Grab your macro lens and spend 90 minutes in a peaceful, before-hours setting surrounded by winged wonders in the beautiful garden of Butterflies Alive! at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. Amateur and professional shutterbugs ages 16 and up are welcome to bring their tripods for these photographer-only sessions. A photo release will be provided for you to use the images as you choose, personally or commercially.
This event is part of a three-date series, with additional sessions available on July 14 and August 18.
Pre-registration is required and space is limited to 15 participants, so sign up while space lasts.
Weather not guaranteed. This event will proceed whether it’s sunny, foggy, or rainy, and will only be canceled/refunded in the event of extreme heat or lightning.
