This is an early morning, golden hour, introduction class to bird photography (adults only). We’re here to help you with those blurry shots, out-of-frame birds, focusing on the wrong spot at the wrong time. Nothing is more frustrating than taking a gorgeous wildlife photo, then coming home, loading it to your computer, and seeing you missed the shot. In this class, bird photography experts, Leslie & Mike Anderson will provide you with classroom and hand-on training, assisting every step of the way.

Leslie and Mike Anderson are award winning photographers, receiving over 25 honors and awards from National Geographic, Audubon, The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, The Nature Conservancy, and Nature’s Best Photography
