Mt.Tabor Park

Join our photo lessons at Mt.Tabor Park, which is one of the excellent locales in the rotation of many Portland venues that offer terrific photo opportunities.

Venue Description:

Mount Tabor Park is the ideal photo workshop setting, with open reservoirs, an array of hiking trails and even an extinct volcano. (In the U.S., there are only 6 cities with an extinct volcano within its limits.

Over 100 years ago, (1909), Mt. Tabor’s 191 acres became an official public space and, thanks to architect, John Olmstead, the layout is pleasing with thousands of indigenous plants, winding hiking trails, gently curing roads, paved with the cinders from the extinct volcano.

Your Digital Photo Academy instructor will demonstrate and supervise the steps to capture breathtaking vistas of the volcano from afar, or the picturesque bird’s eye view of the reservoirs from above.

Additionally, there are macro photo lessons to capture close-up shots of many different wild flowers and plants
