Photographing in the Land of the Midnight Sun
Iceland abounds in natural splendor: Waterfalls and glaciers, panoramic views and otherworldly landscapes. It is a land of Northern Lights and midnight sun. And it is the realm of one of the world’s most charming and iconic birds: the Atlantic Puffin. But Iceland is home to much more. During the summer months, Iceland’s round-the-clock sunlight draws in a panoply of birds: Razorbills and guillemots, phalaropes and godwits, plovers and terns, all accompany the puffins in nesting frenzy. Come along with wildlife photographer and Mass Audubon instructor Shawn Carey as he shares images and stories from his recent journey across Iceland, from the island of Flatey, to the bird cliffs of Latabarg, to the Reykjavik peninsula.

South Shore Bird Club "Photosharing"
2015-03-28 19:30 - 21:00 | South Shore Natural Science Center, 48 Jacobs Lane, Norwell, MA, United States
South Shore Bird Club annual members Photosharing.
Share your best bird pictures of the year, the most fun behavior, the quirkiest birds, the most wonderful plumages …
The easiest way to bring images is on a thumb-drive, DO NOT arrive with files on a disk. Anyone that arrives with photos on a disk will be out of luck!
Please name your images with your name (esmith) and a number. Make sure there are at least always TWO digits even for the single digit numbers. (esmith 01… esmith10..)
This will make sure that the images are ordered correctly when displayed. Lightroom can easily do this.
We recommend resizing your images to match the projector that we are using. It has a resolution of 1920 x 1200. It isn’t required, but can’t guarantee the quality of the image if you don’t
Please limit the number of images shown to 10 minutes.
Please name the birds as you show the pictures!

Photographing birds and other wildlife has become increasingly popular over the last ten years with vast improvements in digital technology. Challenges may include questions as where do you photograph birds, when do you photograph them and how do you photograph birds?
Shawn Carey will lead a photography discussion on these topics as well as the equipment needed (camera, computer and software) and tricks of the trade. To illustrate this, he will look at three Mass Audubon properties (Visual Arts Center, Daniel Webster and Wellfleet Bay) all of which have observation blinds or photo blinds to assist in seeing and photographing birds and other wildlife. All of this along with some interesting stories and lots of give and take with the audience should provide for a lively gathering.
Section #1: Photo equipment; cameras, lenses, tripods, photo blinds and other “odds and ends”.
Section #2: Location, location, location! Where and when you photograph birds (and other wildlife) in Massachusetts and what equipment is needed at each site. Plus some other locations in the US that you might want to visit.
Section #3: The Digital Darkroom, you have taken some digital photos, what do you do with them now? What computer software is recommended and how to store your digital photos safely.
