Program: Avian Jewels: How to Photograph Warblers
Presenter: Cameron Darnell (Hunt's Camera) (Video)
Program Description: Warblers, a group of small insectivorous songbirds native to North America, are diverse, colorful, and photogenic. These exciting birds that can be quite tricky yet rewarding to photograph. Certain techniques--often highly specific to warbler behavior--can give wildlife photographers an edge when attempting to photograph these remarkable birds. In this workshop, Cameron will explain how to approach the challenges of warbler photography and how to create thoughtful, engaging images. He will share descriptions and image examples highlighting various techniques to demonstrate how to photograph warblers.
Cameron Darnell's autobiography: "I just graduated high school, am 19 years old, and enjoy nature, athletics, and music. I got into photography after birding for a while when I saw someone with a lens clicking shots on a bird walk seven years ago. It seemed so fun, so I tried it with a beginner digiscope setup. I was hooked immediately! I love the creative aspect of bird photography, how each viewer sees the scene differently, and can create his or her unique vision of the subject. It’s fulfilling to provide an outlet for visual wildlife conservation as well through my bird photography."
