What makes an artistic bird photo different then just a standard documentary bird portrait? Join Ray Hennessy who will be discussing and showing all the methods he uses, such as light, space, bokeh, getting close, capturing action and using hides to create unique bird photos that are a joy to look at. He will be sharing over 200 photos captured over the past 10 years that show these different methods in practice and discussing more in depth how he implements these techniques while shooting. Be ready for a wide variety of unique and different bird photos!
