Jane’s presentation will explore the often-overlooked aspects of photographing birds.
This isn’t just about camera settings, editing and gear, although these things will be covered. It’s more about embracing the patience, creativity, and emotional connection that truly transform a photograph. Whether you’re struggling with missed shots, dealing with the pressures of performance, or simply looking to take your bird photography to a deeper level, Jane hopes to inspire people to go beyond the technical.
