Why not join Brian in the beautiful Pocono Mountains region of eastern Pennsylvania? Spring will be unfolding all around us as the birds return to their breeding grounds. Brian is adept at finding the many avian gems that inhabit these forests. Birding a forested area is difficult at best if you have to rely on only your eyes. Brian is familiar with the bird songs and can recognize what species should be present based on the surrounding habitat alone.

Once we have located our beautiful subject we will attempt to photograph them in the best settings using quality natural light, sometimes with fill flash when the ambient lighting needs a little help. You will learn what settings to use for fill flash (-3 is Brian’s default) and when it is best to use less minus compensation. You will also learn why shutter priority mode is Brian’s default camera mode and why it is absolutely best to use shutter priority when working with fill flash in high speed sync mode.
