The San Francisco Bay Area earns a superb reputation for bird photography. Many species of waders, waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors, owls, song birds and many more are either migrating through our region or have established permanent residence.
The bird photography workshop is about finding the right location for birds, learning techniques that will enable you to get sharp pictures, and improving your skills through practice and candid critiques.
You will photograph with camera on tripod, monopod or handheld with field assistance from the instructor. Remember that the instructor is here to assist and answer your questions. Don’t be shy!
Upon signing up for the workshop, you will receive a coursebook that details the photoshoot locations and tips on bird photography.
What you'll learn:
• How to plan for wildlife photography
• Tips learned and applied over the years to capture sharp images
• Exposure for common and tricky situations
• Critical exercises to lock, track, and capture your subject
• Elements to make your bird photography stand out
• How to evaluate your images and select them (speed, accuracy, and quality)
• How to immerse yourself in bird photography (not to be missed!)
We are looking forward to meeting you at the bird photography workshop in January.
Don't delay your registration, as there is very few sessions scheduled this year.
