West
Coast Flight Workshops Orange County, California
July, 2011
Join 2010 BBC award-winning photographers, Jim
Neiger and Doug Brown, in
July, 2011 for a workshop focusing on birds in flight. We've
selected the area around Huntington Beach, California for its
incredible number and variety of birds, not to mention the great
weather! In July, Terns
will number in the tens of thousands, and there should be no fewer
than five different species (Elegant, Forster's, Caspian, Royal, and
Least). Black Skimmers, Pelicans, Egrets, Herons, and Gulls will
all be plentiful. There will also be opportunities to photograph
more challenging subjects such as raptors, Kingfishers, and
shorebirds.
The focus of the workshops will be on mastering the hand held long
lens technique favored by both Jim and Doug. Manual exposure for
birds in flight will also be emphasized. There will be an
instructional lecture on the first day, followed by morning and
afternoon sessions in the field for each of the next three days.
As an added feature, you will have the opportunity to hone
your Lightroom and Photoshop skills with Jim and Doug during the
free time in between field sessions.
The workshop will be limited to twelve participants; with two expert
instructors available, everyone will receive plenty of
individualized attention both in the field and the classroom.
