Organized by Peace River Audubon Society, and open to the public, the PRAS Photography Group has been started to enable those people in the local area interested in nature photography to meet informally and share their knowledge and experiences. If you are interested in nature photography, whether you are an expert or complete novice, you use digital or film, don't miss this great opportunity to improve your skills and share your love of wildlife and photography with others. The group currently meets from January through April.

On the 2 nd Tuesday of the month there is a photo shoot. The time depends on optimizing lighting for the particular shoot, and may be in the morning or afternoon. Time and place will be announced in the White Bird that preceeds the event, as well as at the preceeding PRAS meeting, and about a week in advance in the Charlotte Sun, PRAS Updates and CharlotteNatureAlerts. An e-mail list of interested persons is also maintained for notification of the occasional extra photo op.

On the 4 th Tuesday of the month there is an informal workshop where techniques and equipment are discussed and photos are shared. Special projects are also undertaken, such as working on individual slide shows for the May PRAS meeting. Meetings have taken place at 2 PM in the Watershed Building at CHEC, Burnt Store Road, Punta Gorda. A more central location is being sought. Be sure to check up-to-date information for a possible move.

Group activities include photo-workshops, photo-safaris, and photo contests.

There is also a photo gallery to display some of our members finests shots.
