May 6-11 : Florida is the best state to photograph birds in the country! In the spring, Florida provides a host of photographic opportunities for a nature and wildlife photographer. Not only are there many exotic species of birds but they are far more acclimated to humans. This makes it easier for photographers to get much closer to the birds. For the first 3 days of the workshop we will be based just outside of Titusville. During this time we will mainly focus on the coastal areas east of Orlando which has beautiful beaches and wetland areas where a lot of wildlife and interesting landscapes can be found. We will then move to St. Augustine to visit a rookery of wading birds. At the rookery you can expect to photograph birds in spectacular breeding plumage and capture behavior such as courtship, nesting, feeding, flight and more. You will also photograph chicks of a few species as well. While the workshop will be geared toward avian photography it is likely that we will have! opportunities to photograph some landscapes as well. Species you may have opportunities to photograph are: great blue heron, great egret, snowy egret, cattle egret, little blue heron, tri-colored heron, green heron, american coot, moorhen, american bittern, least bittern, whistling duck, mottled duck, mallard, black necked stilt, sandhill crane, anhinga, limpkin, white ibis, glossy ibis, osprey, bald eagle, crested caracara, ruddy turnstone, willet, sanderling, roseate spoonbill, wood stork and more! An orientation meeting and presentation will make participants aware of the various photo opps and how to take advantage of them. There will be plenty of field instruction. Techinical aspects like creating sharp images of birds in flight, creative opportunities of capturing birds in their environment, and a lot more will be covered. If you are fairly new to avian photography, you can expect to leave with a strong foundation of how to make quality images of birds. If you are an advanced photographer you will be introduced to new ideas and have plenty of opportunites make quality images to add to your portfolio. A group critique session will be give you a chance to receive feedback on your images and immediately make the required adjustments in the field. Participants will need to purchase a photo pass ($79) to enter the rookery in St. Augustine. This is highly recommended as it allows early and late access to take advantage of the best light. Participants are responsible for their own meals, transportation, and other incidentals. A group rate has been arranged with the hotels and will be available up to one month before the start of the workshop. Complete lodging info will be provided on registration.

May 17-20, 2012 : May is one of my favorite months to shoot images in Montana. It’s greening up in the valley floor, there is abundant water with lots of migrating birds and there are dramatic snow-capped mountains looming over this spectacular landscape. One of the best places in which to capture this picture postcard environment is the Mission Valley of Montana. The valley is extremely striking with the Mission Mountain Range rising abruptly in the east from the valley floor. There really aren’t too many places in Montana that can rival this setting. From our base in Polson, we will have amazing opportunities to capture springtime in Montana at its finest. Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater natural lake in the west should have cherry orchards in bloom, the National Bison Range will just be opening and there should be newborn bison calves, there are cool looking clay cliffs along the Flathead River and plenty of rural roads with access to the Ninepipe and Pablo National ! Wildlife Refuges with their wealth of birds are just some of the possibilities with this special workshop. We will meet at 6pm on Thursday, May 17th at the Best Western lobby in Polson. Kwataqnuk Best Western Inn, http://www.kwataqnuk.com/ 406-883-3636 Workshop Price $699.00 406-862-0521 chuck@chuckhaney.com http://www.chuckhaney.com/workshops.html May 18, 2012
