Southeast Volusia Audubon Society [SEVAS]

Want to take better photos of the natural world—but feel unsure as to how to use all those camera settings?

Join us for a two-part Nature Photography Class led by local photographer and birder David Baker, designed for all skill levels and all camera types—from iPhones to point-and-shoots to DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Open to all. Pre-Registration Required.

Instructor: David Baker
Dates: Thursdays, February 19 & 26
Time: 9–11am both days
Location: Marine Discovery Center
(lecture hall + outdoor grounds)

Each session includes:
45–60 minutes of illustrated lecture, theory, and discussion, then 1-hour hands-on practice in the field.

It takes time to build skills, discern different techniques and styles, but connecting with other nature enthisiasts and getting out into the field can sustain wellbeing and become a hobby for life.

The Ormond Beach Environmental Discovery Center in Central Park features roughly 2+ miles of trails, including wooded and paved paths, offering excellent birding opportunities during migration. Located at 601 Division Ave, the area connects to 75 acres of waterways, attracting diverse species, particularly waders. It is listed on eBird as a top hotspot (Ormond Beach--Central Park).

The EDC provides visitors with a glimpse into the diverse ecosystems of Ormond Beach. The facility features education programs, and up close encounters with nature. A unique feature to the center is the honeybee colony located inside. A vent system enables the bees to fly in and out of the building. Once they enter, the bees remain enclosed in a hive that is enclosed in glass.
