General Information:
These are instructional field trips
designed to improve your nature photography skills. They will be led by
Milton Heiberg, a thirty-year veteran, teacher, and author of nature
photography.
Requirements are that you have the
proper equipment, which normally means a DSLR (digital single lens
reflex camera), sturdy tripod, adequate media storage and lenses, proper
walking shoes and apparel, insect repellent, and in some cases, lunch and
show up on time.
These trips are designed for
photographers of all levels, novice to professional. The emphasis is on how
to photograph nature.
See listings for specific additional
requirements.
If you have any specific questions, please call Milton Heiberg at 407/658-4869
evenings.
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.

Fee $75.

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.

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.

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 dawn—directly
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.

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.

just have specific photo consultation need. For more information,

If you are a beginner, just bought a new DSLR camera, and/or
