The
Crealdé School of Art Presents:
Bird Photography (PH277) - Winter
9 sessions,
(5
classrooms & 4 field trips)
Tuesday,
7:00–9:00 p.m.
Main Campus, Winter Park
Learn to photograph birds from a life-long birder and bird photography
instructor. Learn how to get close without disturbing the bird’s
lifestyle—within the social distance of each species, and how to get winning
photos of flying birds. You will need a lens of at least 300mm; 400mm or
500mm would be better. If you are planning to buy a long lens, wait until
after the first class.
Classroom sessions will begin with a critique of the work done on the previous
field trip. The later part of the class session will be a discussion of topics
listed on the syllabus. Practice these skills during four instructor-led field
trips.
Prerequisites: Digital Photography II or similar experience.
