Jim Dunn was the Festival’s 2015-featured photographer and one of the Festival’s most popular presenters. He says, “Birds in the wild are an intriguing subject for any photographer. Making beautiful photographs of wild birds places requirements on the photographer and his or her equipment that are very different.“ Join Jim for a morning foray at the Cosumnes River Preserve to discuss equipment options for wild bird photography, and learn some of the key skills and techniques to get good photographs. This is the first time we have scheduled Jim’s tour at this great bird habitat. To see examples of Jim’s photographs, go to www.avian-images.com.
