This week, we’re in San Diego, California where Jason has just wrapped up a bird photography workshop. This was a great opportunity for us to continue to explore camera settings for bird & action photography, and we both changed up our approaches to image review and triage.

Join me in South Florida to immerse yourself in the art of bird photography with your Nikon camera. This workshop is tailored specifically to Nikon system users, including both DLSR and mirrorless cameras. Each day, we will download and process our images together as a group, receive critiques, and learn my end to end workflow for creating the best possible images using Adobe Lightroom Classic (or ACR), Photoshop, and Topaz AI plug-ins.
This exclusive workshop is limited to 8 participants for a personalized experience and maximum instructor access. Because of the small group size, I’m able to offer a more intimate instructional style that allows each participant to get the knowledge they need to succeed.
Shooting locations
We’ll be photographing at several can’t-miss locations, including the Wakodahatchee Wetlands and Green Cay Wetlands, where you can expect to photograph dozens of bird species from easily accesible open boardwalks.
Join me in South Florida March 5-9, 2023 to immerse yourself in the art of bird photography using Nikon cameras, including (but not limited to) the Nikon Z9 mirrorless camera. Each day, we will download and process our images together as a group, receive critiques, and learn my end to end workflow for creating the best possible images using Adobe Lightroom Classic (or ACR), Photoshop, and Topaz AI plug-ins.
I have over 20 years of experience using Nikon cameras for bird and wildlife photography. This workshop is the perfect setting to master both your camera settings and post-processing techniques for bird photography. We’ll have three days of shooting at some of the best locations in the Delray Beach area, including Wakodahatchee and Green Cay. These can’t miss spots mean you’ll have lots of opportunities to fine-tune both your camera settings and your shooting skills. This workshop will be particularly helpful for Nikon Z9 users, as that’s the camera I’ve spent the last year mastering, and will be using during the class.

I’m pleased to announce the immediate release of the second edition of Bird Photography with the Nikon Z9. This new edition is updated to include the new features (and their consequences) available with Nikon Z9 firmware version 2.1
Most of the time, when we photograph birds in flight, we simply capture an image of a bird against a blank blue sky. Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll get a cloud or two in the background, too. If you can capture flying birds in front of an interesting background, your shots can be improved dramatically.
The southern California coast is a great place to capture unique photographs of birds in flight. The high cliffs offer a vantage point where instead of pointing up into the sky, you can point down at the rocky shore below. The backgrounds can include waves, spray, and the coastline. These dynamic backgrounds make for interesting photographs that are so much more than just plain blue skies.
Join me to photograph birds in flight in San Diego, California, Jan 22-26, 2023.
