New this year...and one that I am personally promoting is this piece since  
it has so much value



In collaboration with Natures Photo Adventures, this year the Carden Nature  
Festival is offering a premium workshop for all photographers out there,  
Nature Photography 101/Birds in Flight with professional nature  
photographer, David G. Hemmings.


As a wildlife/nature photographer, I have often been asked “how do you get  
those great shots, you must have a really good camera?” Surprisingly they  
learn that the camera gear used is only a small part of the photographic  
experience. The other components include using the right camera settings  
such as proper exposure, shutter speed, appropriate depth of field and  
subject availability. When I was first learning photography, I attended one  
of David Hemmings workshops hoping to learn how be a better photographer  
and understand how to get those 'great shots'. It was the building blocks  
of that workshop which helped me get to where I am today. Instead of just  
pointing and shooting away, I learned to anticipate, plan and execute. The  
frustration factor has diminished in direct proportion to confidence  
gained. David's personal approach and his in-depth knowledge are the keys  
to the success of his workshops. Even though the title of the workshop is  
Nature Photography, any photographer with any camera will benefit from the  
classroom theory and static displays of the raptors.


David Hemmings is a world- renowned bird and wildlife photographer. His  
work is known throughout the nature photography world as some of the most  
dynamic images anywhere today. For those looking for an exceptional  
photographic learning experience and an action packed day, the 1-day  
workshop combines Nature Photography 101 and Raptor Flight Workshops. This  
workshop is ideal for those looking to learn all of the basics of bird and  
nature photography as well as going out and shooting raptors in flight all  
in the same day. This is a combined classroom and outdoor workshop. The  
workshops will be on June 1 & 2, 2013 and there will be minimum and maximum  
attendance requirements. Online registration available, hope to see you  
there! http://www.cardennaturefestival.ca/
