Hello Kathleen,
As I am planning the 2025/2026 wildlife photo workshops, I'm reflecting on the many incredible moments over the past decade. Every workshop has been a unique experience - filled with laughter, learning, and the magic of photographing wildlife. Thank you for sharing these journeys with me. You're my circle of friends and I look forward to more wildlife experiences with you. See the new workshop dates below.
For the Apple iPhone users, the Apple iPhone 16 pro models were announced last week. If you're thinking about upgrading, there are new camera features definitely worth looking at:
- Camera Control button on the side of the phone
- 5x Telephoto camera
- 48MP Ultra Wide camera
- Record 4K 120 fps in video mode and slow-motion
- ...and more if you didn't upgrade to the iPhone 15
The Digital Imaging Group has some great upcoming wildlife photography learning sessions you won't want to miss:
- Oct 1 - Matt Huras - Capturing Compelling Wildlife Images
- Dec 3 - Lisa Langell - How to Photograph Nature in High Key Style
- Mar 4 - Joe & Mary McDonald - Hummingbird Photography: It’s Exciting! It’s Fun! And We’re Going to Help You To Do It Successfully!
Wishing you good health, love and laughter. And as always great light!
