About

Join park volunteer and hobbyist photographer David Dorman for a look at his approach to wildlife photography at Historic Yates Mill County Park and other natural areas. He will share easy-to-understand tips on photo composition, camera settings, and where to find a wide variety of wildlife in central and eastern North Carolina. This 45-minute presentation is recommended for ages 8 and up, and participants are welcome to stay afterward for a question-and-answer session with the presenter. Pre-registration is encouraged. 

After the program, be sure to check out the "Wildlife through the Seasons" exhibit, which features 16 of Dorman's images of animals at the park. This exhibit is made possible by a Stoskopf Foundation Wellspring Award.
