On June 12th, we’ll be joined by photographer, teacher and Rocky Mountain School of Photography founder Neil Chaput de Saintonge to talk about photographing birds. He will cover everything from recommended gear to exposure and focus. Included will be Neil’s top 10 tips for photographing stationary birds and flying birds. Join us and learn how to improve your bird pictures.

At each session we will share our photos (up to 6 per person) and discuss current projects, interests, successes, and challenges. Some sessions will feature a guest presentation on an aspect of photography.

Note: Please bring your photos to share on a thumb drive to use in our computer.

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”
― Ansel Adams
