Hi everyone,
I’m a grad student here at Caltech, and I’m looking to take my birding and wildlife photography hobby a bit more seriously this year.
I’m already familiar with the larger organized walks in the area (Pasadena Audubon, etc.), but I’ve found that large groups aren’t ideal for the kind of photography I’m interested in—they tend to be a bit loud and scare off the more elusive species.
I’m looking for one or two people who would be interested in doing regular, small-scale (1-1 or very small group) outings around campus and the greater Pasadena/LA area. Specifically, I’m looking for someone who doesn’t mind the "slow" side of photography—staying in one spot for 20–30 minutes to wait for the right light or for a bird to land.
If you’re interested in nature, need an excuse to get off campus for a sunrise walk, or are a fellow photographer looking for someone to scout locations with, I’d love to connect.
