Nicholas Hodge & retired BBC president Barbara Volkle eagerly await the start of the workshop.
Our instructor, Eric Smith. Eric 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.
Twenty-two participants ultimately turned out, including three new members and two guests.
Eric used a series of instructional slides...
as well as some of his own work to visually illustrate the concepts introduced.
Some jotted down hand-written notes...
while others like Kathy Davis typed her notations directly into her laptop.
During the breaks, class members like Cameron Mitchell and Lori Joyal powered up their cameras to review the previous lesson.
Eric pressed on during the lunch hour, answering questions from the class between bites of pizza.
Eric went to ANY length to illustrate a point... :-)
The smiles on the faces of Suzanne Lyons and Richard Sullivan at the close of the workshop were indicitive of the class as a whole. Demand was high for future workshops like these, and the BBC will do its best to provide them.
