MAPLE LAKE, MN – Taking great outdoor photos during the fall color season can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it also can present interesting challenges for the photographer.
How to successfully meet these challenges will be the subject of a nature photography program at Lake Maria State Park Sunday, Oct. 5, beginning at 1 p.m. at the park’s nature center.
Leading the session will be veteran professional photographer John Pennoyer of Maple Grove, who has conducted workshops for many organizations and is a member of the Nature Camera Club.
“This free program, for adults and youth, is designed for all levels of camera experience,” says Mark Crawford, park manager. “Following the program at the center, participants can put their knowledge to work within the park.”
For more information and directions, call the park office at (763) 878-2325 or visit its web site at www.mnstateparks.info. A $5 vehicle entry fee will be required for those without an annual permit.
Lake Maria State Park is located approximately seven miles northwest of Monticello, five miles north of Maple Lake and 10 miles northeast of Annandale on Wright County Road 111.
