the exact vantage point from which the antique images were taken. Our photography only tour of two hours lasts from 8:00AM to 10:00AM, and will be followed by a public walk and historical discussion on the thousands of patients and residents who made “the Hill” thier home. The combined activities conclude at noon.
