Time: 6pm Meet in the parking lot at 5pm and we can enter as a group.


Admission Fee: $25 pay at the entrance.


This is an opportunity to capture the milky way in a field of sunflowers.  Our meet up time allows time in the fields to claim a spot and to get some quick shots of the sunflowers at sunset too.


A detailed info sheet will be provided at the outing.  If you are new to this type of photography please do some research on the internet.  It’s not hard and the results can be fascinating.


This outing is weather dependent and will be canceled if conditions are unsatisfactory.


Suggested gear:

Camera with a wide-angle lens with an f/4 or f/2.8 aperture for best results. 

Sturdy tripod.

Cable release.

Lens cloth.

Bug spray.

A source of light with a red filter.  No bright lights please.  You will hear from others if your lighting is too bright including the screen on your camera back.


Bring a chair or stool if you like. Dress warm.
