    Short videos filmed by participants are presented and critiqued to help with the learning process. Equipment information and techniques are shared and a very informal and helpful environment lends to helping everyone improve their skill level

    Burrowing Owls & Optional Lunch Field Trip

    What:  

    A Burrowing Owl expert will guide us to locations over a 2-hour period (8:30-10:30am) to photograph owls and chicks. At the end of the guided tour, we will  be able to continue photographing for 45 minutes or so before we meet for lunch.

    Background: 

    The burrowing owl is a pint-sized bird that lives in open, treeless areas. The burrowing owl spends most of its time on the ground, where its sandy brown plumage provides camouflage from potential predators. One of Florida's smallest owls, it averages nine inches in height with a wingspan of 21 inches. The burrowing owl lacks the ear tufts of the more familiar woodland owls. Bright yellow eyes and a white chin accent the face. Unusually long legs provide additional height for a better view from its typical ground-level perch. They are listed in Florida as a Threatened Species.




    (Thanks to Steve Race for the photos)

    While the docents will often let one get fairly close, during nesting seasons that the boundary is 33 feet (which may guide you in the selection of lenses you might want to bring).  If anxious, they will run or fly away or at times retreat to their burrow and start hissing. Their population is dwindling due to loss of habitat and the eradication of prairie dogs and other animals that dig burrows.

    https://www.fws.gov/species/burrowing-owl-athene-cunicularia

    Registration Limit: 

    20 participants. If you register and later find you aren’t able to go, please cancel your registration to allow another member on the waiting list to attend.

    Cost: 

    The guide will charge $15.00/pp (cash only), donating all proceeds to the Cape Coral Friends of the Wildlife: https://ccfriendsofwildlife.org/

    Directions and Parking:

    Follow your GPS to the Pelican Baseball Complex, 4128 Pelican Blvd., Cape Coral and park by the public restroom, at the back of the complex.  The baseball complex is 82 miles from LWR Town Hall.  We will meet the guide at 8:30 AM..


     Lunch is not included in the guided tour cost.

    We have reservations at 12 Noon at Ford's Garage, 1719 Cape Coral Parkway, Cape Coral, about 3.5 miles (15 minute drive) from the Pelican Baseball Complex.  https://fordsgarageusa.com/locations/cape-coral/.

    RSVP: 

    For Tour and Lunch options, please register by Thursday, May 1, 5:00 PM.  We have limited this event to 20 due to the sensitivity of the owl habitat and ability of the guide.

     Suggested Equipment:

    Camera (Mirrorless, DSLR or Cellphone)

    Super Zoom, 500mm+, a wide angle for context shots is optional

    Monopod/Tripod: Best captures will be taken at the ground level; consider a beanbag for the lens and/or small chair.  Tripod should be able to get low to the ground

    Polarizing and/or ND Filters

    Water

    Hat

    Sunscreen

    In the case of inclement weather, we will notify those registered by 5:00 PM of the day prior.

    Jackie will discuss various topics including preparation, equipment, photography, to post-processing. Jackie will dive into Lightroom and Photoshop to demonstrate how she edits a typical bird image and also how she adds some creative elements when she feels so inclined.

    The Theme is "Through the Window"

    • This theme includes taking a photograph through a window, photographing a subject looking through a window, or using light obviously coming through a window (with at least a portion of the window in the image). Search "Creative through-the-window photographs for inspiration."

    Upload your image before 5:00 pm on Wednesday, July 30.

    Click here to submit your image.

    The requirements are the following:

    • One image per member.
    • Digital image file: 
      • High quality JPG or PNG file.
      • 3840 x 2160 pixels (4k resolution) maximum.
      • Quality setting: 85+ in Lightroom, high in Photoshop, or similar in other programs.
      • Color Space: sRGB
      • 5 Mb maximum file size.
    • Criteria judged will be the overall impact, composition of elements, technical aspects, and adherence to the theme. It is important to keep the theme in mind when choosing your image.
    • Scoring by judges will be on a 20-point scale:  19-20 Excellent; 16-18 Stands Out; 13-15 Meets many criteria; 10-12 Meets some criteria; 6-9 Meets few criteria; 1-5 Missed the mark.
    • The file name is your image title. Make sure the title reflects your image, and does not contain your name or anything else that identifies you as the maker. Choose a title carefully. A good title will complement the image.

    Registration is not required. Just click on the link above to submit your photos.

    Each member is allowed to send up to 3 photos and/or a short video each month. Those photos and/or video can be on any subject as this is a great way to let other members see what kind of photography interests you, and what you have been shooting during the past month.

    Please try to adjust your photos to at least 1920 pixels on the horizontal edge, if you can. If you are not sure how to do that just send them anyway. If there is a problem with their size, Dave Kurshan will let you know and walk you through the process of how to resize your photos.

    The Theme is "The Power of Red"

    • The color red is rich, intense, and full of emotion, making it a powerful tool in photography. Whether it's a vibrant sunset, the glow of neon lights, or a striking piece of fashion, red can dominate a scene or subtly highlight a key detail. In this theme, red serves as a focal point, drawing the viewer's eye with its bold presence. Experiment with the color red in your images and explore how combining red with recessive colors such as green can add depth and meaning to your image. Search "Inspiration for spectacular photos with the color red."

    Upload your image before 5:00 pm on Wednesday, October 1.
