Naturalperl Photo-walkers photographing Spider Lillies at the prairie wetland of Brazos Bend State Park, Tx.

Laszlo, as a Volunteer at Brazos Bend SP, started his monthly Naturalperl Free Photo-walks there, 15 years ago. He leads the Naturalperl Sunrise and/or Sunset instructional Workshops at the Coastal Marshes and other great locations such as Wichita Mountains NWR, Bosque del Apache NWR or Yellowstone NP. He leads his Naturalperl discussion meetings, portfolio critiques. His knowledge, responsibility and friendly hospitality make the Participants happy.

Naturalperl workshop participants at Bosque del Apache NWR. The light was soft and we reached the far end of the refuge, where large flock of snow geese fed on the corn fields.  We all got great shots there. The sunset was nice there too. See more about our outings on the next page: "News". Please note that Naturalperl will lead SRW and SSW at Wichita Mountains NWR on March 21-23, 2008 and on November 27-30, 2008, at Bosque del Apache NWR on December 27-31, 2008.

Laszlo and Lexi of Naturalperl®, visited the Audubon Society’s Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary at Bolivar Peninsula. We were at the right place at the right time. Thousands of American avocets, Sandpipers were there, and later the huge White Pelicans also arrived. The birds accepted our presence and we took great photographs for several hours.


Tripo-brellas are in action. As an optional solution, you can wrap your camera with a shower cap, but we prefer our tripo-brellas. I like the darker green one, but Lexi likes the tan, because she often use it as a diffuser on non rainy days. If you interested for this product, please drop me an e-mail.
