Ethical Bird Photography for Beginners

Have you ever wanted to photograph that snowy egret stalking its dinner in the shallows? Join docent and published wildlife photographer Mark Bohrer to discover where to find those wary birds, what behavior to look for, and how to ethically capture them on pixels or film. You'll need a lens extending to at least 300mm (400mm or longer preferred) on your digital SLR, or the 35mm-equivalent on your advanced point-and-shoot camera. Tripods are recommended, but not required. Please be familiar with your camera's operation, dress for muddy conditions, and expect to do some walking. Recommended for ages 16 and up. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent. Reservations required – Call Debra at 408-262-5513 ext. 102.
