Image title	Sunflower sea star (Pycnopodia helianthoides). Digital Photo Walk at Montana de Oro's Hazard Reef Tidepools, led by Jerry Kirkhart, 09 Jan. 2009. 25 people attended this most popular event. Event description says: Bring your SLR Digital Camera and a Macro Lens or a Point and Shoot that has macro capabilities. Beginners Welcome. A Marine Biologist will show techniques of macro photography of tide pool organisms, and the safest places to walk. Wear non-skid shoes so you will BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE IN TIDE POOLS! Meet at the Hazard Reef Parking lot 1.6 miles past the MDO entrance sign using the Pecho Valley Road . See Photomorrobay.com for more info. (S) 1 mi., 1.5 hr. Reminder that on Friday, Jan 9th, there will be a -1.61 low tide DPW walk for anyone interested in macrophotography of intertidal organisms. The walk will start from the Hazard Reef parking lot at 2:15PM (notice slight time change from original posting), in order to give time to work the tide out and photograph all intertidal life possible. The tide and we will not wait for late comers, sorry. Instruction will be given by a marine biologist on how to use your macro lens and to photograph and ID marine organisms. Instruction will also be given on where the safest place is to step and what algae to not step on too, for best safety. Any camera with macro capabilities can be used. We should see Chaffey Limpets, Gum Boot Chitons, some nudibranchs, hopefully Octopi, and many others. Wear warm clothes in layers. Park about 1.6 miles from the MDO entrance sign in the Hazard Reef Parking lot, and we will hike to the ocean. Please call Jerry Kirkhart (805) 534-9198 or email if there are questions. Mike Baird will also be available for camera questions, plus other local photographers for suggestions on camera settings and flash use too. Beginners are welcome.
