Join the Brooklyn Bird Club for our upcoming meeting tomorrow: HOW TO TAKE BETTER PHOTOS OF BIRDS: PRESENTED BY TOM STEPHENSON AND AUGUST ONSGARD FEBRUARY 18 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM At Brooklyn Public Library Main Branch At Grand Army Plaza
Birds make beautiful pictures. And photos can be useful in making tough IDs and also serve as memories of great experiences. But birds can be very difficult to photograph well. This workshop covers everything you need to know to make great, sharp bird photos. We will cover camera basics, how to set up for different conditions, advanced tips and tricks for the field; and also the importance of post-processing and how to make a good photo look professional. August Davidson-Onsgard is a birder and wildlife photographer from Brooklyn whose photographs have been published by NPR, CBS, and in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology 2020 Calendar. His photos have been included in the Audubon Photography Awards top 100 the last two years in a row, and he has recently been added as a contributing photographer for Living Bird Magazine. During migration season, August leads the Fort Greene Park bird walks for the Brooklyn Bird Club. Tom Stephenson is the author of The Warbler Guide and the Warbler Guide and Bird Genie apps. His articles and photographs are in museums and many publications including Birding, Birdwatcher’s Digest, Handbook of the Birds of the World, Handbook of the Mammals of the World, Birds of Madagascar, and Guide to the Birds of SE Brazil. For several years he was on Zeiss’s digiscoping team for the World Series of Birding; and in 2011 his team won the World Series Cape Island Cup. In 2014 Tom and his team set the US record for a Photo Big Day, taking pictures of 208 species in one 24-hour period. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
