Smyrna Chapter July 17 Meeting: Daniel Zdonczyk - Hummingbird Photography

Daniel Zdonczyk is a neurologist who has been performing bird photography for more than 20 years. His interest in human–bird interaction gradually influenced him to focus on hummingbird photography for the last 12 years. This presentation will cover the technical aspects of camera and lens settings and four different types assisted lighting. This can extend the natural light hours to maximize hummingbird photography opportunities. A personalized approach to composition that allows the hummingbird's tame behavior and personality to show through also will be covered. Daniel has taken multiple trips to South and Central America, and can share his experience and information about the best places to go for hummingbird photography.
