Photography is an important element when creating iNaturalist observations. Receive first-hand practice as you walk, and learn how to take clear, concise photographs that optimize your subject. This class will also cover SEEK, an app that uses the iNaturalist database but does not require you to make an account, which is ideal for use with children.
This session will take place outdoors. You might also be interested in attending Part I of the series on August 26th, where we will share an overview of iNaturalist. If you’re unable to join us, you can check back here for the recording.
By the end of this session, attendees will:
- Know how to use the iNaturalist and Seek apps to record their observations on iNaturalist
- Receive hands-on experience making observations in the field
- Learn tips for taking the best photos for observations
