If you’d like to try your hand at songbird photography, why not do so with a little guidance. This Spring, join me, Matt Malwitz, for an in-the-field songbird photography workshop. During this outing, we'll discuss how to find and identify songbirds, how to approach and move around wildlife, and different photographic techniques, all while photographing birds in the field.
Our goal will be to capture stunning images of two or three species, prioritizing quality shots over quantity of birds. We won't get good looks at everything, and some birds are trickier than others, but that's all part of the fun. As the saying goes, "if it were easy, everyone would do it". So, why not give bird photography a chance. Spaces are limited, so choose your date soon.
Each workshop will be altered to your comfort and ability. Many species can be found right off the side of the road, while others may require a little hiking. Let me know what you'd prefer and we'll accommodate. Either way, you'll likely walk away with great images!
