About the Workshop

Separate  2-3 hour sessions cover use of flash in automatic mode,  manual mode  and use of the "better beamer".  Aspects of flash usage specific to wildlife/ bird photography are hi lighted.   Hi Speed sync, X sync, Guide number/range calculation ( I calculate this for your particular setup), alignment, zoom head, tilt, fill flash, ambient flash, Humming bird hi speed flash, battery packs, batteries, practical exposure compensation values for field work, and much more.   By breaking this up into weekly sessions you have time to practice and digest the information before the next session.  Class size is 2-4 people.

You need to have an off camera flash (though built in flash is covered), Digital SLR and a short lens (20-90mm or so). I strongly suggest purchasing a 'Better Beamer' flash extender specific to your model of flash available from: http://www.naturescapes.net/store/home.php?cat=21
