Join photographer Mike Cox as he covers the world of smartphone photography at Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 19.

Cox will discuss the limitations of mobile phone photography, how to choose the right phone, various phone camera modes, phone accessories and tips for improving your shots.

After the classroom session, Cox will lead the group on the photo walk from 11:00 a.m. to noon. Participants will have the opportunity to capture some of the beautiful summer prairie sights using their phones only.
