Join us at the Nature Center for a morning avian photoshoot. Professional photographer L’aura Bradford will provide tips for bird photography, including: lens choice, camera settings, composition, photographing birds in flight, perches, feeder setup, and ethics of backyard bird photography. Throughout the class, we’ll emphasize responsible practices for photographing birds at home and in the field. Please bring whatever camera you have (yes, cell phone cameras too). Group size is limited, pre-registration is required.

Bring your camera, your curiosity, and a love for feathered visitors!

NOTE: These are individual events and you must register for each date you want to attend.
