    In bird photography, it is common to try to fill the frame to give viewers an up-close look at our unique feathered friends. But there's another approach that can also be incredibly powerful. 

    Join the High Country Region as we welcome Ray Hennessy, who will share his concepts and techniques for: Photographing Birds Small in the Frame.

    Ray has mastered this style of environmental bird photography in which the subject often occupies less than 5% of the frame. The results are dramatic and compelling. You won't want to miss his talk!

    The High Country Region is grateful to Ray for sharing his insights with us and to our friends at Hunt's Photo for underwriting this presentation!

    Please RSVP here to receive Zoom details if you're not already subscribed to High Country Region emails.
