About the Class
An extensive community of people are devoted to watching and photographing birds. Why? They're spectacular creatures with varied size, coloring, and behavior across countless species. One thing birds share in common: they're not so easy to photograph--they don't pose where you want them to and it's often tricky to get close enough to photograph them. Professional birding photographer and Olympus Visionary, Scott Bourne, will be sharing his secrets for capturing spectacular bird photos in this one hour virtual class.
