Program: Photographing Birds and Wildlife in Massachusetts
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 two Mass Audubon properties (Museum of American Bird Art and Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary) both 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.
