Acadiana's Photography Group May Meeting

Bring your camera and gear and meet at the peers!!

Lake Martin is about 10 miles south of Lafayette, Louisiana. It is part open water, and part cypress swamp. There is a hiking trail along the western edge, and a dirt road along the eastern edge. They converge at the north and south ends of the lake. The hiking trail was closed for the breeding season (especially alligators who frequent the trail.) The rookery occupies the southern portion of the swamp. It comes very close to the road, and extends deep into the swamp. With patience, you can get a clean shot, but the proliferation of small cedar branches makes that difficult. There are excellent flight opportunities due to the constant search for nesting materials. There are frequent flyers in the open, parallel to the road and traversing the road (there are no nests on the east side of the road, just a bird?s version of a swampy lumber yard.)

We'll use the time to get to know each other, talk about being Photographers, and discuss what we want out of our Meetups.

We are looking for suggestions on where to hold this meetup. If you have any ideas, please make your way to the message board to open a thread on where to meetup. Looking forward to meeting you.
