Learn how to photograph birds, insects, flowers and even fireworks through this hands on in field instruction through this series. Learn the best camera settings for different situations to get great results.
Pre-requisites: Must have a mirrorless or DSLR camera with manual control settings. No cell phones. Types of lenses needed will be specific to each session. For the Eagles and Trumpeter Swans Lesson, lenses should be 400mm+ for optimal results. Shorter lenses can be used to learn techniques but results will be of lesser quality.
This is a 2 session class. Instruction and workshop will take place on June 28th and there will be an opportunity to photograph fireworks with Madi Hawn in the field on July 3rd.

*Nature is unpredictable* Therefore subject matter may change and/or classes may need to be re-scheduled at times.
*Photo Taken By Madi Hawn at the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary
