The Art of Nature Photography; It Ain't Just Birds!

Weekend Seminar

A PhotoRoad Show Pro Seminar Series Event

Sponsored by Canon USA

Dallas, Texas,  November 5-6, 2005

Internationally renowned bird photographer Arthur Morris (hey, that's me!) is offering--in conjunction with Photo Road Show--a two-day weekend How-to seminar, "The Art of Nature Photography: It Ain't Just Birds."  More than 18,000 of my technically perfect, artistically designed images have appeared in virtually all natural history, photography, and birding publications, as well as in many general interest publications, prestigious calendars, advertisements, and on posters and web sites the world over. A Canon contract photographer since 1995, I did a worldwide television commercial for the EOS 1N and appeared in seven episodes of the Canon Photo Safari television program.  I am a contributing photographer with VIREO, Visuals Unlimited, Windigo Images, and The Corbis Stock Market, and have written four books; the latest, The Art of Bird Photography is considered the classic how-to work on bird photography.  In addition, I am a contributing editor for Nature Photographer and a columnist for Popular Photography.  

But more important than the fact that I am well known and oft-published is the fact that I am one of the premier photo-educators around.  I lead more than a dozen BIRDS AS ART/Instructional Photo-Tours each year, and all sell out well in advance.  Part of the reason for the great popularity of the IPTs is the in-classroom instruction that is part of each tour.  Having taught elementary school for 23 years, I am a skilled instructor with a straightforward, easy-going style.  My points are made clearly and concisely, and each is illustrated with one or more spectacular BIRDS AS ART images. My  sense of humor will often leave the audience laughing out loud, and the pace of the seminar days is fast and varied, so you can rest assured that you will not be sleeping through your investment.

This seminar is for all nature photographers who want to learn how to make better images. I will describe the methods and techniques that I have developed and used since 1983.  My comments on equipment (including digital), autofocus, light, composition and image design, and sharpness and my tips on getting close to wild subjects and photographing action and behavior will benefit everyone with a telephoto lens who wishes to dramatically improve the quality of their images. Since going all-digital in November 2002, I have--in short order--become a digital photography and Photoshop expert.  My approach to optimizing images is to create a master file of excellent quality in the shortest possible time.  I will share our workflow and numerous Photoshop tips during the Sunday session.
