Advanced Bird Photography: Warbler Series

This hands-on, online series is designed for intermediate bird photographers that have completed the Audubon Bird Photography Workshop. The goal of the workshop is to photograph warblers in breeding plumage during the peak of their migration. Students that have not completed the Audubon Bird Photography Workshop can still enroll in this workshop but must provide the instructor a portfolio that includes their best five static images of small birds (cardinal size or smaller) as well as five in flight images of medium size birds (red-tailed hawk or smaller) to demonstrate their skill set

Each week will include a two-hour online classroom session, weekly assignments to practice skills and strategies covered that week, and the sharing of images from each assignment with the group for constructive feedback and reflection. The instructor will use student work to demonstrate basic post-processing techniques, including integration of the digital flow, using a raw converter such as Adobe Lightroom for publishing or printing.

In addition to 6 hours of online instruction, each student will receive one hour of individual instruction via email, phone, video chat, or in-person field instruction (adhering to current COVID safety requirements).

DSLR and Mirrorless cameras with full auto and manual functions and wide, telephoto, and close focus capabilities are ideal for this class. While all levels of skill are accepted in this class, all students need to be familiar with their camera functions
