Saturday 07 October
South Las Vegas Boulevard - 10am - 3 Hours

Painting Plants and Flowers
Saturday 07 October
East Las Vegas - 11am - 2 Hours

Intermediate Landscape Photography Meetup
Saturday 14 October
National Monument, Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada - 6:30am - 2 Hours
Continue your journey in this intermediate landscape photography class! You'll add to your technical skills by capturing the impressive transitions of natural lighting at dawn. By taking advantage of the delicate but fast shift from Nautical Twilight to sunrise, you will learn the critical skills necessary to "stay ahead" of the sun, and yield dramatic results. After sunrise, we will attempt to capture some photos of wildlife at dawn (provided that we find some), but we will certainly use the early morning conditions to both experiment with, and expand upon your technical familiarity to capture color shifts in landscape features.
SPECIAL NOTICE:
This class is meeting much earlier than the usual 10 am start-time that you may have seen in the past. Kindly factor in the early start if you are interested in participating.
We will gather at 6:30 am/0630 hours to hike to our vista spot, well before the sun starts to rise over the edge of the mountains. We will also have some time to set up and discuss the technical aspects in advance.

Architecture Photography Class
Saturday 04 November
Hacienda Rd, Newberry Springs - 10am - 3 Hours
As a unique unused collection of buildings, the years of graffiti and weathering have given this cluster of abandoned structures an ephemeral quality.

Considering the nature of the site, a variety of different compositions will be warmly encouraged.
