Coming home with great images after going out on a shoot is exhilarating and the ideas presented in this class will help you achieve your goals as a bird photographer. There’s no need to travel out-of-state to get images of birds you will treasure!


This course is geared toward the beginning bird photographer with general knowledge of aperture, shutter speed and ISO.


The class will cover:


– Potential settings


– Finding good backgrounds


– Determining shooting angles taking into account lighting and composition


– Waiting for the right moment


– Hints for finding birding locations locally.


– Kathy will provide specific examples from images she has taken in the past on how to increase your number of keepers.
