Join Bill Ray in learning how to make appealing bird photos even if you are new to the craft of photography. The main topics are described below.Making a successful bird photograph: Tips on &quot;posing&quot; birds, starting in your backyard. See what makes a memorable photograph. Learn what’s different between bird watching and photography. Discover three typical shooting situations that will help make sense of the technology in the next two sessions. Camera gear and settings: How to go beyond snapshots with a Bridge, Mirrorless or DSLR camera. Characteristics of birding cameras, including what to look for in a first digital camera. Practical approaches for exposure and focus that largely use the camera’s smarts with your selective overrides. Get sharp photos by matching autofocus settings to how the birds move around. Post-processing to bring out the best, most natural results: In the real world with birds we are unlikely to capture the photo perfectly in camera—too many moving parts. Consider several popular software editors from free and simple to sophisticated. Just two editing steps can greatly improve your photos.Here’s what two previous students had to say about Bill’s class: “I learned so many things and I know others in the participants learned so much too. Your sense of humor and easy explanations of difficult subjects were awesome.” “Holy cow! I can’t wait to apply these ideas. Great presentation. ” Recordings and copies of the slides will be available.
