Ain’t Just Birds!
Two-Day How-To
Seminar: SAT/SUN March 22-23, 2003
Fort DeSoto Park In-The-Field Workshops: MON
March 24 and TUES March 25
The
two-day seminar is for all nature photographers (not just bird
photographers) who want to learn how to make better images. Artie
will describe the methods and techniques that he has developed and
used since 1983. His comments on equipment (including digital),
film, autofocus, light, exposure, composition and picture design,
image sharpness, getting close to wild subjects, and his tips on
photographing action and behavior will benefit everyone with a
telephoto lens who wishes to dramatically improve the quality of
their images.
The cost of the Two-Day Seminar is
$100.00 at the
door (walk-ins welcome), $90 in
advance. You can sign up for the SAT/SUN
Seminar only by calling JPI (941 752 0550) or by visiting the store

The
In-The-Field Workshop(s) will be held at Fort DeSoto Park.
They are open to all; you do not need to

you would want to miss it...) Limit: 10 participants. A 400 mm
lens with a 1.4X teleconverter is the minimum recommended focal

$200.00/day. Probable subjects include Laughing Gulls and Royal
Terns in full breeding plumage performing various courtship
displays, hundreds of shorebirds including Marbled Godwit, and
various herons and egrets including both the dark and white phases
of Reddish Egret in spectacular breeding plumage with their bright
pink bills and ultramarine blue lores.
