Dramatic weather makes dramatic pictures. Sapphic Adventure member Krystal is a professional fine art photographer. She offered to guide us through the beautiful winter landscape of the Matthiessen State Park and share some photography tips. Krystal studied at Brooks Institute of Photography and has taught at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Hyde Park Art Center and other schools. Any levels are welcome, even if you only have a point-and-shoot camera. If you just want to hike through the woods and get away from the city, come join us as well. The hike will last about 3 to 4 hours depending on the weather condition. Please visit Krystal's site for information about her:http://www.krystalmeisel.com/ Meetup time:We usually wait for about 15 mins considered road conditions. However, please be on time as much as possible because it is too cold to stand still outside. Meetup location: We will meet at the parking lot right off the route 178 nearest to the DELLS AREA on the park map. Park map:http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/landmgt/PARKS/sitemaps/matthiessen.jpg. After the shooting, we could go to a nearby restaurant to warm up.
Location: Matthiessen Park, 2568 E. 950th Rd Oglesby
