HOME

Birds Photography Workshop presented by 

Mark Rayner and Michael Snedic

First Workshop: Friday 7 June 2013

Where: Lamington National Park (O'Reillys Plateau)

Join Michael and Mark for a full and exciting day learning the secret tips 

and techniques of bird photography, both at rest and in flight.

Session 1

Our day commences in the near O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat as we capture images of many small 

rainforest dwellers such as Regent Bower Birds, Eastern Yellow Robins, Eastern Whipbirds, 

Lewins Honeyeaters, Satin Bowerbirds and more.
You'll learn to identify and adapt to the behaviour of different species and anticipate their movements. 

Knowing what they are up to will boost the opportunities to capture amazing images.




Session 2

After morning tea we'll track down an active bower and stalk the Satin Bower Bird as they maintain 

and decorate the bower. With patience we may see him entice a female for courtship to the bower.




Session 3

After lunch, we will utilise the marvellous 'Birds of Prey' flight show presented by Mark 'The Birdman' 

Culleton.
You will be fully briefed on the correct settings and techniques to capture the birds in flight as they pass 

overhead. An amazing show and an equally amazing opportunity to learn how to photograph birds in 

flight.




Session 4

Join us in O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat's Media Centre as we look at the best ways of bringing out the 

most from your digital avian images. Sharp eyes, feather detail and colour that will make your images 

'pop'. Mark and Michael will also present a 'Best of Birds' from their respective collections and share 

their secrets as to how the images were captured.
