Atlanta Urban Bird Photography

Do you want to take amazing photos of urban birds? Would you like to do so in your own back yard? If so, join me, wildlife photographer Don Orkoskey, on Saturday April 11th at the Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve.

We’ll discuss how to create amazing photos of bird. Photograph birds in any setting from the heart of the city to the amazing public parks and forests around Atlanta to the vast wild areas beyond. We’ll go over helpful tools, techniques, and things to avoid doing. Plus, we’ll walk the grounds of the incredibly gorgeous Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve (CSNP) in Decatur. CSNP is home of dozens of species of birds. There, I’ll show you how to listen and look for birds, how to use tools such as the Merlin app to identify them, and how to approach and photograph them with care.

If you’re just getting started as a bird photographer or photographer more generally be sure to check out the Atlanta School of Photography’s full list of classes. As there isn’t much time between now and the class consider a private lesson to build your skills.

Learn more about me and my work as a wildlife photographer here on my website or on my personal website at Orkoskey.com. I can’t wait to see you on the 11th!
