Join Stan Bysshe in a crash course on Bird Photography. 

Carolina Wren, Stan Bysshe

Have you noticed how many birdwatchers are carrying cameras into the field these days?  Camera gear has become better and lighter allowing birders to carry binoculars as well as cameras on field outings.  Some birders are using cameras to document bird sightings while others aim for artistic challenges.  Whatever your intention, join us for a classroom session on bird photography followed by two field trips to practice techniques on how to capture bird images. This course will also cover how to enhance, share and store images. It’s appropriate for all skill levels but it would best if you were familiar with your camera prior to the course and field trips.

Stan Bysshe has been a photography enthusiast most of his life. He lived in the Caribbean for a few years and specialized in underwater photography. Now back in the USA, Stan enjoys  bird and mammal photography. He prefers being outdoors watching and learning about birds and other subjects in hopes of catching that special image.

His work has been featured in several Curacao tourist and dive publications. His images have also been featured in the North America Nature Photography Association Expressions publication, Outdoor Photographer and at Nature Visions Photo Expo. His photo of a tree was the cover of the Fall issue of Outdoor Photographer.

Stan is the Past President of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, a large camera club where he was reminded weekly of the breadth of photographic talent in our area. He especially enjoys mentoring new members.
