Have you ever wanted to photograph these incredible creatures?

Published 8 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

​

Last year, I led a fantastic photo workshop alongside Aaron Baggenstos to photograph the beautiful hummingbirds of British Columbia.

​

We stayed in a beautiful mountain lodge, ate great food, made new friends, and shot thousands and thousands of photos.

​

It was such a blast that we're doing it again in June, and we still have a couple of spaces available.

During the workshop, you can photograph three of Canada's hummingbirds: Rufous, black-chinned, and calliope.

​

We spend time photographing them using natural light and multi-flash setups that produce the incredible results you see above.

​

Don't worry! We provide all the flash gear and instruction you need. You don't need any experience photographing with flashes, or even bird photography for that matter.

​

Click here for all the details. I'd love to see you there and teach you all my tricks!

​

Cheers,

​
Dan

Hello Reader, A couple of months ago I emailed about the outrageously good teleconverter performance of the Sony 300mm GM lens. Knowing how much I enjoy using this lens compared to my 600mm f/4, it got me thinking: should I buy a second one? I know that sounds crazy, but a pair of them would be lighter and cheaper than a 600mm f/4 lens, and using the teleconverters would give me nice combinations of 300mm, 420mm, and 600mm focal lengths. I decided to pull on this thread a little more, so...
