Description

Join us for a special photography workshop with a licensed falconer and photograph her birds of prey in flight, up close! One of our most exciting workshops is back! Join us for a special session where you'll photograph birds of prey in flight. Photographing birds in flight is full of special challenges, so this hands-on session is full of tips & techiniques to help you get some spectacular shots. Key topics for this sessionStopping fast actionTracking focusAnimal behavior & anticipating the actionPanning techniqueComposition, light, and the figure/ground relationshipGear to considerInterchangeable-lens camera - Most all-in-one type cameras aren't quite fast enough!Fast telephoto lens - e.g. 70-200mm f/2.8, 100-400mm or equivalent. We'll be pretty close to the birds, so you won't need a really long lens like you'd usually use for birding. You can leave the 600mm with teleconverter at home :)Fast spare memory cards - we'll be on continuous shooting mode a lot! Plan to take hundreds of photos to get a few good ones.Extra batteriesMonopod if you're worried about the weight of your camera, or to assist with panning.Class size is very limited, we can not overbook this session.
