Zoom Meeting – Ann Kramer
Venturing into the wild world of nature to capture wildlife images, whether you are looking for a bird, a moose, a bear or a squirrel, is an invitation to adventure and unpredictability. Learning how to be prepared for the experience can help you to avoid the potential for frustration and mishaps and have a thrilling and positive experience instead. Ann will explore some of the factors to help you become a prepared and comfortable wildlife photographer.
- Climate, tides and light
- Outdoor attire
- Camera equipment
- Camera settings
- Physical positions
- Accessories
- Philosophy
- Practical considerations
- Travel planning
It’s a never-ending journey once you embark into nature. Whether your wild is the backyard or a national park, there are factors you will need to consider that don’t apply to studio work.
This presentation will help you with the things you need to know for photographing wild things and the steps you might want to take to become prepared and comfortable with a nature adventure.
Zoom meeting opens at 6:30 pm for a social time before the presentation. Visitors are always welcome.
