Beginner Bird Photography

Warbler season is fast approaching and now is the time to get ready. In the meantime, there are plenty of other species around so you can get your bird photography fix. 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.

The class will cover:

- Potential settings

- Finding good backgrounds

- Determining shooting angles taking into account lighting and composition

- Waiting for the right moment

- How to find locations

- Tips for success

- Hints for Magee Marsh and the surrounding area

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