  Photographing Birds and Other Wildlife: "Where, When and How"

  With the vast improvements in digital technology photographing birds and other wildlife has become very popular over the last ten years. More people then even are now experiencing the joys of photographing birds, mammals, insects and other natural history subjects every day. With that is the understanding there are many challenges that need to be better understood. The "Where", "When" and "How" being top of the list.

  Where do you photograph birds?

  When do you photograph birds?

  How do you photograph birds?

  All good questions and all require a good answer. For this program Shawn Carey will speak to these topics and use examples of three Mass Audubon locations all with "blinds" in place for use to help photographers acquire better photos. Shawn will also talk about some of the equipment needed (camera, computer and software) and tricks of the trade in hopes of helping improve everyone's photographic skills. All of this along with hopefully some interesting stories and lots of give and take with the audience should provide for a lively gathering.
