“All we have to do is open our eyes to see the beauty that surrounds us” – gwc
Getting good photographs of birds, butterflies, insects and other small subjects
is not an easy task. Knowing how to use the equipment you have or what equipment
you may need is a big part of the learning process, as well as being useful in
getting good photos.
The photo weekends have been designed to help you
accomplish this and provide you with many photo opportunities.
Most of the time will be spent photographing the various subjects and plenty of
time will be provided for helping you develop your photos skills and for
answering questions.
The photographic areas consist of three plus acres that have been developed by a
photographer for photographers. The National Wildlife Federation has designated
the area as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat. Areas have been developed to attract
various birds, butterflies and insects. To date we’ve had over 30 varieties of
birds to visit our photographic areas plus various butterflies, moths, skippers,
chipmunks, squirrels, and reptiles.
Instructors

numerous books, calendars, magazines and company brochures. His work is
represented by photos stock agencies and is sold worldwide. He and his wife
Janice host “For Everything There Is A Season” photo weekends. They look forward
to having you join them for a photo weekend.
Robert Smith is a wildlife biologist who has been carrying a camera in the woods regularly since 1987. Robert has had images published in a number of books and magazines. Robert enjoys helping other photographers learn more about the subjects we photograph.
Cost of the photo weekend does not include motel, travel, and meals. We provide
Saturday lunch, snacks, soft drinks and water.
