In-Depth Instruction
Participants will learn how to make award-winning hummingbird images including how to:
• setup and use multiple high-speed flash units
• control flash output to freeze hummers in flight
• prepare attractive photo backdrops using flowers
• attract hummers to a setup once it's complete
• determine correct exposure for maximum depth-of-field
• select proper equipment to do it themselves
We provide professional backdrops including flowers. Each participant will have their own set-up for the entire week. Participants supply their own flash equipment. This will allow them to continue photographing hummingbirds upon returning home.
Participants will receive unlimited office support concerning selection of proper equipment prior to arrival in South America.
Spouse: Non-photographer spouses are welcome. The Tandayapa Valley is the perfect location to relax and enjoy the best that nature has to offer.
