Wildlife and bird photography is a specialized form of photography that does require some special equipment and a few specialized skills. But it’s not that hard to get good results if you know what to practice and have a little patience. It’s not even that expensive to get started anymore! The class even includes an outing to the Carolina Raptor Center for you to practice your new skills. 

Supplies:  Please bring an adjustable camera, your instruction book and an empty memory card to class.

Night photography is not difficult, but is a little different from taking pictures with the aid of the sun. You have to find man made light or you have to provide your own light. Even more exciting is the art of Light Painting where you use flashlights and other tools to turn a dark scene into a work of art of your personal vision. The creative possibilities are endless. 

Supplies:  Please bring an adjustable camera, your instruction book and an empty memory card to class.
