Interested in getting into bird photography, but don’t know how to get started? In this class you’ll hear the story of how a former banker with an iPhone became an award-winning and published photographer with a “big girl camera.” You will also learn key elements of bird and other wildlife photography, camera and other equipment options, resources that can help you in the field, places to go to photograph birds and other wildlife in Mercer County and beyond, photo editing, resources that will provide additional tips and guidance, and how you might promote your own work in the future. You’ll apply what you learn during a field trip and get in-class feedback on your photos. This class is meant for beginners with no or very limited, experience using a camera in manual mode. Topics will be covered at a high level with information about how and where to get additional details.

NOTE: Class Requirements—A smart phone (phone capable of running downloaded applications and taking photos) and for the field trip you will need a bridge/superzoom, DSLR, or mirrorless camera.

NOTE: The field trip location will be determined by the weather and terrain. The instructor will inform students of the location in class, but it will be within approximately a 20-mile radius of Princeton.
