I come to my workshops with 25 years of teaching experience at a university, combined with 13 years of nature photography experience. My workshop approach is to keep it simple and design it specifically for the individual novice or intermediate-level nature photographer's creative and technical goals. This is why I allow no more than two students to a workshop. Examples of topics that can be addressed during a workshop include:

• Correct exposure for white and dark birds
• Applying filters and camera settings for long exposures waterscapes
• Manual camera settings for correct exposure and depth of field
• Creative lighting and composition
• Multiple exposures for waterscape or landscape shots
• Approaching birds and other wildlife

You will come away with several new field techniques, a more sophisticated understanding of your camera to maximize its potential, a deeper understanding of lighting and composition, and productive in-field experiences that will carry over into your photography forever. Also, be sure to check out my "Getting the Shot" blog for some basic instructions for in the field and post-processing.
