Looking to get better at Bird Photography? Are you a Beginner or Advanced Beginner photographer looking to take that next step? Eric Smith will be conducting a 5-hour bird/wildlife photography workshop covering all aspects of digital photography: before you take the picture, when you take it and what to do afterward. Topics will include camera settings, what the different modes mean, lenses and their notation, focusing modes, what ISO does and how to use it to your advantage, an overview of Adobe Lightroom, how to store your pictures and much more. While a Digital SLR is not required, a very simple Point and Shoot might not have every feature discussed. But that just prepares you when you move up to a more advanced camera!
Instructions: Bring your camera, laptop (if you have one) and some way to take notes. Coffee and doughnuts will be served in the morning, followed by a catered lunch around mid-day.
Eric Smith has been shooting wildlife seriously for the last 7 years. He photographs all over New England, with an emphasis on birds. He loves being outdoors and that grew into wanting to share what he sees with others. Eric runs or participates in several photography clubs, teaches classes for Mass Audubon, and currently sits on the boards of both the Menotomy Bird Club and Eastern Mass Hawk Watch.
