Join us for a special photography workshop with a falconer and photograph her birds of prey in flight, up close!

One of our favorite 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 & techniques to help you get some spectacular shots.

Key topics for this session
-Stopping fast action
-Tracking focus
-Animal behavior & anticipating the action
-Panning technique
-Composition, light, and the figure/ground relationship

Gear to consider
– Interchangeable-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.
– 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 batteries
– Monopod if you’re worried about the weight of your camera, or to assist with panning.
Class size is limited, we can not overbook this session.
