Class Description:
Have you recently upgraded to a digital or mirrorless camera and love photographing wildlife? Or do you have a good eye but find your animal photos aren't turning out as you envisioned? If so, this class is for you!

Designed for upper beginners and serious hobbyists, this course is perfect for those who want to elevate their nature photography skills and own more than a basic point-and-shoot camera.

The seminar will focus on wildlife photography fundamentals—including equipment, composition, depth of field, histograms, light compensation, and autofocus—as well as advanced techniques to refine your craft.

Class Structure:
This is a three-part seminar:

  1. Classroom Instruction: Learn the essentials of wildlife photography.
  2. Field Session: Apply your skills in a short outdoor shoot, practicing techniques from the classroom.
  3. Image Review and Workflow: Return to the classroom to review your photos and explore digital editing using Adobe Photoshop.

By the end of this course, students will have a solid understanding of their camera's basic operations, essential photography terminology, and the techniques needed to capture outstanding wildlife photos for both print and digital platforms.
