Digital Wildlife Photography

A Cape Cod Field School – 3 day course

Explore the art of wildlife photography using digital technology. The varied environments of Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod offer a wealth of photographic opportunities and challenges. During this course, participants will have an opportunity to visit a number of different habitats around the sanctuary, while learning about your digital SLR camera and photo techniques. Birds, dragonflies, butterflies, turtles, and wildlflowers will be our subjects.

Early morning and late afternoon photographic sessions will be complemented by indoor class time that will cover a wide variety of topics in both photography techniques and the digital camera including camera function, use of natural light, depth of field, shutter speeds, white balance, composition and the use software-based photo editing.

Use of the instructors’ professional cameras and accessories will be encouraged; however, participants need to supply their own Canon or Nikon digital SLR camera (no point-and-shoots) and have a working knowledge of their equipment. This course is appropriate for intermediate to advanced photographers.

Course includes dinner on the first evening. Sanctuary housing is not available; ask us for a list of local accommodations.
