Why attend this hands-on pre-conference workshop?
You will get three hours of bird photography outside up close and personal
and with David and Ken providing tips for getting sharp images with impact!
You could stand on the long line for the bird photo-op for your three images, but you cannot capture in three shots what you will capture and learn in three hours!!
David will assist you and give you advice on lenses, light, composition, exposure and depth of field while you are using (your own or a borrowed) Tamron lenses and shooting portraits of the birds from Wingmasters. You will also learn about shutter speed, auto focusing modes, focusing tips and more. During the shoot you’ll be able to try out the latest Tamron lenses! Note that this workshop will be outside, weather permitting (with a backup inside location). Prerequisites: Bring your camera. The fee for the workshop is $98 (including the 3% UMASS admin. fee). For all skill levels, but please note that you must be able to walk to and stand during this three-hour workshop

CREATE YOUR OWN PHOTOGRAPHY OASIS
http://necccphotoconference.org/create-your-own-photography-oasis/
The Certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat is a program that encourages people to manage their gardens & yards as a wildlife garden. Through planting native plants and providing food, water, and shelter for wildlife, you can provide critical wildlife habitat and create a safe-haven for wildlife. This is a win-win for photographers as you do not have to travel to get nature photos!
David has been a photographer since 1972 when his father presented him with his first camera, but his career in photography started in 1992. David learned his craft originally as a painter and from his father who shares his love of nature and photography. Early in his career he traveled with, learned from and taught beside some of the masters of nature photography including John Shaw, Art Wolfe, Galen Rowell, Bryan Peterson, Pat O’Hara, and Rod Planck. David has been teaching photography since 1994 in the classroom and leading workshops around the United States. David presents and leads workshops at many of the country’s top photographic conferences such as the Photographic Society of America Annual Conference, as well as many camera clubs across the USA.
