LPA members are encouraged to come and provide assistance to those less experienced. Bring cutting surfaces, straight edges, and knives to help those who are new to this.

On August 25, 2026, Lancaster Photography Association is excited to have a specialist in Wildlife Photography speak to us! 

Brent Paull will speak about his photo safaris to Yellowstone National Park. As a seasoned wildlife photographer, he will share photographic tips regarding seasons, subjects, locations, and tactics. He has spent over 2200 days shooting in the park, so he is very knowledgeable about the different species and their

particular field tactics.

Also since he leads safaris, he will go over the do's and don'ts of making a trip successful. 

It should be a great time of learning. Invite your friends!

Time: 6:00 p.m.

Location: Antelope Valley Senior Center.
