Join award-winning, professional wildlife and nature photographer and writer, Dawn Wilson, on a small group photo tour to capture action-packed images of bald eagles.
Who doesn't love photographing eagles, and what better way to do that than to have dozens of them right in front of you. This location west of Seattle attracts an abundance of bald eagles in May and June when spawning fish make easy targets.
But it isn't just the eagles that congregate along this waterway. Great blue herons, gulls, American crows and other scavenger birds also join in the buffet. It is sure to offer a diverse selection of photos — from interaction between different bird species to bald eagles stealing food in midair from each other to beautiful flight shots of eagles set against the mountains of the Olympic Peninsula.
Shooting times and agenda varies slightly each day as the feeding frenzy is dependent upon the tides. I will provide a detailed itinerary for the days you purchase upon registration, meeting at a location near the shoot sight prior to setting up our camera gear.
How many days in the field is up to you. Choose one day or all six. I'd love to show you the details for a successful and fun experience while helping you improve your photos.
Why go with Dawn? Participating in a photo workshop with Dawn, recognized as a top-ten female nature photographer by Wild Planet Photo Magazine, provides the opportunity to get more personal attention from an experienced and passionate nature and wildlife photographer. Her goals for your photography include helping all participants with composition, teaching about animal behavior for better photos, instruction on how to create visual and emotional impact, and understanding camera techniques. Your photo workshop leader has a varied skill set and can provide a wide variety of photography instruction, including
guidance for camera equipment (she shoots Nikon gear but has familiarity with Canon as well), creative photo techniques, Photoshop and Lightroom, and how to get the best photos of the eagles and scenery of western Washington state.
During down times and as desired by the workshop participants, we will download, edit and critique photos from the trip.
