If you would like to learn
how to photograph birds, particularly birds in flight, you've come to the
right place. I have spent the last several years developing
techniques for using large telephoto lenses hand held to photograph birds
and birds in flight. In November of 2006, I began sharing my
techniques with others via my Flight School Photography workshops.
Many of my students have applied the techniques they learned during my
workshops to create amazing images of birds in flight. Success using
hand held techniques isn't a matter of strength, it's a matter of using
the proper techniques. If you are fit enough to comfortably hold your gear in
shooting position for 20 seconds or more, than I can teach you how to
photograph birds in flight.
I provide two types of workshops: a variety of Small Group Workshops (see
below) and Custom
Anytime Workshops.
Small Group Workshops are scheduled in advance and have a fixed itinerary
and featured subjects. They are provided to small groups of
individuals, and the number of participants is limited. Small Group Workshops include both
classroom instruction and informal instruction in the field. The
groups are kept small so that everyone gets lots of personal instruction
in the field.
Custom Anytime
Workshops may be scheduled any time that I am available. Each
workshop is tailored to
the goals of the participant(s). Participants define what they want
to learn and what subjects they want to photograph. The
Custom Anytime Workshops take place in Central Florida via land, via boat,
or both, or I can travel to a location of your choosing.
Please follow the links below to learn more about the workshops I provide.
If you have any questions about my workshops, please don't hesitate to
contact me.
