The camera technology of the last several years has made wildlife, bird, and birds in
flight photography easier than it was before. New DSLR cameras have made action
photography much easier than it was when manual focus was the rule rather than the
exception. Now Mirrorless cameras have entered the realm of nature, wildlife and action
photography.
This program will address the various features of Mirrorless cameras and how to set
them up to obtain images that are at par with the best of DSLR’s. You will learn How to
obtain tack sharp images, Exposure; Auto Focus Modes; Manual Focus; Flight shot
Techniques – handheld and using a tripod with an appropriate lens mount; Panning
techniques and much more.

     "My aim as a photographer is to arrest motion, the very life in our world and to express
my interpretation of what I see around me. My photography is an exploration allowing
me to engage more deeply with my subjects, the places and time where each image
captured is a finite moment, externalized."
