Whether your goal is simply to take your birding to another level or to produce professional-level documentary or fine art pictures of birds, this workshop will introduce basic concepts, equipment, technique, field craft, and composition to get you started or help you make better photographs. While the workshop is primarily a classroom activity, two breaks will give you the opportunity to practice in woodland and riparian areas around the Dungeness River Nature Center.
