So you’ve booked your Lincoln City, Oregon lodging. Congratulations! With the right rental, your vacation will practically plan itself; just step out the door to enjoy all the grandeur of the ocean and everything it has to offer. Chances are you’re looking for a few fun things to do in Lincoln City, Oregon, though. There’s nothing wrong with keeping it simple and doing nothing more than enjoying your rented home and the ocean nearby, but this charming seaside town has so much more to offer than what meets the eye. And when what meets the eye is so beautiful, why not capture it in the most elegant style possible? Photography hiking workshops are bringing together visitors and locals alike to capture this area’s beauty with a professional touch. 

The beauty of the coastline is one of the first thing guests notice after checking into their beach rentals. Lincoln City, Oregon is not just a beach town, though. Miles and miles of hiking trails stretch from mountains to rivers to the bay and right up to the oceanfront. Most visitors want to take plenty of pictures of these magical sights, but without the right professional skills the resulting photographs will probably not truly capture the majestic beauty of this place. That’s why Jeri Knudson and Bob Gibson of Lincoln City’s Blue Water Photography have started offering photography hiking clinics. This spring and summer, you can take a two-hour workshop with these two professionals who bring decades of experience to their craft. The clinics includes an hour of hiking and image-capturing in some of the area’s premiere hiking locations and another hour in the studio for sharing and Q&A.

There are plenty of opportunities to register for these photography hiking clinics throughout this spring and summer, with each workshop taking hikers through a different trail for a completely unique experience. Every hike will take place between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., and will provide new and different opportunities to capture unmatched photographs of Lincoln City’s wild side. Plan accordingly and book your vacation rentals! Lincoln City, Oregon photography hiking workshops will take place on the following dates and at the following locations:

·      Saturday, April 11 beginning at Connie Hansen Garden

·      Saturday, May 23 beginning at The Villages

·      Sunday, June 7 beginning at Spring Lake Trail
