Photographing Birds

Greg Lavaty, one of Houston's most talented and popular bird photographers, will return to the Arboretum for a class and field trip on photographing birds. His photographs have wowed Texas birders for the past decade. Greg's ability to find birds and to capture stunning photographs is a skill that all nature photographers will want to learn.

Greg will discuss lenses and other equipment, how to brave the elements to get good shots, techniques for approaching birds for photographs, composing shots, common mistakes in nature photography, and other topics.

Two evening classes will be followed by a Saturday field trip to the Texas coast to practice your skills.
