Join host Jenny Burdette and the GNPA Gwinnett Chapter on FRI, AUG 26 · 9:30 AM EDT at the Dahlonega Butterfly Farm!
After watching the webinar with Kathy Adams Clark on photographing butterflies, let’s put those new skills to use at the Dahlonega Butterfly Farm (https://www.dahlonegabutterfly.com/).
You must be a paid GNPA member to attend this event. Not a member? Go to our website at www.gnpa.org to learn more about us and join. We’d love to have you! Members can register at https://www.meetup.com/gwinnett-gnpa-chapter/events/287623547/. Group size limited to 20.
Photograph butterflies in the 760 square foot conservatory at the Dahlonega Butterfly Farm. Visit the “containment room” where the butterflies are born and see the caterpillar habitat. We will also visit the outdoor gardens to photograph the flowers and, hopefully, the hummingbirds and butterflies that visit them. The Butterfly Farm also offers educational opportunities to learn more about the life cycle of butterflies and their role as pollinators.
IMPORTANT: We have the conservatory reserved for GNPA for the first half hour and the option to stay longer. The general public will be allowed to enter after 10:00 am.
It is VERY hot and VERY humid in the conservatory. We will enter in groups of 6-10 and then swap after 15 minutes. There is as much to shoot outside as there is inside the conservatory.
Equipment: Standard lens, short telephoto, and/or Macro. A long telephoto is useful for shooting in the garden outside. Tripods are awkward in the confined space, but maybe bring a Monopod, if you have one. Tripods will work in the outdoor areas.
Rates: Adult (Ages 13+): $9 | Senior (62+) and Military – $7
With 8 or more, we will get the group rate of $6 per person.
Bring water, sunscreen, hat, and insect repellent.
