How to Photograph Birds in Flight
Birds in flight are tricky subjects to photograph. They move fast and can appear erratic and unpredictable. But when shot correctly, the results are extremely rewarding to both new and seasoned photographers.
This free workshop is designed to give amateur photographers the knowledge of the fundamentals including:
Understanding exposure and histograms
Unleashing your creativity via manual mode - playing with aperture, F-stop, and ISO settings
Finding the right light
