If you would like to learn more about capturing digital photos in the stunning Central Australian landscape, then the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the NT (PWCNT) has the activity just for you.
PWCNT Senior Ranger, Sheridan Martin said
people were invited to join the tag along photography tour through the Owen Springs
Reserve on Monday, 4 May.
“Participants will be joined by a local
ranger and local guest photographer Joyce van Dijk, who is volunteering her
time to provide trade secrets on snapping great photos,” Ms Martin said.
“The
tour will visit numerous top photo locations through the reserve, giving participants
a chance to test out their cameras and learn from an expert in the field.
“You’ll need to have a high clearance 4WD and
a digital SLR is preferred, along with a wide angle lens for landscape shots
and zoom for wildlife and detail shots, however a point and shoot camera will
also be fine.
“The cost is $10 and bookings are essential
with strictly limited numbers, so please call the Alice Springs Parks and
Wildlife office on 8951 8250 to secure your place.”
The tag along tour will take place from 1pm –
6pm on Monday, 4 May at the Owen Springs Reserve.
Participants are to meet at the start of the
southern entrance shelter to the Reserve, off the South Stuart Highway.
Bookings can be made by calling the Alice
Springs Parks and Wildlife office on 8951 8250.
Owen Springs Reserve is a 40 minute drive,
60km south west of Alice Springs and provides an outback four wheel drive
experience, a quiet bush setting for camping (without facilities) and ideal
picnicking and bird watching opportunities.
