During the August 17 presentation at CCA, Ferris will share the knowledge he’s acquired about when and where to go to observe and photograph elk, pronghorn, deer, coyotes and other mammals. Bird photography enthusiasts will gain insight into good locations for hawks, falcons, eagles, hummingbirds and other winged creatures. This presentation also covers cameras, lenses and settings for bird and wildlife photography.
Please bring your own camera where feasible. The Digital Resource Center at Coconino Center for the Arts has a limited number of 4 cameras and lenses available to borrow, first come first serve.
Registrants are invited (but not required) to join Ferris for a wildlife photo walk early on the morning of August 18 Participants will meet at the parking area of the Upper Lake Mary dam at 5:00 AM.
