Bald Eagles, Snow Geese and Wolves
All Day Date: 11/13/2009 - 11/15/2009

One weekend, three species, three states. Come join wildlife photographer and instructor Sean Quintilian on a weekend of intense wildlife photography.

We will start on Friday evening with 2-3 hour of instruction. On Saturday morning we will drive together to Bombay Hook NWR, near Dover DE., to photograph the fall snow geese migration, where we will have opportunities to photograph snow geese by the thousands.

After a late breakfast we will head to Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River in MD, home to the best bald eagle photography in the eastern U.S.. There we will photograph eagles in flight as they fish and interact. Last November Conowingo hosted over 200 eagles. Saturday eve we will enjoy dinner together and show off shots from the day.

Sunday morning we'll be at it again as we head to the Wolf Sanctuary of PA, near Lititz PA. There we will spend the morning photographing the 25+ wolves that Speedwell calls home. Special attention will be spent on using flash to help isolate wildlife subjects.

Through out the weekend the instructor will be spending time with each student, focusing on capturing birds in flight, exposure modes for wildlife, flash use for wildlife and composition. A long telephoto lens will be essential for this workshop, a minimum of 400mm, contact the instructor for rental recommendations if needed.
