A Photographers' paradise

A beautiful setting for digiscoping

Numerous internationally-renowned photographers and birders gather at the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Research Reserve to lead photography seminars, birding and walking tours. With this festival's emphasis on photography techniques in the field, digiscopers benefit from the hands-on opportunities available in this beautiful setting along the Atlantic Coast between St. Augustine and Jacksonville, Florida.

So much to do
