Good subjects, light, exposures. Thanks, Ken! > Just wondering - > +was this your first workshop? If yes, why did you decide to attend > one? Yes. I really, really, really love birds and want to improve my skills in photographing them. I thought it would be a good idea to try a workshop and meet some like-minded photogs to see how they work. > +why did you choose Downing? I did a web search on photography workshops in Cape May, knowing it was a good birding spot. Downings came up and it looked good with the right price and an opening. Plus he's a local (lives North of Baltimore, Maryland) and he started a web forum at www.naturescapes.net. Artie Morris and some other notable nature photographers work with him too. > +did you consider the fee worth what you got? Worth every penny spent. > +would you do it again? I'm looking at one of his workshops in Texas for the spring..... :-) > > Just curious. > I've attended many week long workshops and have always considered them > money well spent for the learning experience & shooting locations (I don't > have the time to scout out where to be & when). And this is where Downing excelled. He KNOWS the birds and can predict where they will be and what they will be doing with alarming accuracy becuse he's been shooting around Cape May for years. "6pm, time for the skimmers to start having dinner. Get the flight lenses out..." and boom, the skimmers start taking off and "skimming."
