About this event
Five days from first flight to a finished portfolio, with a field session every afternoon. Drones are provided, or bring your own.
Aerial Photography Bootcamp is one of those gatherings where you come for an hour and stay for three. Everyone is welcome, whether you have lived here for decades or arrived last week.
Volunteers make it happen, and there is always room for more help. If you would like to pitch in, find someone wearing a name tag when you arrive.
First time? Look for the welcome table and we will introduce you around.

A friendly crowd and plenty of new faces.
