📌 Millie
"I learned a lot about the environmental impacts on bird photography that I had not considered before. I tried some photography in the Golden Hour, as explained in the course, and had great success! I also learned how to use eBird and found many birding spots near my home I wouldn’t have thought of. This was a very useful course!"
📌 Gord
"This course provided a lot of great information about how to choose when and where to shoot birds and get sharp photos. It shows how many factors go into sharpness. It’s pretty much a one-stop shop for learning how to get sharp bird photos."
📌 Mark
"I often try to make exposure/speed adjustments on the fly, hoping one setting will work. This course helped me settle on a smaller range of settings and led to more consistent results."
📌Gaetan
"I absolutely loved this course ! Travis has this incredible energy when explaining something he cares about that makes you hooked to your screen. I especially appreciate the fact that he’s always reflecting on what he has done before in order to improve his work and shares all of the tips with us. This course saved me a lot of time in my practice by anticipating mistakes I almost certainly would have made without even realizing it."
