Discover the Art of Bird Photography
Love watching birds in your backyard or garden? Learn how to turn those moments into memorable photographs at Introduction to Photographing Birds: From Lens to Landscape, a special afternoon of photography, birding, and nature at Santa Margarita Water District.
SMWD is excited to welcome Krisztina Scheeff of KS Nature Photography, an award-winning professional nature photographer, conservationist, and photography educator whose work has been recognized by the National Audubon Society and featured in publications worldwide.
During this introductory class, Krisztina will share photographs and stories from her wildlife photography journeys while introducing participants to techniques and ethical practices for photographing birds and other wildlife. Her photography workshops welcome participants of all experience levels, making this a great opportunity whether you’re getting started or simply want to improve the bird photos you already take.
Then, put what you’ve learned into practice! Visit the Sea and Sage Audubon Society information booth to pick up a specially curated birding guide for SMWD’s half-acre Demonstration Garden before heading outdoors to look for and photograph some of our local feathered visitors with guidance from a professional photographer.
Bring your smartphone or camera—no advanced photography equipment or experience is necessary.
Share Your Best Shot!
Participants will also be invited to submit a photograph taken during the class for a special SMWD photo contest. Selected photography may be highlighted in SMWD’s On Tap newsletter and social media channels.
Whether you’re a backyard birder, habitat gardener, nature lover or someone who simply enjoys snapping bird photos on your phone, come discover new ways to observe—and photograph—the birds around you.
What to Bring: A smartphone or camera and your curiosity!
Come for the photography. Stay for the birds. Leave inspired to see your own garden through a new lens.
