Do you want to capture stunning shots of waterfowl and other birds this winter? Join photographer and naturalist Matt Felperin for a webinar on bird photography. The program will be most helpful for beginner and intermediate photographers who have a superzoom digital camera or DSLR with telephoto and/or wide-angle lens. Matt will go over camera settings, light strategy, composition, behavior, gear, angles, and research.

An optional local field trip will be held on Saturday, February 25 for a small number of participants.

ASNV often features Matt’s photographs on its website and in its publications. You can view some of his latest work here.

He truly treasures the Chesapeake Bay and has enjoyed field work and naturalist programs in several types of habitat within the Chesapeake Watershed. He credits working under naturalist Greg Kearns for truly sparking his love of birds. As the NOVA Parks Roving Naturalist, Matt leads environmental education and recreation programs such as bird walks and kayak tours for the public. He views his wildlife photography work as one of the most useful tools to connect people with nature.
