Happy New Year! New Photo Walk @ Coyote Point, San Mateo CA

Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's get this group going again and go explore some of the bluff trails, beach and boats at the marina found within Coyote Point Recreation Area. I have no idea what captures we might discover here but the whole idea is to go explore with our eyes and see what we might find!

This is a practice session where we get together and help support each other's creative eye and practice our camera skills. This is not a class-type event or private lesson for beginners on how to use your cameras. Please have a basic understanding of the gear you have decided to purchase.
But, artistic collaboration and photography gear talk is highly welcomed and encouraged by all participants!!!

If you enjoy your experience with this Meetup group then tipping or donations to give back to your organizer are highly encouraged and welcomed via the Pledge fundraising link, this section is found on the main page of our group https://4142298.xyz/south-bay-nature-photography/

OR If you wish to show appreciation and give directly back to your host for volunteering her time on research, scouting and hosting these events for you, then please send to
https://venmo.com/u/AllShiva (last 4 digits of phone #9100)

Every donation helps as Meetup has been increasing their charges to Meetup organizers for hosting their groups each year, so this kind of support does help assure that more photography events will be planned in the future and it helps me avoid having to ask for membership fees.
