Beginner Bird Photography Virtual Class - Houston Bird Week 2023

Virtual Event: Have you ever admired stunning bird photos on social media, in nature magazines, or wall calendars and wished you could take photos like that? Well, you can! Join Cameron Kirkpatrick, Houston Audubon, and the Houston Audubon Young Professionals Advisory Council (YPAC) during Houston Bird Week as we discuss all the skills and information you need to get started in bird photography. The only requirement to start is a camera, almost any camera in fact, and a desire to learn.

Topics include:

• Birding and Photography Ethics
• Gear
• Camera Modes and Settings
• Composition
• Post Processing
• Tips and Tricks
• Local Birding Hotspots

Cameron is an amateur birder and photographer who has been photographing birds since 2017. Cameron is also YPAC Committee Chair of the third annual Flock Together Photo Contest. You can see his photos and follow his adventures on Instagram @thetexasbirder.
