Clay Taylor of Swarovski Optik will give
classroom presentations, demonstrate
equipment in the field, and photograph live in-the-wild
birds and raptors at Platt River South Surban Park on
Friday
April 2 from 2pm till 6pm and at Chatfield State Park
on Saturday April
3 from 9am till 1pm. .
After taking photographs
in the field, a review of the experience will take place
back in the classroom with a demonstration of photo
shop software.
We will have available the spacious and very pleasing
Carson Nature Center and the Audubon
Society of Greater Denver's Nature Center
classrooms to work
in. Each offer overlooks that will be perfect digiscoping
and photography platforms.
On hand will be the latest and the hottest
equipment from Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss, and Vortex,
at a minimum. .
There are so many things you can do when
photographing and or digiscoping wildlife, especially
birds. Check out this short video of the baby
Broadtailed Hummingbirds
pictured above being fed
in the nest digiscoped with a Leica point-and-shoot
camera and a Swarovski spotting scope. It can be
seen here on youtube.com.
No matter what your experience level, if you are
interested in what's new in wildlife/outdoor
photography and/or learning more about the
exploding
popularity of "digiscoping" then this is a perfect
opportunity for you. Space is limited and there is a
small rental fee of between 8-11 dollars for the facility
depending on your residence. We will fill the
workshop vacancy on a first come first served basis.
