If you’d like to try your hand at songbird photography or enhance your compositional skills, why not do so with a little guidance. This Spring, join BCC's Matt Malwitz, for this in-the-field 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 capturing beautiful images of the birds!
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, but that's all part of the challenge. As the saying goes, "if it were easy, everyone would do it". So, why not give bird photography a chance. Each outing is limited to two attendees. Spaces are limited, so choose your date soon.
