Weekday Hikes

Let's meet at Lakeline Park where we will walk about 3.0 miles. The trail is paved so street shoes will be fine for the trek. Please note that we will be meeting at The Mobile Kayak rentals (GPS coordinates 30°29′13″ N 97°48′54″ W). For more information on the park click [here](https://cedarparktxliving.com/lakeline-park/). In the event of bad weather, I will issue a cancellation notice at least one hour prior to the event. If you need to contact me, my phone number is 512-922-2006. Please note this event is also posted on [Hiking, Walking and Socializing](https://www.meetup.com/hiking-walking-and-socializing/). Finally, we recommend that you review information on the trail and that you come prepared for the hike (e.g., bring at least two liters of water, wear appropriate footwear such as hiking boots, and a brimmed hat.) All attendees are solely responsible for their own health and safety. By RSVPing for this event, you are agreeing that you are taking sole responsibility for your own health and safety and, if any, your guests' health and safety. If you or your guests are not willing or are unable to take responsibility for your own health and safety, do not RSVP for this event.

Located in the shadow of Capital of Texas Highway Loop 360, the [Bull Creek greenbelt](http://www.austintop50.com/2013/06/bull-creek-greenbelt-hike.html) is a favorite hiking destination in northwest Austin. The greenbelt surrounds a segment of Bull Creek known for its scenery, containing natural springs, waterfalls, swimming holes, and towering limestone bluffs. Today's hike will be **7 miles** at a **Moderately Brisk** pace on a **rugged** trail. The High and Dry route makes a complete loop and avoids creek crossings and drama by utilizing neighborhood streets where needed. *(Some hikers prefer to go straight across the creek. If so, wear shoes that can get wet or bring flip-flops for a quick change. Otherwise wear shoes with good traction.)* Hikers should be able to climb 20 flights of stairs, make their way over a 4-foot tall boulder, and not have an irrational fear of heights. No pets please. Often we go out for food and drink afterwards. Participants must sign a Liability Waiver at the trailhead. You may view the waiver document: [https://tinyurl.com/SCSignUpSheet2020](https://tinyurl.com/SCSignUpSheet2020) . If not already a member, we encourage you to [join the Sierra Club](https://sierraclub.org/texas/austin) (in addition to the Meetup group) and help protect the environment and our democracy.

Casual open play pickleball for all levels, including beginners. Equipment: You will need to purchase a paddle, or you can rent one from the front desk. We play with “outdoor” balls.

hey North Austin! let's take advantage of this beautiful weather and spend a little time hanging out at Lakeline Park with a good old fashioned picnic. we'll meet near the docks and then go find a spot on the green to to enjoy the beautiful weather and peaceful Park. I'd recommend bringing some food and water, some things to entertain, and a blanket and chair. this will be a good chill hangout to enjoy the spring weather before the heat of the summer!

Whoo-hoo! Time for another Hike with Maddy ATX adventure with the crew. 🌿 On our next hike, we’ll be exploring a beautiful stretch of the **Violet Crown Trail**, starting at the Barton Creek 360 Trailhead (the **entrance next to the office building**!) and ending at the 290 Trailhead. This route offers a peaceful, mostly shaded experience through a forested area, with a more natural Hill Country feel. The trail is generally fairly flat with some gentle elevation changes and sections of rocky, uneven terrain, making it a nice balance between relaxed and active. Along the way, there are a few spur trails that lead to scenic spots along the creek, which we may explore depending on time and group interest. We’ll be doing a **4-mile out-and-back** at a social, supportive pace and will keep the group together. This is a great option if you’re looking for something approachable and grounding, with just a bit more of a workout than a paved path, but nothing too intense. The trail also follows along the Barton Creek Greenbelt, so expect a classic Austin outdoor experience and to see others out enjoying the trail as well.

This workshop will get you well on your way to making beautiful portraits using OCF. Topics include: * Location scouting with good light and surroundings * Understanding focal length for portraits * Light quality and direction * Equipment considerations * Blending flash with available light * How to separate a subject from the background * Posing and how to make it work outdoors We will cover this material in-depth then shoot at several spots at the park. You'll have plenty of time to shoot and explore the combinations of light, location and pose. I'll bring a flash that works with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic and Fuji in TTL as well as HSS. If you're not familiar with those terms, you'll learn all about them in this workshop. You'll definitely want to bring your camera because you will be shooting during this workshop. I will provide the flash - you do not need to bring your own flash. Once you get the hang of using OCF outdoors, you'll see it's not difficult and can make a dramatic difference in your images. We'll be joined by a professional model so you will be able to practice what you learn. Your enrollment includes photo release for promotional/portfolio use so you'll not only learn about outdoor photography but you'll also have the opportunity to add to your portfolio. Plan on wearing comfortable walking shoes for this workshop. At times, we may walk on uneven, rocky surfaces. Please check your camera's firmware to ensure it is up-to-date. We've had a few people have technical issues at past workshops due to out-of-date firmware. If you would like to attend this workshop and need help updating your firmware send me a private message. \* \* \* DO NOT REGISTER HERE ON MEETUP - visit [https://www.precision-camera.com/outdoor-off-camera-flash-photography/](https://www.precision-camera.com/outdoor-off-camera-flash-photography/) to register \* \* \* Class cost is $129.
