Digital Deer & Megapixel Mallards
Local photographer and wildlife biologist Art Kirsch takes us on an exploration of what it takes to get your feet wet (pun intended) in the wonderful world of Wildlife Photography. Although geared mainly towards folks with minimal photographic experience, more seasoned camera-users will also find his presentation interesting and helpful as they perhaps add wildlife photography to their repertoire. Art touches on many of the aspects you will need to know to take your wildlife photos to the next level, from the nuts-and-bolts, to the more creative.
Points covered will include (but not be limited to):
Equipment
Light
Exposure
Composition
Wildlife behavior and locations
Personal style
Methods & strategies
And more…
About the Presenter
From an early age, Art Kirsch always had an interest in nature and the outdoors, and has been photographing wildlife for over four decades now. A recently-concluded career as a Wildlife Biologist with the NYS DEC has given him a unique opportunity to acquire the knowledge and appreciation for wild things that has furthered his success with a camera. Art lives in the Bristol Hills of the Western Finger Lakes with his wife Kathy and their two Labradors, and specializes in portraiture of the common, and not-so-common wildlife of New York State.
