Put it on your calendars, we are heading back for another Birds of Prey Workshop, February 25, 2012. Our group had so much fun, we just had to go back for another round!
Join us for a unique opportunity to photograph birds of prey such as Bald Eagle, Great Horned Owl, Swallow-tailed Kite, Barred Owl, Short-tailed Hawk, Barn Owl, American Kestrel, Eastern Screech-owl, Red-shouldered Hawk, and Merlin as well as falconry birds such as the Peregrine Falcon and Harris' Hawk. And, if weather allows, the Harris' Hawk and Peregrine Falcon will be free flown by the falconer! Falconry tools such as jesses, gloves, and hoods will also be available to photograph.
You will have two photography sessions with the birds, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, placing the birds in several different realistic situations with natural backgrounds. The hands-on, in-field instruction will allow you to transform your animal portraiture skills for not just birds, but all manner of widlife. A mid-day classroom session is also included.

This past December we launched our first "Total Exposure" courses, and the response was phenomenal! Although the initial round of feedback from our participants was very positive overall, we did receive some great ideas to make these classes even better. Some folks wanted a more advanced class, some wanted just time in the field, and some were just plain happy with the original class and wouldn't change a thing. So we have added a few new flavors to the original line up, and now have three different courses for you to pick from, "Fundamentals", "Advanced", and "In the Field".
We are offering these classes again through Groupon for the price of $59 each (regularly $199), starting tomorrow, April 8, 2011, and running through April 9, 2011. Limit 3 Groupons per person, just enough to get you to all three classes! We have a added a bunch of dates through June, you can check out the complete details and schedule on our site at: http://www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com/zen-cart/total-exposure-crash-course

Staggeringly beautiful and diverse, the Everglades is the largest remaining subtropical wilderness in the US. It has been designated a Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance in recognition of the significant global impact if it is not protected and restored. The 'Glades is home to an amazing array of wildlife and ecosystems, join us as we explore and photograph this unique and vitally important place, taking you deep into the heart of the Everglades on a one-of-a-kind photography adventure!
This workshop is lead by Jason Hahn, award winning professional nature photographer and Florida Master Naturalist. Jason has spent countless hours exploring Florida's natural beauty, from the uplands, to the wetlands, to the coasts, photographing its diverse wildlife and scenery. Jason, along with the skilled guides of Everglades Area Tours, will lead you into the Everglades via boat, kayak, and hike. While many photography tours only take you to places you can see from the side of the road, we will take you off the beaten path deep into the Everglades, exploring hidden and rarely seen places where you will photograph the amazing wildlife and scenery of this incredible place.

We have just returned from our inaugural "Grizzlies and the Alaskan Wilderness" Photography Workshop, it was an amazing trip! First though, we have to thank our hosts, Redoubt Mountain Lodge, for their hospitality. They went above and beyond anything we could have expected, providing great guides, food, and accommodations in one of the most beautiful settings I have ever been to. We are definitely looking forward to next year!

Our workshop will again be hosted by Redoubt Mountain Lodge, an exclusive retreat tucked deep into the heart of Lake Clark National Park that provides unparalleled access to the Alaskan wilderness and its wildlife.

Recently we introduced our VIP program for anyone who has taken a workshop with us in the past. Basically you receive a permanent discount on all future workshops with us, additional discounts for referring others to us, first dibs at new workshops, etc. One of the biggies though, is that if you take 5 workshops with us, you get a free full-day, one-on-one workshop with either Jason Hahn or Les Voorhis (called our Repeat Offender Program)! Well, we have now officially had our first Repeat Offender! David Strozdas from Oklahoma has been on our Texas Trophy Whitetails workshop, a one-on-one with Les and one with Jason, he is going on the Grizzlies and the Alaskan Wilderness workshop in August, and he just came back from our Prairie Dancers – Sharptailed Grouse workshop this past weekend! Congratulations to David for earning his free one-on-one workshop with Jason in Tampa Bay! With all of the workshops he has been on recently, David had a few things to share about them…
A note from David: Nicole, I’ve just returned from the “Prairie Dancer” Workshop and couldn’t be more pleased with the photographs I ended up with. In my opinion, just having the opportunity to watch the mating ritual of the Sharptail Grouse was worth the trip, not to mention having the opportunity to photograph the activity. Dick Kettlewell went above and beyond with his efforts to insure that we were in the right place at the right time, sharing his knowledge and helping to insure that I was prepared at the right moments for capturing optimal photos. Dick’s knowledge of the area and additional prairie species lent itself to affording me some of the best wildlife action photo’s that I have taken in quite some time. To say that I am thrilled about the photos I took this past weekend is an understatement.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone – you, Jason, Les, and Dick, for the invaluable instruction and assistance with the development of my nature photography over the past year. I couldn’t have selected a better group to learn and develop from. I have experienced a definite “higher level” of outdoor photography skills as a result of everyone’s help and I feel fortunate for that. I would also add that I am always treated as a “photography friend” and not just as a student or client. After experiencing other teaching methods and styles, I can assure you that you are now stuck with having to see me on a regular basis at your workshops now. I recently took advantage of your VIP repeat offender offer and experienced a free one-on-one workshop with Jason in Florida. Again, I came away with great photos and as always, garnered more photography education in the process. Please let everyone know that I am appreciative beyond words, and look forward to seeing you in Alaska this summer!
Sincerely,
David Strozdas
Thanks for the kind words, David! So glad you have enjoyed our workshops and we look forward to seeing more of you in the future!

We just got word from John Martin with the Images For Conservation Fund that there is a spot open for a photographer in their forthcoming 2010 Pro-tour. This competition draws photographers from around the world, and is extremely competitive and challenging. Photographers are individually paired with a Texas ranch where they live for a month photographing the wildlife and scenery on the ranch. At the end of the competition, each photographer submits a portfolio of images covering five categories of wildlife and scenery, which are then scored by a panel of judges whom are all noted photographers in their own right. Top portfolios win the photographer and their ranch cash prizes based on how they placed in the overall scoring.
If you are interested in taking part in this competition, please contact John Martin at (956) 381-1264 or visit the Images for Conservation Entry Forms and Rules page for details and applications.
Note from Jason Hahn, OPW Instructor: I was invited to compete in 2008, and in 30 days I captured over 14,000 images and observed dozens of species, many rare and endangered. Being on the pro-tour has to be one of the greatest experiences in my photography endeavors so far. Having never done anything quite like this before, I did loads of research, brought tons of gear (including a kayak which I found was not much use in very dry Duval County!), and tried to prepare for every possibility. I was very fortunate to be hosted by a generous family who were full of hospitality, on an incredible ranch that was full of wildlife. Overall I placed fourth in the competition, with seven of my images placing in the top 100 (the top 20 in each of the 5 categories) and was the highest placing first-time competitor in the competition. Overall this was a very challenging experience that made me come away from it a better photographer. While it was hard to be away from home, it was an experience I will never forget!

I was very fortunate to be hosted by a generous family who were full of hospitality, on an incredible ranch that was full of wildlife. Overall I placed fourth in the competition, with seven of my images placing in the top 100 (the top 20 in each of the 5 categories) and was the highest placing first-time competitor in the competition. Overall this was a very challenging experience that made me come away from it a better photographer. While it was hard to be away from home, it was an experience I will never forget!
