On April 27, 2024, this diverse group of photographers converged at Christmas Circle in Borrego Springs. The day was meticulously planned, allowing participants to explore and photograph some of the most scenic views offered by the region.
The group set out early from Christmas Circle and headed towards Fonts Point, known for its breathtaking vistas of the badlands. After an enriching photography session there, they moved on to the stark yet beautiful Clark Dry Lake. Each location provided ample opportunities for participants to capture the unique landscapes and geological formations that make Anza-Borrego so unique.
After a morning filled with collaborative learning and skill-sharing among photographers, some of the attendees gathered at Big Horn Burgers & Shakes to share their experiences and enjoy some local flavors.
For locals and visitors alike, Borrego Springs and its surrounding
state park are not just about the stunning views but also about the experience of capturing the ever-changing light and shadows that dance across the desert landscape. This photography meet-up not only highlighted the natural beauty of the area but also underscored the community spirit among photographers who share a common passion.
