Feathers in Focus: Full Day Bird Photography Masterclass (Paid Event)

Join award-winning nature photographer Donald Quintana for a small-group, full-day workshop set during peak fall migration at Indian Creek Nature Center. Surrounded by vibrant prairies, woodlands, and wetlands, this scenic location provides the ideal backdrop for photographing birds in their natural habitat.

We’ll begin early in the field with guided instruction on ethical bird photography techniques, composition, and light. Bring your camerra and longest focal length lens you own. After a break for lunch , the group will move indoors for a hands-on post-processing session using Adobe Photoshop or your editing software of choice. The focus will be on enhancing images with care, clarity, and creative intent. So bring your laptop or other device you use for editing photos.

This workshop is designed for intermediate photographers who want to improve both their fieldwork and editing skills. Dress for the weather, bring your camera gear, a sack lunch, and be ready for a full day of focused learning and connection with nature.

Pre-registration is required. $160 for Non-members, $150 for Members
