Merritt Island NWR, Titusville, FL - Sunrise Field trip. See Schedule

       We will photograph the rising sun over water from Bio Lab Road. The abundant bird life from this location may be used as props in the landscape, or wildlife studies in themselves. This is one of Florida’s best kept secrets for a photo-op. We will meet at the Parish Park parking lot.  See Map

                  Fee $75.

To register. See registration form.

 

Orlando Wetlands Christmas, FL - Sunrise Field trip. See Schedule

       We will do some landscape photography of the sunrise with water reflections at one of the most beautiful scenic locations in Central Florida. The rest of the morning will be spent photographing flying and perched birds, as well as other wildlife. Bring a tripod and a 300mm or longer lens (a tele-extender would help). The many gray sun-bleached tree branches make interesting and photogenic perches for our avian subjects. Bring bug spray if bugs like you. Wear comfortable walking shoes. We will be walking about 2-1/2 miles.

We will meet at the Wetlands Park parking lot and hike 1-1/2 miles to our sunrise location.  Map and Directions to Orlando Wetlands Park (Adobe Acrobat file)

Fee $85.

Oakland Preserve Oakland Florida

       The plan is to be at the Oakland Preserve parking lot at the designated start time, rain or shine (see map attached). After a short introductory session, we will walk along the 3/4 mile boardwalk and find good nature subjects. The boardwalk ends at a gazebo that overlooks Lake Apopka—were we will gather again, and review work from your camera back. We will also look for flying Osprey and other bird life. In Addition to your DSLR Camera with its normal lens, bring a 300mm or longer lens (a tele-extender would help), and a tripod. Bring bug spray if bugs like you. Wear comfortable walking shoes. We will be walking about 2 miles. Map and Directions to Oakland Preserve (Adobe Acrobat file)

Fee $75.

Bosque del Apache NWR Weeklong Workshop (November 13 - 20, 2016)

Bosque del Apache is probably the best place worldwide to photograph Snow Geese and Sandhill Cranes during their southern migration stopover. Each morning the Snow Geese will blast-off in massive numbers at dawndirectly overhead and in the distance against a mountain backdrop and orange sky. The experience alone is one you will never forget. The photo-op is unparalleled.

Fee $2350 (includes all fees, lodging, and guided instruction, but does not include meals). Call Milton Heiberg at 407-658-4869 if you have any questions.

To register. See registration form.

 

Everglades National Park Friday through Sunday (March 2 - 4, 2019)

We begin our photography session on Friday afternoon at the Royal Palm Visitor Center’s Anhinga Trail.  Catch a sunset across the flat fields of the Everglades. Supper will be followed by a slide lecture on bird photography. Saturday is an event-packed day with short hikes into the Everglades and possibly into the mangroves to photograph wildlife (including an American Crocodile), and back to Florida City for the night. Sunday starts with a sunrise shoot back at the Anhinga Trail. Other stops may include a few hours at Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Green Cay, and/or other sites pending reports.

The necessary equipment for this trip (in addition to the normal photo bag) is a sturdy tripod and a lens of at least 300mm focal length (the longer the better, of course).

If you are coming from the Orlando, Florida area, our car pool will leave from Lake Rose, Orlando, FL, at 7:00 AM, Friday, and arrive back in Orlando between 6:00 and 7:00 PM, Sunday. If you are coming from anywhere else, we will meet you at the hotel in Florida City, FL. We will check in at the hotel, grab lunch, and head out no later than 2:00 PM. A detailed itinerary and check list will be sent to you once you have registered.

Fee: $725 (includes all fees, lodging, and guided instruction, but does not include meals). Call Milton Heiberg at 407-658-4869 if you have any questions.
