Our guest speaker that night is Michael Milicia  -  BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY : INSIGHTS & INSPIRATION Mike will present a selection of his bird images along with commentary intended to inform, entertain, and inspire. Using example photos, he will demonstrate several key elements that help to transform a bird photo from a simple documentation shot to an artful and compelling image with emotional impact. The presentation will also include some tips on camera settings and field techniques that will boost your productivity and increase the artistic and technical quality of your images.
