Monday, January 30, 7:30 PMOur Speaker will present a selection of his bird images along with commentary intended to inform, entertain, and inspire. Using example photos, he will demonstrate the importance of things like head angle, catchlights, in-camera composition, knowing your subject, and being proactive in the field. The presentation will also include tips on camera settings and in-the-field workflow which can lead to better and more consistent images. The goal is to provide insight into the many different ingredients that must come together to create a compelling bird photography.
