Content and Overview
This course is divided into different sections, each consisting of a varying number of short and concise video lectures (typically between 4 and 8 minutes long) that cover specific aspects of wildlife photography. I use a carefully-chosen combination of clips, consisting of 1) me talking directly to you; 2) settings diagrams; 3) videos of wildlife; and 4) striking wildlife photographs. The lectures don’t necessarily have to be watched in order. You can jump around and watch whatever catches your eye or specific lectures about topics that you know you are struggling with.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL LEARN FROM THIS COURSE:
What makes a good wildlife photograph!
Four things you HAVE to get right plus my personal TOP 5 Wildlife Photography Trips.
